it is time of another almost friday flickr favorite. this week it is svane.
all her photos are simply named . and they are all amazing. she shoots mostly with a yashica mat 124, which i have never used, but am now anxious to try. her photos have an almost polaroid, dreamlike feel to them. i don't know much about her, other than she has a photoblog and seems to travel a lot. i love this and this and this.

oh, and check out my interview on shari's special, handmade for the holidays. she was so sweet to include me in this great idea!

toby glanville
this is the photographer for the book i posted about yesterday.

here is another link for sarah maingot who i have posted about before. i love the way you can actually 'look' through her portfolio.



you can also see another great photographer on this site, tim evan cook. you can see more of his work here. check out this ballet photographs. stunning.

rose bakery

hello friends. i hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend. i had a lovely time and made my first turkey {with a little help}. we basted the bird with lots of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, garlic, and beer! sounds like a crazy combination, but it turned out to be delicious. i also made mav's cranberries. they were really good! that hint of orange and bite of clove really make a great combo.


today i wanted to share some photos from a great book i just bought. the food photos are wonderful and really give you a sense of the bakery. i fell in love with the book immediately and had to have it. you can see more photos here {you just have to put in the authors name-rose carrarini in the search}.
after looking at these delicious photos, i got inspired to take the above pie photos. i brought out my 4x5, which i have not done in a while. i had to work fast, as the light was fading. it is so amazing how at around 4pm the most beautiful light comes into my room, but by 4:30 it is gone. that is the one thing i don't like about winter, the lack of daylight hours. but, it felt good to be shooting film again and i can't wait to bring out my 4x5 again.

happy thanksgiving weekend

so, my nephew asked my mom "what is christmas?"
she replied, "the celebration of the birth of jesus."
then he asked, "who is jesus?"
she said, "i think you need to start going to sunday school."
his reply, matter of factly: "i don't need to go to sunday school, i already know how to make sundaes!"
hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend with family and friends.

feeling accomplished

i finally got to work last night on something i have been wanting to put together for a while. can't wait to share...but they are not ready yet.

here is some more photo inspiration.

all photographs by roland bello
i especially love his still life and interior work. you may recognize his work from some of the anthropologie catalogs.
i am in love with this tree house.

also look at these beautiful holiday decorations. i am not sure if they are crocheted or paper doilies, but they are exquisite. such a great idea! the holidays will be here before we know it.

moody blues

photograph by martyn thompson-he is one of my favorite photographers. i love the existence series on his site under the gallery section. there is something about the way he uses light. his photos have very dark overtones{in look and in feeling} which i am drawn to.
you can see more of his commercial work {which is amazing} here. he did the photography for this wonderful book. if you have not seen it, you should take a look.

monday,monday

added a new addition to the shop today.
this is the first in a series i am starting. it is a limited edition print of one of my polaroid duos. there is something about these 2 photos that go together to me. i don't know if it's the color or the mood, but i thought they worked well as a duo.

photo inspiration

hi friends.
new photography discovery: kelli connell
she does amazing stuff. when first looking at her photographs, they look like intimate connections between 2 people. but, then i read the info section on kelli's site and discovered they were 2 photographs of the same person joined together in photoshop. her explanation in the information section is really thought provoking. if you are in the seattle area, she will be in a group show with erika shires at pwnw starting nov. 10th.

check out this really cool project.

happy november

photo by erica shires. i love her work and she is having an opening tonight.

i was lucky enough to snatch up one of these last night...yippee!! don't know if i'll give it as a gift or have to keep it for myself.
