monday inspires

morning friends. how was your weekend? mine was nice. the weather saturday was the best we have had. this is shaping out to be quite a nice summer. i felt compelled once again to share some inspiring magazine images {these are from austrialian vogue living may/june 2007}. the article is about a collaborative exhibit between a ceramicist and a painter. if you happen to be in sydney, you can see it here. The curator was inspired to create this collaboration after seeing an exhibit of morandi's work. oh, while you're at the museum site, also check out this. beautiful work.

this is an outtake from a shoot i did on saturday. i think i was influenced by the above images without even knowing it.

also, i have declared this my week of polaroids over at flickr. i will be posting a new one each day.

happy monday~more magazine inspiration tomorrow.

summer evening

the weather is so nice today. warm, sunny, and breezy. i had the best dinner last night outside in the backyard. we made whole wheat linguine cooked in herb ox chicken broth tossed with olive oil. then we added steamed baby portabella mushrooms, fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled goat cheese and topped with fresh grated romano cheese and lots of pepper. yum. add a glass of shiraz and a nice conversation and you have a lovely summer evening. i tried to take some photos, but, my polaroids kept getting stuck in the camera again. oh well, i'm sure you can imagine it. hope you are having nice summer evenings as well.

and for today, some links:
mandula. {via shiny squirrel}
photos by marcelo gomes. {via montmartes's sketchbook: love her banner!}
photos by kelsey foster.

enjoy!

flip flop season

the older i get, the more i realize what a creature of habit i am. lately i have been mixing up my normal routine and it has thrown me off a bit. in a good way, i guess. i feel like there are so many opportunities out there, i often bite off more than i can chew. but the good new is, i got 2 new pair of summer flip flops..2 for $5.

here are some things inspiring me around the web lately:
