Coming Soon:

Wonderful things.

In the mean time think about this little ruby:

The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life.
It provides human beings with a sense of destination
and the energy to get started.
{Norman Cousins}

Cock-a-doodle-frickin'-doo!!

Meet Leo. Again.

There are very few blogs that I visit often. I limit my "blog stalking"--just so you know I HATE that term, LOATHE that term, and in fact, I gagged a bit when I typed it, but there just isn't another term as fitting. INVENT ONE PLEASE! SOMEONE!!!--wait, where was I. . . Oh yes. I limit my (gag) "blog stalking" only to those blogs that TRULY inspire. Leo's is one that I subscribe to and visit often, and today, I want to share it with you.

See Leo.

See Leo run . . .



and run. . .
and run!






Go! Check him out. Be inspired by hanging out on his blog for a while. Finding inspiration in other photographers around you is one of the best things you can do for your craft.

Subscribe to Leo's blog here. . . oh and mine. . . here. :)

Oh and PS. This post . . . well it was TOTALLY unsolicited. I really just dig Leo's work. Plain and Simple.

How can this not make you smile?

Found on Twitter today with the caption:

Twitter is over capacity.

Too many tweets! We'll try to lighten the load
and have things back to normal soon.

Not following me on Twitter?
Well, why on Earth not?
Off you go.

Jessica, Jessica, Jessica.

Jessica Claire has gone and done it again. I tell you people. The way this woman sees light is RIGHT off the chart.

Today I Love:

In my humble opinion, every mother deserves a shot of each of her children that resembles, in some way or another, this lovely shot from Three Little Birds Photography.

Today I Love: North Dakota. Yup, Seriously.

Thank you to Congressman Earl Pomeroy for the stunning image. I kid you not.

So my analytics will show me a map of the world and where all you lovely souls who stop by for an occasional visit come from. . . not like Google maps down to your driveway or anything, but the general geographic location. For a sad lonely while now, North Dakota has been the solitary state in the United States that has remained unoccupied by the lovely orange dots that represent visitors. It didn't matter that all my lovely friends come from all over the globe. . . for example:

Quite a few people come from Egypt. That should be pretty satisfying. North Dakota, you've been ruining that for me. I have quite the following in the UK and France. North Dakota, you've been spoiling that for me as well. I even had a visit the other day from a country called Oman. North Dakota, you reigned on my parade yet AGAIN.

Well my little dears, I am sad and lonely no longer! A few days ago not one, no no no but two people from opposite sides of the state came by for a visit. I won't mention that they stayed on the site for only 1 or 2 seconds, the important thing is that they came. Now Heaven's name be praised, that state no longer BLARES at me from the computer screen whenever I check my analytics. So North Dakota, today, I love you, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

I LOVE NORTH DAKOTA!

Today I Love:

Today I love this. So much. I found it on my new favorite blog, Skinny Link.

Skinny as in: the 411, the down low, the haps.

Link as in: "click the link," but also the author's last name just happens to be Link.

Skinny Link: I for one think the name is brilliant.

And yes, the author is my mom, the wonderfully wonderful Annie Link. And yes, I named the blog (thus my uncommon affection for the title). And NO, I'm not nearly as wonderful as she is. She took all the creativity, good looks and DEFINITELY all the smarts, and left the craps for me.

Today I Love:

Joel Serrato Films. I've been dying to get a Super 8 film system ever since my conversation with Leo in March.
