For all my blog stalking photographer friends! I bought this shirt today, it's available TODAY ONLY at Tee Fury
It's kinda dorky, which is why I like it all the more.

Random Photos That I love
Today my oldest Caleb brought home two things from school to look over. Drivers Education Forms and the forms to order a Class Ring. I don't know why these two things suddenly hit home for me; maybe because I remember the delicious anticipation of getting my class ring like it was yesterday. And that I got my drivers license on Groundhogs Day 1983. Suddenly, it just all seemed real to me, that he is growing up. Growing up...heh..that's pretty funny seeing that he is 6'3.
I suddenly found myself thinking of this photo. It was taken on Caleb's first day of second grade and Joey's first day of 4K. This photo was hand printed by me in photo school on delicious black and white fiber paper and I love it so. I love everything about it because of all the things I remember so well about their childhoods...Caleb's obsession with Lion King, Joey and his Hot Wheels addiction, the Buzz Lightyear lunch box, the totally cute wedge hair cuts that someday they will hate me for, how they used to be tow heads and how Caleb has his arm slung protectively around his little brother.
They really do grow up in a freaking blink of an eye. But when I look at this photo I remember so much about them at this age. This, my friends, is the beauty of a photograph.

Random things that I love
I've blogged before of my love of etsy a place where artist can sell handmade items. It's the first place I go when I am looking for a gift. One of my favorite things is jewelry. I tend to love the bizzare and obscure, and when I travel instead of buying t shirts I buy a piece of jewelry from a local artist.
While browsing around I found these adorable, very affordable Scrabble Tile Pendants by Homestudio . I got the camera one to wear when I shoot, the flowers just cuz I tend to think of myself as a displaced 70's hippy, and the poppy one for my friend Poppy who collects, well, poppy things! I'm planning on buying a bunch for friends and using them to attach to holiday gifts.
