From Me to You's Memories of London
This is the first photography blog I ever followed and nearly every post continues to inspire me.
I could never afford to shoot much with film; certainly not enough to get any good. Perhaps, once I’ve built up my skills/confidence a bit more, I’ll want to get the old Pentax out and buy some black and white film. This post exemplifies exactly the kind of feel I aspire to in most of...

.:where we were:. | Indiana, Pennsylvania
There’s not much to say. We got there late because we stayed in Harrisonburg, Virginia for a couple days beforehand.
It was cold.
I bought beer.
The End.

find me on the Book of Face →
The creation of a Miss Minty Fresh page on the Book of Face is solely to prevent spamming my friends with updates about new posts (since I’ve been trying to post something every day lately). If you utilize Facebook to keep up with people and things do consider following along. I’ll mostly be using it to share new posts.

a little adventure and a stop in Philly
Kai and I are traveling on our own this weekend. I’ll tell you more in a couple days. ;)
We’ve spent this past week at my parents’ house in the Lehigh Valley and visiting friends in Philadelphia. The time we spend never feels sufficiently satisfying, and between the baby and my work, this visit has felt particularly harried. I did manage to shoot quite a few pictures, and...

social media manners
Becka’s blog is a daily read for me, and she posted a little interview a while ago that had such a gem contained within it that it deserved its own post.
Danielle LaPorte and her take on social media manners…behold the pithy genius of this:
LAAA | I really admire the way you are able to be genuine on your blog. As a blogging, female wedding photographer sometimes I feel the pressure...

New Feature Time!
This is the plan, readers…each week I’m going to tell you about the town we just vacated. If we found some great eats or pretty things you’ll hear about them here. Perhaps these posts will inform a leisurely road trip or make some business travel more interesting. Or maybe I’ll add to your armchair travel via the blogosphere (which is, by the way, a...

watercolors and hiking
I’m so inspired by this new blog that I recently stumbled across. Kolby has recently done some impressive long hikes (like the Pacific Crest Trail, or PCT). He makes me feel motivated to get out and find some day hike trails each week.
I’m most impressed by the journals that he keeps, though. His artwork is beautiful:
He even shared a DIY project for how to put together a...

I contributed some thoughts for Mr. Bobby’s series on “Love and Swing”. It’s a great series!

places to go →
I have a Pinterest board that’s all about places I’ve never been.
It just occurred to me that nearly every pin is of woods and/or water in some form. Living in the city for five years made me dislike the suburbs, but it did make me long for far more naturalistic places, like beaches and woods. Our lifestyle will make it difficult to visit a spot that isn’t directly on the way...

taming your picky eater's pickiness →
Parentfriends (or baby stalkers), do you read Offbeat Mama? You should. It’s full of good stuff to do and try that I’d never think of myself.

RV tour!
Like any owned space, our RV is a constant work-in-progress. This is the first time in my adult life that I’m not renting my space, and it’s thrilling to demolish and tinker to my heart’s content. What I’m showing you today is a collection of pictures I’ve taken over the winter and early spring - we’ve made no major overhauls so far but have big plans...

blogging is play-work (continued)
I didn’t get any good shots of the lightning, so here’s a shot of the moon from earlier in the evening, instead:
I’ll be back soon.

blogging is play-work
I’ve been quiet around here lately, mostly because my recent posts on giving birth and feeling fat have kind of taken the wind out of my sails. I have lots to say but am still trying to get into something of a schedule and routine. It’s proven to be quite difficult so far; any moment that I don’t have Kai in front of me I feel I should be doing work-work, not play-work (which...
