My boyfriend, Jimi, and I like to tour on our bikes. I have just uploaded new images from a tour we did of the Upper Peninsula in Michigan during the summer of 2011 and I can’t fit one into a category at this point so I’m posting to the ol’ blog.

Senior Pictures
So I took some senior pictures near Paris, MO a few weeks ago and thought I’d post a few of them. The area is beautiful and I was really excited to have so many elements to play with in such a small area.
When there is a photo that I like or I think the client will like I give them a color copy, a black and white copy and a desaturated copy as well. The first and last photos are desaturated and people seem to really like that although it goes against my photojournalism background to edit like this.
Yes, I realize it has been a year
So I dropped in on this blog and realized it has been almost a whole year since I have posted anything. Considering everything I have been up to this is pretty much unacceptable. In the photo world I have an exhibit at The Vault in Mexico, MO and will be judging a photo competition later this month. I was offered a job at the National Guard as a photographer and laid off before I was even able to get one day in.
But, the biggest change in my life since my last post is centered around this fine looking fellow. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to Jimi.
Hollywood
Last weekend my brother and I decided to hike up to the Hollywood sign….

We got a little lost on the way up, but found the original Batcave…..
This is the cave (that turned out to be a tunnel) from the 50’s television series.

On our way down we saw a rattlesnake and it scared poor Brian….
But he recovered and we made it home safely.
Ocean to Sea Trail
Here is the trail I walk on every day. It’s in Irvine, California and it’s called the Ocean to Sea Trail. Like most things there are good and bad sides to it.
The Good:
The Bad:
For those of you that know me, you know I think this is very very bad.

A couple of weeks ago I went to Joshua Tree in Twentynine Palms, California with my brother and did a little climbing/wandering/dehydrating. It was nice. I’m pretty lucky to see some of the stuff I get to see.
Blizzcon 2009
I’m lucky enough to have an amazing artist for a brother. The most recent benefit from this is that I got to go to a two day gaming convention called Blizzcon and witness an entirely new world. It was great.
I started out working with a flash, but I eventually decided that Blizzard was trying to create a feel with the the dark atmosphere and a very small amount of bright light sources, so I put my fixed 50mm on and went with it.
The beginning of a beautiful relationship…
Well here’s hoping at least. Ideally I’d like to keep updating this thing, but we’ll see how well that goes over. Here’s what I’ve seen somewhat recently.
This was a display in Gucci store window in San Francisco, California. The lights were obnoxious.
