oh snarf!

sorry this post has nothing to do with the thundercats....although i wish that it did. it does have to do with the mint show opening. it was amazing and i even sold a couple of pieces. check out some of my photos here: Burnaway Infinity Opening. Notice the photo credit. : ) and can you find mom? i am going to post more of them, and some of my personal night before and the beep beep opening! below is a photo of me next to one of my pieces....

the workers in song

Oh America! I love you and all of your traveling bards! Grace me with your wanderings and let me partake and bask in your musings!

Regina Spektor at the Tabernacle....adorable beyond words. She seriously was a sugar cube with arms and red lips and a crazy insane powerhouse voice.



And the granddaddy of the workers in song....Mr. Leonard Cohen. I can barely describe my experience seeing the master at work, (especially since I thought it would never happen). His voice was/is as capable as ever. Don't let his seventy five earth years fool you, this guy can STILL rock....can STILL capture the attention of a packed out Fox Theatre for THREE HOURS. He did not even need an opening act. He arrived at 8pm sharp just like he promised. I think that I did fall a lot in love with him, all over again. If you have the chance to see him before he gets off this tour, I implore you....it is WORTH it and then some.

Infinity

Tonight, or rather in a few short hours, I will be attending the art opening for the Infinity photo show. It was all put together by JTrav! Though I have not seen it all hung yet, I know that he has done such a great job and spent so much time putting this show together. Check out his website: J Trav.

And more details about the show here:

I will be covering the show for Burnaway, which means I will have some photos of the opening to post up sooner or later! Hopefully sooner, rather then later....all depends on the workload this week.

Le Flash

Last week Jessica and I went to Le Flash, an art extravaganza that took over Castleberry Hill and began the Atlanta Celebrates Photography month, and covered it for burnaway. The love of night photography has always been incubating in my little heart. And this event let me get some of my affection out into the open. Castleberry Hill was over run with projection, and lights, and art projects in every nook and cranny. There were so many pieces that Jessica and I, eventhough we were there for two hours, were not able to see and capture everything. Below is a mix of what we shot.

And here is the post on burnaway, where you can see many many more!

kickin' it

So, as we all know, I am a blondie. Here is how I have taken to styling my hair....very marilyn monroe inspired. Got to love the dress....one of my thrift store treasures. It is as fabulous as it seems. : p



Yesterday, I joined Sunni and some of her buddies for a picnic in Grant Park. It was a great way to usher in autumn. We had beer, fried chicken, hummus, macaroons, and mini red velvet cupcakes!




Ian striking a pose for me! How sexy sassy fresh is he?


Love. love. love. Sunni bunni and her metallic blue 1993 Braves hat!

almost first week of fall

When I first realized that summer this year was going to end, I was a bit frustrated about it. I did not want to be done with the long days, the fruit, the sundresses, and kicking it with all my friends! I did not feel like welcoming sweaters and pumpkins and browns and leaves falling. This week however has shown me that it is alright to leave the summer nights behind, as fall is also quite charming and has much to show me.

I went to the Gwinnett County Fair twice this week (thank you for making me go Andy). I ate fried snickers, hotdogs, and french fries, got to see farm animals, and even pet some of them at the 4H petting zoo (that is where the chickies and duckies were.) The 4H tent also had baby piggies, a donkey, two calves, and bunnies! I rode the ferris wheel, which with my fear of heights was a bit unsettling at first, but once we started moving I enjoyed the view. The best/saddest part was the freak show. The paintings that they had on the outside of the tent were breathtaking. As good as any museum if you ask me. The inside and all those sad little artificats on display broke my heart. They do not deserve to be gawked at in a smelly tent. Shouldn't the two headed monkey and largest mummy in the world be at a Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum somewhere? There were a few live artifacts, one two faced cow, a minature pony, siamese twin turtles, and a salamander with five legs. The cow and pony wouldn't turn around. They were sick of human eyes, and I don't blame them one bit! Let the freaky livestock run free!!!






Me with my two loves!! (the 40D and me wee Holga). All these photos were taken on my iPhone. I also was able to get a bunch of high quality images, and I am super hoping that the Holga ones are fantastic!





Last night I had intended on working all night, but in the early afternoon got a phone call from my mom. She and my dad were on their way to Athens to go to the football game. Not many people know this about me, but I enjoy watching UGA football, and only UGA. The dawgs are my now-not-so-secret guilty pleasure. I decided to tag-a-long with and try my luck at scoring a ticket. As you can see lady luck was kind and I not only got a ticket but was given one for free!! GO DAWGS!!!





And....in honor of fall time, I decided I should change my leaves as well.

aint no bed of roses....aint no....
