4 Things…It's Summer

It is finally summer and I'm excited. Summer time in San Diego is always perfect. Here are few things I have been doing lately. I hope they inspire you. Happy Weekend.Dreaming Of: Years ago, Mike and I shot Whitney and Greg's wedding in Anchorage, Alaska on summer solstice. They had a baby then, but now, there's another on the way. I love following our clients on Facebook and seeing their families grow. Sending lots of hugs your way. Cheers to more babies.

Creating: A series of underwater images.  I'm loving the challenges that shooting underwater comes with.  I'm learning to hold my breath longer and judge distances to focus on our manual focus film camera.  I've got to tell you I miss through the lens focusing.

Listening To: Jackie and Kim's Wedding CD. It's amazing. I love getting my hands on people's mixed tapes.  It's an art in itself.

Celebrating: Recently my younger brother welcomes his first born into the world. I'm an aunt. I just met him today. It was love at first sight.

4 Things.... Road Trip!

Recently,  Jen and I took the old Prius for a spin to Arizona. Sometimes getting away from it all refreshes my creative spirit.4 things I've been loving...

Listening: Billy Joel's concert in Phoenix, AZ was everything I could have hoped for. It was amazing to watch someone still love to perform after all these years. To quote my friend Jenny, "Sometimes music is transcendent."

Watching: A Book of Morman in San Diego, CA. It was epic. Run don't walk.

Playing: Exquisite Corpse with Lauren Natalie on Pinterest. This is a game created by surrealists around 1925 in which each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule or by being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed. I love how this game promotes collaboration. In our version, Lauren and I take turns pinning photographs for each other. First I pin an image, and then Lauren answers by pining an image inspired by the previous one. Soon enough, we have an entire board filled with photography inspiration.

Dreaming: Last week I booked a wedding in Italy. I have my fingers crossed that I will get to spend some time in Iceland on the way there. A girl can dream...

Happy Weekend! Hoping you get to do some road tripping this summer.

xoxo,

Suzanne
