A Weekend in the Emerald City, Day 2 (Part 1)

Believe it or not, all of these, and all of the photos in the next part, were taken in the span of a single day, namely - last Sunday.  It was a gorgeous experience to chase Seattle's light, and I was completely stunned by some of the flares I captured.  Of course, the lighting at the EMP was awful, still I had a ton of fun there too.  I don't quite have the time to tell you guys all about the trip yet (Johnny is feeling better, but I am still very busy with trying to help him get over his cold), so let's let the images speak for themselves.  

Enjoy Seattle life!

A Weekend in the Emerald City, Day 1

We finally made it to Seattle, and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL.  The city exceeded my expectations - and they were very high - and I can't wait to tell you all about our adventures in my personal blog.  Until then, please enjoy Jet City in this photo-journal of three parts.

The Big One

This weekend we celebrated Johnny's first birthday.  It was a beautiful moment of light, smiles, and sweet stuff!

Happy Earth Day!

Today, for me, is a more important date than Christmas, my birthday, and even my wedding anniversary (and equally important to Johnny's birthday) because it celebrates Earth - our Green Spaceship that gives all of us shelter, food, water, and air; it enables not only our survival, but the very chance to experience love and happiness, to grow and to become better.  As many of you know, I am a very passionate environmentalist, and I care deeply about Nature and animals.  I try to live in a way that would allow my child to keep experiencing those good things, and I aim to set an example for him, to raise him aware about the implications our choices have for the world, and to show him how great this world is, and how many amazing things there are out there, things that are nothing short of miracles.

Notting Hill Carnival 2008

The Notting Hill Carnival was one of the raunchiest, drunken, colorful, and loud street parade I've ever attended.  There was a lot of Caribbean food, African dances, and scores of regular Londoners watching the show, hanging out, and enjoying themselves.  Also, there was a lot of humping.  Let's leave it at that, and allow the images to speak for themselves.  I took these with my digital point&shoot Kodak.

 

Rad Red Ranuculus

Oh boy.  This was such a pleasure to shoot - fresh Farmers' Market flowers, morning window light, Shelby, and Johnny, trying to eat the petals/overturn the vase.  I love doing personal work at home, and I find the combination of white, green, and red in these very charming!  Enjoy!
