coffee love

One of my favorite things ever is coffee. I love the smell. I love the taste. I love the community that is associated with coffeeshops. (Just a side note...coffeeshops isn't actually a word. It's supposed to be coffee shops, but I think it should be one word, so I insist on writing it that way.) This is my photographic ode to my love for coffee.

YUM!!

cider days = fall

Every fall there is a street festival called Cider Days. The past couple of years, I have gone because my lovely friend, Lee Ellen Starks, has been performing there. Just a little shoutout for her...she is AMAZING!!! You should check out her blog and youtube and myspace...it will change your life...trust me!

So something about me is that I love to take pictures of people when they don't realize that I'm taking a picture of them. I feel like when that happens you get a real picture of someone. Like they can't hide behind a mask that they put on for the camera. It's quite fun, but can be a little tricky with a big camera.
Anyway, here are some of the pictures I took at Cider Days when I was there.

This is such an awesome face!!! LOVE IT!!

I love the fact that he has an England football [soccer] jersey on.

These little girls were climbing the tree in their pretty dresses...it made me smile to myself cause my sister and I used to do that.

This picture just makes me laugh...so cute!!!

summa time

Summer is a season I love. It is warm. It is sunny. It is relaxed. Summer to me always seems to involve the water. And I love water. These pictures epitomize summer to me.

texture

My roommate and dear friend is a graphic designer and artist. She also happens to have a thing for texture, especially the texture of water and the ocean.
