Our Kitchen

I know this isn’t a normal post from me, but my wife worked really hard sanding, painting, and decorating our kitchen over the past couple of weeks so I thought I would share! (unfortunately I don’t have a great “before” shot, but this is best I have from when we first moved in)

Film Friday – Holga 120N

So this if my first “Film Friday” post. I recently purchased a Holga medium format camera from a photographer friend (Elizabeth Leighton) in Dallas. Since this was my first round at medium format film (or film in general), I decided I needed some good test shots. Here are a few from the wedding this past Saturday and our Memorial Day festivities (ultimate frisbee) out at Macarthur Park.  The only thing I did post process wise was a little levels here and there.

Let me know what you think!

Life – Dinner with the Family

Lately, I’ve started to realize the more and more I take pictures, the less and less I take pictures of the daily events in my own life.  I’ve decided to challenge myself to take pictures when I’m with family, friends, or whoever, because honestly, they’re probably the only pictures that will mean a lot to me years down the road.

So I’m beginning a “Life” series (no not like the Discovery Channel).  It will be pictures that consist of my life and those closest to me.  It won’t be an everyday thing but hopefully it will be fairly consistent (which will be tough with wedding season coming up).

The first is a dinner I had at my parents’ house yesterday.  It’s not normal for all of us to be able to get together, especially outside of major holidays, so we decided to eat dinner.  Of course, in normal motherly fashion, my mom made way too much.  .
