Got home from work about an hour ago but although 11:30pm is much later than I ever used to go to bed (10 was typical, 9 a lovely treat!), I always seem to be both exhausted and yet wired from such mentally and emotionally taxing work. And after 5 days straight I am especially taxed....

In honor of Mary Cassatt’s birthday
Happy Birthday, Abby!
Abby, dear friend, wishing I was there to celebrate you on your special day, sharing a piece of Ina’s coconut cake (even though I don’t like coconut cake, but I’d do it just for you!) and a cup of tea. What great conversation we’d have. Have a wonderful day. You deserve it! (Image here)
Random things
I woke up groggy this morning. Not sure why. I know I slept deeply and dreamed vividly, so perhaps that has something to do with it. I dreamed that I was at work having to yell at different students to stop whatever wrong thing they were doing. As I lay in bed I remembered I...
Another sponataneous adventure: Michigan
I had the opportunity to go on another spontaneous road trip adventure, this time to visit Julia in Michigan. I arrived just in time for an afternoon snack of a Michigan specialty, Schuler’s cheese dip.While Julia was in class I saw a movie (Earth – Breathtaking!) and wandered around downtown Kalamazoo’s train tracks.On the drive...
Review
Sometimes for fun I’ll go back through old pictures. Much of the time I w ish I could retake many (ok, most) of the pictures with my current photography equipment & knowledge. But sometimes I am reminded of shots I love that I took with a simple point-and-shoot camera and I remember why I love...
Take me out to the ball game!
I’m off to my first Cubs game of the season! (Quite honestly it will probably also be my last of the season considering I generally think watching baseball is like watching paint dry, but when in Rome and all.) Liz got us hooked up with great seats just 10 rows or so behind the Cubs...
In search of an adventure: Utica, IL
When I didn’t get called in to work yesterday, the blue skies and beautiful spring weather beckoned for a spontaneous adventure. My friend (and fellow classmate) Cait was up for a little road trip as well so we decided to do some wine tasting out in Utica, in north-central Illinois. We soon discovered that all...
Update: Second Shooting
Meeting was successful and I’m hired to officially second shoot for her for a wedding in late September. Unfortunately that was the only wedding left that she needed an official second shooter for but in a few weeks I am going to work as her “assistant” for one wedding where I’m mostly there to carry...
Second Shooting
For several months now I’ve been playing email tag with a local wedding photographer about the possibility of working for her as a second shooter. Between my crazy work and school schedule and her schedule, we’ve been unable to meet and discuss this. When it turned out I didn’t have to work today I called...
