Happy Bastille Day!

I had my first commissioned photography job earlier this week. I took pictures of food for a restaurant here in town (MoTav). They are starting a breakfast for dinner night on Monday nights and needed someone to take pictures of the dishes for them. Well, Noah works there part time and said, "Hey, I know someone who takes pictures!" It paid in wine and food rather than money, but a job's a job! I had a great time doing it! In honor of Bastille Day, here's one of the shots that I took: French Toast! If you're in SLO on a Monday night and feel like some delicious breakfast food, stop by MoTav and check it out!

Summer Lovin'

There's just something so wonderful about spending time with your special someone during these long summer days. The sun stays up late and comes up early so you have just that much longer to act like silly teenagers together. Now if only I could figure out how to keep work from getting in the way.

oh really?

What is it about signs that tell you not to do things, that just make you want to do them? Especially no trespassing signs. Seems they're always trying to keep you from going somewhere awesome. Don't worry, I stayed on the path like a good girl. I didn't cause any mischief...well at least not there.

just another manic monday

On Friday, I went out for an adventure. After living in SLO county nearly my whole life, I had never been out on the Bob Jones Trail before that links SLO to Avila Beach. It was a beautiful walk. Depending on which website you go to, it says the trail is anywhere from 1.5-4 miles long. Which means round trip, you're looking at 3-8 miles. I'll say, it definitely felt around 2.5-3 miles one way. It was amazing to start walking in what seems like the middle of nowhere (if you can call a road right next to the highway the middle of nowhere) and walk for awhile and then end up at Avila. I had perfect timing too, as Farmer's Market was just getting started when I walked up. Next time, I think I'll take Noah and my bicycle with me. Hope you enjoy the photos I took along the way. They'll be posted over the next few days.

I want this Sunday

Ok, so this Sunday's isn't necessarily one that I want, but I can think of a few people in my life who would love to own this camera. And unlike those Michael Bay movies, no explosions necessary...just a few friends saying, "cheese!"

Jenny hears a who

So, I know in the book, Horton puts the dust speck onto a clover, but doesn't this look like the "clover" in the cartoon? As soon as I saw it, I instantly thought of Horton Hears a Who. Anyone else really miss Dr Seuss? Still remember being on the school bus riding home when I heard on the radio that he had died. I was a month into second grade. Ahhhh...childhood memories.

TGIF

It's my day off, it's gorgeous outside, I think it's time for adventure!
