about me
Welcome to my blog, my name is Lindsey aka modchik. A former Operations Manager with a strong desire to CREATE. In 2009 I decided my 9-5 job wasn't working for me (or my two kids). I traded my calculator for a camera and began building a blog. By the end of 2010 modchik-photography happened. I have a penchant for good recipes, strong coffee, iPhoneography, mid-century modernism, fashion trends, astrology and Pinterest. I get to talk about all of that here. I promise you'll never be bored.

How many times are you going to get the opportunity to see the inner sanctum of a children’s hospital with a camera … Continue reading

I grabbed my camera, photo of Ronne and my SPF 100 and headed out to Fashion Island, a beautiful outdoor mall by just a few miles from the beach. side note: my dad worked for one of the two architects … Continue reading
Feel Your Boobies
Did I get your attention with the word boobies? Good. We all need a reminder once and awhile. Â One thing that happens to all of us when we are busy is we forget to do things like… go to your daughter’s open house (yep I missed this one), pay the AMEX bill (yep this too), tell your husband the IRS agents visit was rescheduled (guilty) and other things that can be life changing like feeling your boobies. I had planned … Continue reading
Larry the Whale – a Tale of Paddle Boarding
A lot of my friends are taking up the sport of paddle boarding! In fact my sister was just telling me about her girlfriends birthday where they paddled around Dana Point Harbor and then celebrated with champagne on the beach! Working the booty and bubbly I love it! Ellen just tweeted this video today and I had to share because it is such a wonderful story! Jodie was paddle boarding from Catalina to the coast of California in an effort to raise … Continue reading
