island times

I had a camera developed after spending a weekend with friends in the San Juans. Most of the roll was from last weekend's trip (which was glorious!) but the rest was from this summer. Johnnie's birthday and our week camping on Lopez specifically, I think. It's so nice to get a little kiss from summer time just when fall/winter is starting to hit hard. I walked to work with frost on the ground and wore my big winter coat today, both firsts of the season. These goofball summer time faces made me smile despite being quite a grump this morning. :)

I don't remember taking these ones with the fingers in the frames, I think maybe it was Johnnie. ;)

MUTANTS, ETC

Soon I'll talk more about what I've been up to for the past few months, but for now, just look at these:

I'm hooked on these junk store disposable cameras! Some of these were taken during the making of an Unnatural Helpers music video - why not watch the finished product?

SUMMER FUNS

A few more pics to finish up that little disposable...

Bend

I went with my good friend Meaghan to Bend, Oregon for the Fourth of July. We stayed with her brother Taylor and his charming pup Lynn. Here are some of the sights I saw...

I've really been loving that small-town-feel lately, I think the city hustle creeps up on my psyche more than I realize. Being in Bend was so restful and the drive was so beautiful! 

I've been wanting to take more pictures lately, but my old Polaroid just doesn't seem to be the right fit -it's big and heavy and sort of limited in it's abilities - and I don't know why, but I just can't bring myself to take pictures for fun with my digital camera. So I bought a disposable camera to take with me and I loved it! I might have to keep one around more often or just find an old little point and shoot at the junk shop to have on hand.
