this is my sad dog madeleine. i dont know why she is sad. probably wants food. or attention. or both.

july 4th dinner... =)

this picture was a bit all over the place before i cropped it. i still don't even know what i was focusing on... doesn't that car in the background look like it was photoshopped in? it wasn't.

these balloons reminded me of Up

sticks...

and stones...

my bones?

MY bones.

my jaundiced boyfriend...

oh! much better!

*caption*
the ISO was turned up so high... i ended up with a lot of "noise" so i just turned up the grain even more and made it b&w.

this is a look of despair. don't let the eyes fool u.


i feel a bit uninspired lately. and apparently, according to this blog, that is not a word! what inspires you?

in what sort of setting might you see some of these things?

san pedro and palos verdes

madeleine

some ppl take pictures of buildings. others take pictures of their kids. still others take pictures of nature. i like to take pictures of my dog.


i was making the WEIRDEST noises and sounds to get her to focus on the camera. i guess they were a little too weird bc she gave me this... eh??? look.


i've discovered that madeleine smiles. it's amazing what u notice through a lens that you wouldn't in everyday life.
take one. no smile....
there! do you see it? it's slight... but it's there. am i crazy? i'm crazy arent i?

didn't see it the first time? i will POINT to it.

here it is again. the "dog smile"

wearing the cone of shame... she kept scratching her face and gave herself a hot spot.

always the optimist.

san francisco

i hate pigeons. and most birds for that matter, but for some reason it was exciting to see... "wildlife".

cherry pickin'

we went cherry picking this past weekend...
oh, hello there!

mmm... i think i will pick you and eat you!

where cherries meet their death.


the rest of the pictures are just me experimenting w/ cropping, lighting, color...




that was fun! i felt like a country girl. =)

mini gardening...

andrew and i planted some seeds a couple of weeks ago... and they've been growing!

here is purpley. we dunno what kind of plant she is, i just dumped a handful of mixed seeds into this pot, and out sprouted these two. =) i know, the color and exposure are way off, but this was the most decent one i could use of all the pictures i took of purpley.

i was a little disappointed when i saw this picture. if i had just moved the frame down just a teensy bit, it would've been an awesome picture. but, i cut off the end of the pot. poop.

here are the twins. they've really got their own personality. i like to think of the one on the left as being shy... and the one on the right as very outgoing. (they are benny&joon)

this is andrew's sensitive plant. i barely touch it and it droops. here it is, sad because i sprayed it with water. i was just trying to help, GOSH!

i am saving up for a 50mm fixed f/1.4 lens. =)
