Technologic

I have a confession.

There are times I can be a complete computer geek. No excuses, or shamelessly hiding it… yes I do own a MAC and LOVE it, YES I do own an IPHONE and adore it. And yes, I DO get excited when I walk into a Mac store. Technology is my friend, and I intend to use every pointless app, design tool, and tricky technique to make my work easier and more often than not…. way fun. SO, in lou of this discovery I give to you my three top APPLE tools.

...well at least this week.

(1) SCREEN SHOT. So you can capture ridiculous moments like these…

(2) GPS in my phone- that is right, I have Mobile ME so don’t even THINK about stealing my phone… I will find you.

(3) 8mm (for IPhone)- This app is ridiculous. I do admit, I hated the fact that modern technology has consumed the elegance and individuality out of a monstrous handful of cameras including the Polaroid. There are millions of Polaroids in perfect condition floating around thrift stores and hidden in closets. Juat make NEW film, why produce a brand new model

This guy is ridiculously talented.

i wonder if he has a MAC.

we had little a clue.

this is where our adventure began.

one pack 30 yr. aged 75 color film
restored beauty Polaroid land film camera
two pairs of mittens
one rusty green bridge
hot liquid chocolate rice
and a but load of frowns and slippery feet
oh! and a sore bum.

lets just say I have Google and blue tape to thank,
and a decade worth of dust to fault.

The film was a bit shot
or we collectively somehow managed to over expose every single photo.
the picnic made up for our lack of Polaroid skills



lunch:
grilled portabello on wheat
dried mango
chocolate pretzels
sweet potato chips
grapefruit
& apple
smiles all around

winter play date

I would like you to meet my adorable cousin Marion. She is quite simply the cutest little blonde you have ever seen. We had a play-date at Railroad Park this past weekend. With matching hats, and a burst of energy we both twirled around the park, riding imaginary elevators,

and climbing on top of the world.

Truly an inspiration she is.

She found a play date at the park, he showed her a few moves known specifically as "pop-up" and of course, how to roll down a hill.

Love you bunches little M

a touch of magic.

The home of Ray and Karine.

Let me share with you a few sneak peeks into my good friend Julian's parents home.
Last week my roomie Christian and I ventured over to Julian's house for dinner.
Karen had prepared quite a feast for us when we arrived, Greek chicken cooked to a crisp, roasted veggies and orzo pasta, freshly tossed salad with a homemade vinaigrette sauce,
and chocolate lava cake to boot.

meal incredible
conversation spectacular
sweet company
the house....
Magnificent!
don't you think?

2011

Passed I have the season of giving, after wrapping up last minute presents and holiday cheer I decided it was time to purchase a new year's gift to myself.

I have been saving,debating, and confusing myself for too long with when, what, and how I will be purchasing a new camera. Quite the impulse buyer, I finally did it. After a short reassurance with my friend Rachael (thanks Rach), I was convinced the Nikon D3100 would suit quite nicely. Plus my good friend Emma just got the exact same for Christmas... so maybe a bit of jealousy? Jokes.

All night I have been taking random photos of my house, fingers and toes,poor crippled Christmas tree and crafts to try and figure out a few of the settings gadgets and gizmos... so look forward to PLENTY more beautiful posts with my snazzy new camera:)

I hope everyone is having a splendid new year!
