PHOTOgraphy

I have developed a strong interest in photography over the years and now make a point to bring a camera with me wherever I go. You never know what you're going to see. Sometimes people just need to open their eyes a bit....(put down the technology)... and observe the "stuff" that surrounds us. Sounds cliche...but you know what I mean.

So I am getting inspired by light, fun art and came across Erin Hanson. Her Reminders photo album is pretty fantastic. Check it out.

Wedding

Amanda Archer just featured my bridesmaids and I on her blog! Her beautiful dresses were perfect for my ladies and the olive green looked gorgeous with their purple bouquets. Who doesn't like a bridesmaid dress with pockets?

How could an iPhone change the world?

I asked this question to my 4th graders and they came up with the best ideas. Since the iPhone has consumed our culture, their task was to create apps for the iPhone that would change the world for the better.

Featured Apps:

Doodle (for everlasting art)

Bus (because 4th graders need to catch a bus)

Donate Food (to help others contribute)

Tree Growing (to promote a greener environment)

make new Art, but keep the old
