PERSPECTIVE

I found these amazing photos on notcot.org of someone's flight from Salt Lake to Los Angeles. These are breath taking. I love how the snow covered mountains bleed into the flat plains and valleys.

As K.Pizzle stated in a previous post, we have been going through old photos and footage of yester year. Among such was the following footage. Enjoi.

NEW YORK WEARING YOU DOWN?

I spotted this poor soul asleep on his donut while walking to work. My first thought was "HA, look at this guy!?" Then as I walked away my smile faded. I realized I did not have a donut or the option for more sleep... Dang it! This guy had what I wanted, I am the sucker! Rushing to work with no breakfast. Sleep on guy, and sweetest of dreams. I salute you.

I MISS THE COLORS

I was going through some of our photos over the past few months. I was able to go home in the fall this past year for the first time in almost 5 years. It's such a beautiful palette. There is something about the crisp cool air, the smell of apple season setting in, and the sun's warmth on your skin. I love the fall!

Chinatown post op

This is some video I shot with my phone of Kelly's first venture back to the city, post operation. Which in hind sight wasn't the best of ideas. But how can you argue with someone who is cute and wounded with cabin fever.

Michael Johansson

I recently discovered Michael Johansson's work via a friend. I love the colors, objects, and use of the mundane and everyday. There is something great about working with what is around you. Organized and arranged in a way the outcome is beautiful and unexpected. It is interesting to note the separation of the objects original function and form, seen now only for its aesthetic and relationship to its surroundings. Great stuff!

BEAUTIFUL DECAY

The following link is to a beautiful and intriguing series of photographs of albatross chicks. These nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their unknowing parents. To view the complete collection click here. I really love the contrast of natural and artificial color, synthetic vs organic etc. enjoi.

LIGHTING STRIKES

This past week we have been through some of the hardest times of our lives. After a procedure gone bad, I had to be rushed to the ER for an emergency surgery due to abdominal pain and fainting. After this big hill had been been climbed I immediately had to climb a mountain. Due to complications with the surgery I was feeling worse not better, they called for a cat scan, the results lead to another emergency operation. Looking back on the second surgery I can honestly say that the surgeon saved my life (and took a piece of me with him). It has been and is going to be a long and hard process. All of the medical professionals have left us with many unanswered questions, telling us that "You were just struck by lighting 3 days in a row." Not wanting to put anyone or anything at fault. I arrived to the comforts of my own home last night after two surgery's and a procedure in a pare tree. My parents are here to care for me and help out. It has been such a blessing to have them.

Thank you for all of the love, support, phone calls, flowers, e-mails, prayers, good vibes, and kindness. It has left us with overwhelming feelings of gratefulness. We apologize for any delayed responses to any and all concerned, but please know we are grateful and our hearts are full. It is pretty humbling to think of the daily things we are blessed with that were once taken for granted. Such as being able to walk on your own, lift your own body and parts at your own will, being able to just take good deep breath, eating, even going #1 and #2's by yourself. It will be a slow road to recovery, but I feel as though I am on the up and up's.

PUMP THE JAM

Last month when I was home visiting, my mom had peaches upon peaches coming out of her ears from our family trees. So everyday she had the challenge of making something involving peaches before they started to go bad; peach fritters, peach pie, peach zuchinni bread, and my favorite peach rosemary lime jam. If anyone knows my mom they can attest to her excellent cooking skills. It was so much fun to get to cook with her, on top of all the delicious taste testing.



I threw in these tomato pictures just because they are awesome. My parent's backyard is full of these beautiful heirloom tomatoes. I love the colors and variety. Picture Perfect, Em Em Delicious!
