#fridaynight working on another branding project for NPL...my own!

Drawing Cameras

Spent this morning at the office drawing vintage cameras for a new NPL tshirt design to be worn at this year's upcoming trade shows. I am loving that everything is getting a fresh face for 2013!

The Way We Were

Last night I had a thought of us in old-age days  ---- saw myself sitting down to an old oak desk (on the garden side of the house & setting the mug of tea down), to write you another letter. 

Telling of the month's good work, the kid's forts and the memories I'd been having lately of when we were young. 

Writing to you while you're somewhere - in some form of mountains -  faraway in this wide world we love. And I'm picturing how my former dearest will read the words while sitting on a rock, and smile.

---- And I don't know if that's the sweetest premonition - or the saddest one I've ever had.

Happy New Year!...and new look!

Sometimes it starts with the smallest thing. 

This little (but big purchase) Olympus pen camera has inspired lots of ideas --- mainly, to get back to the photography I loved shooting the most -- documenting candid portraits, places and nights. 

Can't believe I started this blog FIVE years ago (whoa) and that people have been reading it from the start!! Will continue to write in prose as always --- to share beat stories of dimly lit nights with the artists+friends in my life, and the adventures of all sizes and places. TO WRITE, always.

However - there's lots of projects already in the works for 2013 ....and my idea is to EXPAND this blog into a full scope of my work - from design, to film work, to travel and yes - photography.

There's even a link now to my Pininterest board on the left!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope everyone enjoys the new look! 

Here's to 2013, and all the adventures ahead!
