More wedding stuff! This is Kathleen's bird cage veil. I think it's excellent. I know it's a little bit hard to see as a veil in this shot, but I think it works as an interesting bisual anyway.

So Kathleen read somewhere that you can grow little avocado trees by planting avocado seeds. First step is you partially submerge them in water until they sprout. Here's to hoping this experiment goes well, because we love avocados.

This past Friday, I did a photo shoot for a local band called The Fox's Waltz. Most of the kids in this band are ex-students of mine. I'll be working on a lot of photos that they'll use for promo material, album liner shots, and that sort of thing, but for the sake of my own project, I'll just stick to this one for now. Click on this to look at it closer and on black - the bigger the better.

Tomorrow Kathleen and I are going on a 3 day mini vacation to Saugatuck where we'll be staying in a bed and breakfast with a fireplace in our room and lots to read.

I can't wait!

Today I brought home my wedding suit. I love the details of it.

(the wedding is June 16th - I like getting things done ahead of time as well)

Kathleen and I make delicious pizza together. Look at this one full size for a moment - the expore had to be pretty long because it was being lit by the oven light, so you can see the out of focus bits where the cheese was bubblig.

Delicious.

(2/2 International Monetary Fund)

This is the second in my two part series about international money. I won't explain the joke.

(1/2) International Monetary Fund set.

Kathleen has a lot of foreign money from her trips around the world. Here we have some Chinese Yuan, some Russian Rubles, an assortment of small British coins, some coins from teh Czech Republic, I think a Canadian coin or two, and at least one piece from India. I could't get them all in focus at the same time, so you'll just have to trust me on this.

Look for next week's shot to be similarly theme.

This is what Scout would look like if she had a real job. And if she got caught embezzling.

Bad dog.

(2/52) Winter Has Arrived

The first half of January here in southern Michigan has been marked primarily by low 40 degree weather and rain. This is highly abnormal. So yesterday, the temperatures finally dropped and we got a couple of inches of snow. It's not much (at least not on this side of the state), but it'll do.

So for my first week, I'm back to my old tricks from my 365 project (e.g., I'm using lots of restricted light). I'm looking forward to experimenting more in the weeks to come.
