A Well Spent Friday Night...

My Friday night was spent in celebration of the light at the end of the tunnel of work stress, and some recent strides in my photography. First there was a quality dinner of a Jimmy John's beach club and a New Belgium Sunshine. Then we went to our favorite local tea shop where I could not resist a slice of the Black Forest Cake. A few bites of that and I was full; looking forward to the rest of it left in my fridge! The tea shop was so peaceful and right as we were about to leave, two friends called to invite us out for drinks. Why not? So we headed over to Marisco's, where neither of us had ever been. At first I had no idea why we'd be going to a fancy Italian place for drinks, but the bar was classy and laid back, and we had a great time with this other couple, unwinding after a long week. I've spent Saturday taking photos outside (after I had to work until 3!), and I'm looking forward to some quality couch time and more photography adventures tomorrow...Thanks for stopping by!

p.s. I noticed in the stats I have viewers in Poland, Switzerland, Iran, Argentina, and that you are 57% Mac users...neat stuff! Thanks for following!

Happy Accidents & Strangers

Some of the first stranger project outtakes. I'm glad I got up the courage to ask her if I could take a real shot as it resulted in a nice conversation! Here's the one that made it to flickr.
It's weird, but I really kinda love this diptych. It's one of those accidental abstract kind of things that I can never do on purpose. Note to self: work on that! What happy accidents have you had in photography? Share a link in the comments if you like!

Rejected.

I've never had such an awesome stack of reject photos in my life. These are the ones that DIDN'T make it to flickr...which means better versions and shots of these flowers will make it there!

I've never been very excited about tulips either. They still kind of bore me when I see them, but as soon as I look at the photos, I have to admit they are truly photogenic flowers!




Be sure to check out my 365 shot on flickr today, where I started my Strangers project, if you can count the shot as such!
