Started this side-blog, which is now my fulltime-blog, as a place to intentionally think about the things most important to me and then write about them or capture them in images.
I am passionate about all of the following, in no particular order: cooking, adoption, health (yours and mine), family, picture taking, sustainability (of all kinds), travel, my son (okay this one should be first), clean water (for all), music, doing good, and doing better.
I love sunshine, dirty jokes (hearing them, not telling them-- i'm a lady!), take-out food, red wine, random trivia, coffee, perfectly-placed expletives, and Rick Bayless.
The goal is to post frequently and document life in images with greater purpose . Also to get {NICE!} feedback on my photos. I am not, and have never claimed to be, a photographer. I'm a novice, but I want to learn oh-so-much more. Kind, constructive criticism only, please.
My camera is a Sony A33 DSLR. I know, I know.. you are probably cringing at that you Nikon/Canon-loving-crazy-person. But I like my camera, I really do! I am still shooting with the kit lens, and when I get a windfall soon, I'm going to buy a new lens.
Yes, I am one of those people that believes I will win the lottery without ever having played it. You should probably know that about me, too.
