Anniversary Weekend ~ Part Dos
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you start a Saturday morning. We found this great little place, walking distance from the hotel called District 7 GrillĀ and it was delicious, so delicious that we went there the next morning for breakfast too! It kinda looks like they took an old train car and made it…

Bill and I just had our second anniversary and since we never really went on a honey moon and we didn’t do much for our first anniversary (we had just purchased a house) we decided to do it big without braking the bank. Got a hotel downtown, took only public transportation (which I had never…

Also on our mini one day vaca to Galveston we visited The Strand, which is also one of my favorite places. Think an old New Orleans style look with the cobblestone streets and such, they even have their own Marti Gras. There are lots of fun shops, and restaurants and a really great old candy/soda…

Last weekend some good friends of ours came down from Oklahoma to visit. We spent one day at the beach, one of my favorite places on the planet. We walked out onto one of the jetties and there were two men down there fishing. Bethia and Joel are so great and have promised to come…

I started out telling you all about the Cook Off which kicks off the month long Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo. Be still my heart. Seriously, I’m a city girl grew up in the inners of Houston, I never rode a horse to school, nor have I ever worn chaps, but even still I…
Read MoreThe Photography Chronicles ~ 13
And in contrast of last weeks Photography Chronicles (and for all of those living in the wintery north), a little warmth. This was taken on a private island in the Bahamas in October of 2009. It was absolutely breath taking. I had no idea that these kinds of places actually existed. I just thought all…

Winter in Buffalo, NY is cold and white. This is Niagara Falls, very cold, very icy, with a rickety fence to keep you from sliding under the metal railing and cascading down into the falls. This is one of my favorite times to see the falls, there are few tourists and there is something about…

In a few short days I will be at Imaging USA 2011, the mecca conference for photographers. Above is my good, dear friend Andrea from Ethan Avery Photography, we braved last year’s Imaging USA in Nashville together. Boy was it cold…that was when they had that big freeze and the water main broke down town……
Read MoreBuffalo, NY In A Flash
I left at 8:35 on a Sunday morning, spent an hour or so in Atlanta… jumped on another plane and arrived in Buffalo at 3:30pm and went straight to the wake. Day two was the funeral. Day three I flew back home. A flash, I feel, is a very good description of this experience. There…

My father in law asked me to shoot a few photos of him for his website. Here is what we ended up with… James has a fantastic laugh that is contagious, I think this is my favorite picture because it really captures that joy. Ok, so this is not my father in law, this is…
