Tumblr

I apologize in advance for my mini rant, and for my short absence from blogging. I made some changes to my tumblr site, and let me tell you, it has been difficult.  I have been up for hours and hours trying to figure out html code, and tweaking here and there.  Lots of copying and pasting.  As far as layout, I am enjoying my page a whole lot more.  The images are not showing up as large as I would have hoped, but I love the fact that I can add text to them now.  I would love this little site to be the crazy uncle of With You, Today.

I hope to eventually make it a platform for subject interviews!  Also, to showcase the extra photos that I couldn't add to my main site for various reasons.  I was posting inspirational images, but I think I am going to stick to my own work this time.  Unless something truly mesmerizes me, simplicity is key.

My photographer's brain is getting the best of me.  Officially overwhelmed.  Feedback encouraged!

Dish Inspirations

  Today's breakfast was inspired (more like stolen) from the beautiful blog, LA in Bloom.  I think I have to work more on my presentation, but it was the easiest dish to make, and I LOVE easy meal ideas because I can become quite scatter-brained in the kitchen.  I found Heather Taylor's blog site, by looking at THIS blog.  These women have amazing style and great ideas about food, art, dress, life...really inspiring.

 I plan on picnicking with Jeaux this week and am going to steal T H I S.   I already bought figs, and instead of basil, I have mint.  Can't wait!

 More meals to come! xx

Photographic Practices

I recently told someone that I didn't want to be a photographer.  In my heart, I knew that wasn't entirely true.  I'm not certain I can make it my career, but I know that I want to enjoy taking pictures again.  

This was taken as a study for how I want to photograph this house.  I love how the light hits the structure at a certain time, and the soft colors.  That classic brick fire place makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.  I may go back one of these beautiful spring days and capture it again, using film.
