Last week I talked about my newly rekindled love for film, roll film. I take Polaroids all the time, that’s a given, but what I haven’t explored is 120, medium format. How do I explain medium format to my non photog friends? It has to with with image sensors and size of the film. Basically…
Life In Session
he’s a senior // week 36
Well the time is here, our last First Day of School photo for our oldest. I didn’t think it would be here so fast. I’m not going to write today about how I feel about this moment although I am reading plenty of other great pieces about what’s next including Two words of advice for college freshman….
Fresh Air // Week 35
Back to school shopping. I’m not doing it right. She has abandoned the uniform officially. Ugh. This is a battle I do not want to fight so I don’t. I do however limit the amount of sparkle on clothes worn in lieu of polos and khakis. If you are a mom to a daughter between…
Reentry // Week 34
A much shorter version of the weekly recap coming right up. You know those days following vacation where your body arrived but your mind took a later flight? That. As I cruised down the aisle of Costco I noticed lobster all neatly stacked next to the snow crab. Too soon? I had a dish last…
Rockport // Week 33
A little back story about the trip I made this week, file it under things you didn’t know about me. I was born in the late 60’s, my dad a Naval officer based out of Newport, RI, my mom a school teacher born and raised in Plymouth, MA. When I was eight months old my…
LGB to BOS // Week 32
I know I’m tired when I find myself staring at shiny things for long periods of time. Tuesday afternoon was one of those moments. I’m fried. I just uploaded my budget report, four days overdue, couldn’t log in to my own site, turns out I’ve either broken something or I have an unwelcomed squatter again…
Make It Work // Week 31
I have to wake up before everyone so I can a.) get a little computer time in and b.) make sure the 17 yr. old is up for summer school, he’s taking half a semester over to improve his grade and increase college admission chances, bottom line momma (and dad) don’t accept no Ds. I…
halfway // week 30
So here’s the deal, I’m half way through summer and I am beginning to unravel. I am feeling the pressure of making it work and beginning to think that happiness is just a state of mind, you can find it just about everywhere even in the midst of the my complete summer burn out. My…
Dear Diary // Week 29
I finally finished the kitchen cabinets at the surprise of my other half. He’s just given up on the clutter at this point. I decided to make pasta salad with some of the questionable items from the big pitch and admitedly had to go looking in the trash outside for the artichokes to double check…
Adjustment Bureau //Week 28
Oh how life changes in an instant. One minute you are sitting at a light behind a “loaner” car day reflecting on how lucky you have been with the current one you are in and the next you are watching (in slow motion) the front of a giant black car plow into the back of yours….
