Fairlane

We went to Vermont for a car show that is held every August there (well...the men went to the show and the women went shopping). There is a show during the day, in the afternoon they parade through the town, and at night there is a block party with cars and 50's & 60's music. This Fairlane was parked next to us at the hotel one evening.

Vermont

I just got back from a short vacation in Vermont. These are from a town called Stowe, it's in the northern part. The views are just incredible.

It's been so hot here recently that late afternoon photos from the deck are all I've mustered. Looking forward to cooler weather next week and taking some film photos for the Photoswap.

Iris

These bearded iris were in bloom the other week in the garden. I love the pattern in their petals and how flowy they look.

Peonies

I rescued these from the rain the other day. I love how soft and delicate their petals are.

A new look + a new website

I've finally finished my design portfolio site and the new look for the blog. Please have a look at the website. If your using a reader, please be sure to come have a look at the blog too.

I haven't been taken many photos recently so these are from Blithewold's greenhouse. I'll be out with the cameras soon though.

hello...

I've been busy working on my portfolio website. I haven't had much time for blogging but I have been thinking about it. I've decided to change this into just a photo blog and put any inspiration pictures I find over on Pinterest. Look for the changes near the end of the month. Until then I'll leave you with these pretty pear blossoms from the tree outside my window.

Photo Friday

Hope you all have a great weekend!
A few touches of spring are starting to peek out here. YEAH!!!! :)

The Maker's Project

Have you seen The Maker's Project, Jennifer Causey's photo project to document the people who make products in her Brooklyn, NY neighborhood. She writes on the website that she knew when she started that she was taking pictures of people who make things but, she soon realized she was taking pictures of people who make things happen. I love this concept and I love seeing how things are still made by hand. The photos above are from Mast Brothers Chocolates series.

These remind me of a photo series I did last summer about two local farms. It's part of a project for the Coventry Regional Farmer's Markets. It was so much fun to see the farms and all the produce they work so hard on growing. Hopefully I will be allowed to share them with you soon.
