Sushi


You know I'm part Japanese right? Seriously, how else would I have inherited my ninja-like sneaky moves? A half-asian sensation like myself cannot go at least 15 days without a sushi fix. And I had the most amazing sushi dish today at a new place we found. It was so good I had to take a picture!


ummm......it was so good that I got some to-go and ended up eating it later on that night. see below picture for fatty me eating sushi at 12 pm.


San Fran


Just found this picture from when I was in San Francisco this past May for a psychology conference that our work was in. Yes, a friend drove us ALL around the city so we could do the tourist-y thing. Found this little guy over there, and he was super thrilled to be there with us...he begged me to take this picture ;)



Here's a video that I stole from Sara's page from when we went to Muir beach overlook. I could have sat on that cliffside all day. Think I'll be taking another trip out this way this summer after we see Yellowstone!







Free time



First day I've had completely to myself in a really long time. I've been working so much lately, I feel like I can actually think about some of the important things that I've been pushing to the side. Aaaaaannd my usual weekly self-pampering routine was long due....so one hair mask, and facial scrub, and a pilates workout later, here I am....sitting on my mac, browsing ebay for camera deals, watching Sunny, and sipping herbal tea. g'day.

A project I started in the summer and never finished. I think I just grew sick of watching the same edits over and over again. I had to freeze each individual frame before putting it all together. I'll think twice next time about stop-motion film. Giving it a rest until spring...the song is "this is the thing" by fink

i dream balloons

Finnnally, I decided to post the video from the balloon shoot! I had so much extra video footage, and it'd be a waste not to pair it with some Sigur Ros

balloon photoshoot


photos from the balloon sessions. I had a huge bag of balloons sitting in the basement and it just happened to be one of the last nice days of the year.....so we drove to this farmer's field out in Hershey and had a blast running around and taking pictures. I really like how these two turned out, especially with the silhouettes and fisheye lens :)
