I just realized I haven't updated the blog in eight months. So in February, Josh and I got engaged! We spent the following six months frantically trying to pull together a cute southernish vintagey (legit adjectives btw) wedding with killer-awesome food (priorities). And now that we are actually married, and back from our amazing honeymoon adventure in Seattle, I guess now you could say that I have time to dabble more in the internets. So I'm going to take a second and brag on OUR photographer, <a href="http://www.skiphopkins.com">Skip Hopkins.</a> We were SO happy with the photos!! To see more, check out his blog.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2540/3923562974_efb9fd126a.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2540/3923562974_efb9fd126a.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /> <br />And now a few from Seattle...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2591/3887588218_6baa8280bf_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 229px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2591/3887588218_6baa8280bf_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />We stayed first at this cute hotel called the Moore Hotel, on 2nd Ave. It used to be super swank in the 30's or 40's- so lovely! If you ever go to Seattle, look them up. It's definitely cheaper than chain hotels in downtown Seattle. Plus, great view.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2670/3886794131_5926655273.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 334px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2670/3886794131_5926655273.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />After a day or two in Seattle, we took a ferry to Bremerton where friends of Josh met us, and let us stay at a cabin on their property in the woods! They have a whole farm that is almost completely self-sustaining. So inspiring. They gave us a sprouting kit for a wedding present also which we have taken full advantage of!! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2537/3887579612_e79c7da573_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 229px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2537/3887579612_e79c7da573_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3886773955_c28fdcb139.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 334px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3886773955_c28fdcb139.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Ah we had so much fun the whole trip. The weather was perfect and there are NO mosquitoes in all of Washington. Also, blackberries grow wild everywhere there, and they were in season. OOh! And Cherries are only 2 bucks a pound! (As opposed to $8 here in Nashy).<br />It's good to be back home though. And marriage is so fun so far. Just a relief to live every day with the best friend of your life. :)Sarah Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10933837589004897193noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376790139529139427.post-51696095731039649532009-01-19T13:25:00.002-05:002009-01-19T13:51:32.711-05:00Home.<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/3210464742/" title="Rolls by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3490/3210464742_1f5a252f8d.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Rolls" /></a></div><br /><br />This morning I woke up at 6:30 as I have been for the past few days, despite crawling into bed around 12 or 1 each night. Each night I've been desperately tired, begging my body to just sleep like it's supposed to and that I'll wake up around 8 or 8:30, well rested. So this morning, I just laid there for like three hours, getting more and more bitter at the world, because obviously how could this be my own fault? I finally decided to get up and shuffle into the kitchen to find something to eat, and as I walked through the curtains, when I saw... SNOW! Snow! Snow... in my backyard! (It rarely snows in Nashville..) So I took advantage of this lovely peaceful morning (trying not to think about having to work tonight) and made cinnamon rolls and a pot of coffee, and cleaned the kitchen. Good morning.<br /><br />So... new blog banner for a new year. I took this photo this morning because lately I've been thinking alot about life, I suppose about just life in general. This tends to happen after I watch Elizabethtown (or most any Cameron Crowe film.. the man is genius). I have a bad habit of questioning everything. Why can't I just have faith, or take things for what they are? Why is this so hard for me, normal people can go through life without doubting or questioning, why can't I be one of those people? I'm even questioning why I can't be one of those people who doesn't question. But when I start doubting I feel like everything, every relationship and purpose to job, to future, to life, everything is ripped from its ground and shaken violently, and then eventually put back where it belongs. And by the time the dust settles, it's time to do it all over again. I suppose you could call it a kind of restlessness, or a horrible trend of discontent. I wonder sometimes if I'll ever settle down in one place, or keep just one job for years, or if I'll ever be given a "calling" as so many other Christians get but maybe I just don't. I feel alone a lot lately. I don't even want to do photography right now. I don't know what I want to do. Maybe I won't know until it's there. Maybe something will click in my life some day. <br /><br /><div aling="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/3210447784/" title="Home. by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3121/3210447784_d0c1e3e59c.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Home." /></a></div><br /><br />I've moved around several times since graduating high school, and attended four different colleges in four different states before finally attaining an associates degree in photography. And now I live in Nashville and work at a coffee shop doing nothing I ever studied in all of my four colleges and six years of education. A year or two ago as I was leaving Little Rock, one of my good friends, Lakey, gave me a treasure- a mermaid drawing by her 8 year old daughter Mia, which she put on wood. She gave this to me and said that every new place I moved to, I could hang it on my wall and it would be my home. And I have hung it or put it somewhere visible, in every place I've lived since. I love it. It marks where my home is. And for now, Nashville is my home, our Forrest Avenue House is my home, the Frothy Monkey is my home, the Anchor is my home. I have questions but I think if I didn't have questions, how else would the Lord teach me faith? or Patience? or Trust? <br /><br />Keep me in your prayers if you think of me. It's just a difficult season but spring is close.Sarah Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10933837589004897193noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376790139529139427.post-56914418741815786222009-01-03T08:53:00.002-05:002009-01-03T08:58:30.448-05:00Happppppppy New Year!<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/3157184178/" title="Happy New Yearssss!!! by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/3157184178_aafc31cd38.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Happy New Yearssss!!!" /></a><br />Orangitango!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/3156351839/" title="Fly Golden Eagle by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3264/3156351839_0467539676.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Fly Golden Eagle" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/3157174946/" title="String by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3263/3157174946_95f36fc698.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="String" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/3157172366/" title="After The Party by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3208/3157172366_3041cfe82e.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="After The Party" /></a></div><br /><br />Hope everyone had a fantastic New Years Eve!!

