To a brand new baby Fuji Instax Wide!

Last week after much debate, I finally decided to spoil myself and purchase a camera I've long drooled over. I figured with it being tax return time, this would be my one big "splurge" .. and I'm so excited about it. I try to do something nice each year with my tax return because well, I worked hard all year for that money. My camera is "schedule for delivery" sometime tomorrow along with 2 wonderful boxes of film. I absolutely cannot wait!

I suppose I guess what this post should really read is "Watch Out: Lots of Instax photos comin' your way!"

In other news, but I've been cutting, scanning, photoshoppin', cutting more and scanning again all week. I think I've finally finished my first piece, but I don't want to show quite yet. It seems out of context at this point, so I think I'm going to wait until I have a few others to share! Keep your eyes peeled!

Adventures!

I finally got around to scanning some of the images from a wintery beach adventure AJ and I had last month! It was a total spur of the decision where we just decided to grab our 35s and drive out to Lake Erie to see what we could find - and I'm really glad we did! These are just a few of my favorite shots from that day, you can see more (and larger versions) here . I don't know what it is, but there is just something so appealing about the beach's landscape in the winter time. While I'm thankful we had an exceptionally warm and short season, I'm always left wishing I could have shot something more. Maybe it's the fact that the lake never really froze this year and I wasn't able to capture certain things I had hoped to. There's always next year though! And really, who can complain about Spring making an early arrival, right?

Visits, New Family Members & Procrastination:

I feel as if I’ve been neglecting my poor dear blog, and I swear, I really don’t mean to! I’ve had a sticky note that says “Update Blog!” on it stuck to my desk for days, but it seems to continue to get buried under other stick notes with to do lists, reminders, etc. It’s easy to forget how hectic it can be to juggle working 40+ hours a week, life’s demands, and creating art! It’s something I’ve always struggled with & since I’m only human, it’s something I’ll probably always struggle with it. How do people do it? I’ve always thought I was a great multi-tasker, but maybe not with such big things! None the less, I have lots of updates, so grab something to drink and brace yourself: 

My mom came down from Michigan last weekend which was beyond amazing! I haven’t seen her in quite some time (and she hasn’t been to Ohio since October) so it was a much needed visit. We spent time thrifting, watching movies, catching up, and of course, eating at some local Cleveland gems! And naturally,...

It's All In Your Head || Thoughts & Feelings Of A Life Changing Diagnosis

One of the hardest things for me when writing these posts is knowing where to start.  Especially with a post like this .. I want it to be personal, but not too personal. This body of work is very intimate and close to my heart but I worry about crossing a line with my readers//viewers and don't ever want that.  Before I actually do get started, I suppose I should give you a warning that this might be a bit long in length.  I tend to get a little long winded when it comes to things like this. As far as where to start … I guess the beginning is as good of place as any, right? I was truly hoping to have an artist statement prepared before I shared this body of work, but I've decided that I want to share it while it is in progress. I want to share the journey of creating new pieces, where my life is taking me, etc.  So, back to the beginning. Back in December of 2011, I wasn't feeling well. Not your normal " not feeling well " … I knew someth...
