Bokeholic
Ever since I started toying around with faux tilt-shift effects in my photography I've been getting some questions about how I'm achieving the look.
Sadly, I don't own a tilt-shift lens. They're way too expensive for wh [...]
The Tree House
The second half of our time at Humboldt State was spent living in "the Tree House," the self-appointed name for my friend's giant house on the highest hill in Arcata. We lived there with her, two other gals an [...]
Arcata (Part IX): The End, My Friends
Well, I finally made it. This is the last post in my Arcata series from the month+ I spent there this summer. Seeing as I'm done (done done done) with school, there's no telling when we'll be in that area again.
So, to wra [...]
Arcata (Part V): Riggs’ Digs
Allyson and Jamie moved out of their cabin-like home and into a sardine can this summer. It's pretty darn cute!
They don't have much for a back yard, but they do live down the street from Big Pete's, Redwood Yogurt a [...]
Arcata (Part II): Food Porn
Breakfast: Most days I had chopped fruit topped with muesli, peanuts, plain yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Drinks: Lots of tea was consumed, and even though I don't really drink coffee, you have to go out for i [...]
Arcata (Part I): The Tree House
This summer's been such a busy one for me that when I got back from summer school, I'd forgotten entirely about all the photos I took while I was in Arcata! I took so many that I've divided the posts into 9 categories: Kr [...]
I Want It, I Want It, I Want It
Earlier this week Allyson let me take her D90 on a test drive. I pretty much fell in love with the video capabilities, but I'm still partial to my D50 when it comes to actually shooting photos. That might change once I [...]
Moonstone Revisited
Yesterday was my last opportunity to take advantage of Allyson's job at Moonstone Grill, a ritzy little restaurant about 15 minutes north, in Trinidad. Chris and I had joined her about a month ago for my first tiny step int [...]
Christmas and Beyond
I was going to do the obligatory photo-dump of everything I got for Christmas, but since we're moving next week it all got loaded up and hauled away before I even had a chance to enjoy most of it! I'll have to wait until Ma [...]
Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween this year! We threw a spooky-ooky dance party, full of dorky good fun: we bobbed for apples, ate loads of sweets and most importantly, danced our pants off! Kudos to Kristina (mi [...]
Zombies and Munchkins, But No Munchkin Zombies
As I've mentioned before, I love games of all sorts. Video games, card games, board games-- I even like games that involve physical exertion (though to a much smaller degree, natch). When I think of settling down in the futur [...]
Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!
This past Sunday I threw an ultra mini-picnic in my back yard as one last "Hurrah!" to summer.
I made a quick and easy pasta dish for everyone to eat. On the side of my bowl are a few slices of rosemary bread, which E [...]