I love that the air is cool at night and even if I'm wearing a thermal shirt, a bonfire still feels nice. I love that the coffee shops come alive with new drink options.. the pumpkin spice lattes, the apple ciders, sprinkling nutmeg over lattes.. I love the colors that appear on the mundane drive to work and that leaves dance in the road when cars drive by. Suddenly the rain seems more magical. I like starting to wear warm hats.. I like that the acorns even wear caps in the fall! Has anybody carved pumpkins yet? Just curious. <br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2930061582/" title="autumn is here! by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3037/2930061582_0cd34d8b31.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="autumn is here!" /></a></div>Sarah Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10933837589004897193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376790139529139427.post-21191854970248108322008-09-24T22:10:00.002-04:002008-09-24T22:18:43.668-04:00Community.This is our community life... meet the fam... <br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2854718960/" title="brandi jean and the polaroid by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2020/2854718960_945653ce92.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="brandi jean and the polaroid" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2856171389/" title="IMG_4277 by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/2856171389_f7119dc6a9.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="IMG_4277" /></a><br />(2nd photo by Jesse Kevon)<br /><br /><br />And Then, Brandi made the best face of all time.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2856939740/" title="BEST FACE EVER by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3232/2856939740_a520d77ce0.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="BEST FACE EVER" /></a><br />(this one's by Casey McBride)<br /><br /><br />Community Breakfast<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2856135697/" title="community breakfast by neta by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3281/2856135697_d141d06590.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="community breakfast by neta" /></a><br /><br />Family...<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2856172413/" title="session! by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3022/2856172413_9d21246c3e.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="session!" /></a></div>Sarah Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10933837589004897193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376790139529139427.post-2241228724523887402008-08-21T11:15:00.002-04:002008-08-21T11:22:11.268-04:00My Man Smokes A Pipe<div align="center"><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2784481268/" title="pipe by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3033/2784481268_50aa49729e.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="pipe" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2784481258/" title="smoke by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3107/2784481258_03d103fe08.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="smoke" /></a><br /><br />And I like it.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Sarah Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10933837589004897193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376790139529139427.post-16538607525185663932008-08-18T09:22:00.002-04:002008-08-18T09:27:30.040-04:00Ladies, Ladies..Our tiny, yet to be named collective set out on Saturday afternoon for our second fashion shoot- Nichole Lim doing hair and Sara Burgers doing makeup and styling.

This happened to be one of those- My friend Mark called me up and twisted my arm a little, and somehow he got me to agree to shooting their wedding- I don't even know how. He probably does magic on the side. But I'm so glad I did get to be a part of Mark and Brandy's wedding-- they are such a unique and sincere couple, I didn't even feel like it was work at all (which is HUGE). So who knows, maybe I'll be getting back into doing weddings, but for now, here are some of my favorites from the day!<br /><br /><div align="center"><br />The Ladies<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2752638571/" title="A Preview! by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3204/2752638571_27638ea9e5.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="A Preview!" /></a><br /><br />The Menfolk<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2753832496/" title="Groomsmen by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3067/2753832496_56fcb30158.jpg" width="329" height="500" alt="Groomsmen" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2752631719/" title="Hitched by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3230/2752631719_a38299b509.jpg" width="309" height="500" alt="Hitched" /></a><br /><br />The Faces<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2753002979/" title="Pretty Much by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3048/2753002979_e6b614b805.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Pretty Much" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2753833204/" title="American Gothic by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3147/2753833204_bcb867b71f.jpg" width="324" height="500" alt="American Gothic" /></a><br /><br />Just Married...

Awww. We all live in East Nashville and we all think the East Nashville bumper stickers are funny. My favorite is the one that says "37206: Over The River and Through The Hood." But I am easily amused. Anyway, we took a few keepers. People in Love are usually easy to photograph... here are some examples.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2704207215/" title="Green by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3053/2704207215_35dce8de11.jpg" alt="Green" height="500" width="333" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2717967782/" title="Verticals by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3158/2717967782_9cc8497956.jpg" alt="Verticals" height="500" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2705030692/" title="Boutique by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3208/2705030692_ac0cef2c53.jpg" alt="Boutique" height="333" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2705030782/" title="Jesse & Julia by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3279/2705030782_ee5ff5d935.jpg" alt="Jesse & Julia" height="500" width="333" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2705030304/" title="Then They Got High by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3161/2705030304_9a8b72a08b.jpg" alt="Then They Got High" height="500" width="321" /></a></div>Sarah Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10933837589004897193noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376790139529139427.post-9207554345342137302008-07-13T22:33:00.002-04:002008-07-13T22:53:40.878-04:00When it Rains... I SoarFiguratively and literally...<br /><br />For some reason Rainy Days just whip my creativity into a busy frenzy and I start getting ideas. First of all, I've been wanting to do a self-portrait for awhile now; secondly, I've been wanting to try out this lighting situation I've had in my mind for at least two days- just using my reflector and super-sweet reflector holder with a flash in an indoor setting. This morning I was the only one home or awake so this is what I did as the rain came down...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2665618138/" title="I've been working on my vertical by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/2665618138_3a6c4d2881.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="I've been working on my vertical" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2665617420/" title="Red by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3224/2665617420_8ee9c141cd.jpg" width="500" height="417" alt="Red" /></a><br /><br />Also, this is the first camera I ever owned. I remember the first pictures I took on this so vividly... being in fifth grade at summer camp, thinking a certain few boys were super cute... and now having an old shoe box full of 110 film pictures of boys at summer camp who I don't even remember, and maybe one or two of my camp counsellor. Ah those were the days. And now it sits on my window sill. Roots, man...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2664795131/" title="First Camera by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3192/2664795131_d55f49fe88.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="First Camera" /></a><br /><br /><br />That's about it. I was thinking today that it might be fun if some of us photographers (especially RCC girls??) started a joint blog and took turns giving out a weekly assignment? And then we could all post our creative genius.. Anyone interested in that? <br />That's all for now. I love my church. <a href="http://www.theanchorfellowship.com/">The Anchor</a>!

Even right as we were walking out the door at 7am to shoot, she was munching on a twizzler, so I grabbed a bag and we incorporated them into these shots.<br /><br />These were taken under the Broadway Bridge in North Little Rock.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2594074652/" title="Lights Descending by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3038/2594074652_a40c9a47e5.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Lights Descending" /></a><br /><br />This from the "ethereal goddess" series..<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2594077626/" title="Fierce by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3213/2594077626_2729072e31.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Fierce" /></a><br /><br />If you have a photoblog leave me a comment with a link!

I, being in love with their music, and never having seen them play live, and also having nothing to do on Thursday, of course decided that I should go.<br /><br />I didn't realize how far away Kansas City actually is, because I never was good at geography, and I also didn't think about the time constraints upon us. Not that I regret going, and not that their performance didn't make it worthwhile, but driving over night two nights in a row with minimal sleep with five people crammed into a compact car does tend to make things miserable. I am still out of it mentally even though I slept for fifteen hours last night. However... the show was the best performance I've seen in my entire life.. I wasn't allowed to bring my camera in. The point and shoot cameras were allowed in, so you can <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=sigur%20ros%20uptown%20theater%20june%20kansas%20city&w=all">click here</a> to see other people's pictures. These are some photos from sitting in line for 4.5 hours, and it is good that we got there that early! <br /><br /><br />This is the last shot I got before security shut me down.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2578238420/" title="The Buck Stops here by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3055/2578238420_f2b8cf419c.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="The Buck Stops here" /></a><br /><br />The kind Red Bull people were giving away their drinks for free- they even had sugar free ones! Here Philip and Ryan enjoy the Red Bull generosity.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2578243686/" title="Free Red Bulls by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3036/2578243686_6e9433d798.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Free Red Bulls" /></a><br /><br />Playing Cards with new friends..<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2578253776/" title="Cards! by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3014/2578253776_e2e6fb724a.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Cards!" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2578255626/" title="Waiting for Sigur Ros... by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2275/2578255626_5c4a67635f.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Waiting for Sigur Ros..." /></a><br /><br />This is Julie! We became friends while waiting in line. After the show, Julie invited our group back to her apartment to take showers and freshen up before our journey back home! She also made for us some delicious coffee which probably saved our lives...<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2577401751/" title="Julie by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3117/2577401751_31df489748.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Julie" /></a><br /><br />So that is all, very sorry about having no pictures of the actual performance, but I think it was a good thing for me at least.. when you love taking pictures it takes away from being able to absorb in the actual moment, and I am so glad I was able to do that. Hope everyone's having a good weekend and don't forget to hug your pops tomorrow!Sarah Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10933837589004897193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376790139529139427.post-2394634006707029172008-05-25T23:41:00.002-04:002008-05-25T23:46:31.206-04:00Every DinerHas this poster framed on the wall, I've noticed.<br />You know, the one that has James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and other classic dead megastars hanging out at a bar around a pool table. And it says <br />Boulevard of Broken Dreams<br />Sadly there is a Green Day song by the same name- try very hard to not sing it to yourself in your head. <br />Pretty much impossible. <br />Just make yourself move on though and think to yourself<br />How odd it is for this picture to be hanging in every sketch diner across America.<br />And now that you think about this<br />Next time you go into a Greasy Spoon<br />And you see this picture<br />You'll know that I am right.

Just your average Lone-Star Day. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2457069941/" title="texan on the range by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2265/2457069941_dcbd44661a.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="texan on the range" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2494204574/" title="IMG_7030edit.jpg by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2232/2494204574_6fff30f8d6.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="IMG_7030edit.jpg" /></a><br />Trying to find not-harvested cotton.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2457899752/" title="texan + texan sunset by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3187/2457899752_9298a74112.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="texan + texan sunset" /></a><br />My beauty of a sister, and what is left of a tumbleweed.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahholmesphoto/2493384199/" title="IMG_7054edit.jpg by sarah the sunshine state, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3150/2493384199_531cbe13a9.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="IMG_7054edit.jpg" /></a><br /><br />This is what our clothes are made out of. <br />From a brown plant that grows out of the ground and grows white fuzzy stuff in tiny pods. And someone decided to clean it off and make clothing with the pod fluff. <br />Wow. I didn't clean off the dirt though. I like the earth on it. <br /><br />So that's a brief summary of our Texan adventures, the rest really aren't as entertaining or picturesque although it was so good to be with family!

These photos have not until today been seen by other human eyes except for mine. And maybe a few others.

But sometimes I feel like animals like to pose for me. I should do an entire animal portrait post some day when my demographic finally levels around females ages 6 to 12.<br />While shooting at the Little Rock Zoo for an ad campaign, a curious giraffe wandered over while we shot in the rhinocerous area. because the walls that separated the spaces were pretty short, the giraffe came and essentially stood right over me.
