Yesterday I finished re-post-processing all the photos for my show at Wink. It was cool to go back and look at the original RAW files again (some from 2 years ago), and realize that now I actually know how to use the Photoshop RAW dialog box for good and not for evil. I’m [...]
Oh!
I just finished ordering the framing supplies for a photography show I’m putting up at Wink Hair Studio on Queen Anne. Included in the show will be photos from Puerto Vallarta, Tokyo, and some of my plant photography.
I put such a dent in Richard’s credit card ordering the supplies. It’s terrifying trying to [...]

I am battling headaches and pain and fatigue today. It makes me want to punch things. Yesterday I was just thinking, “wow, lately I’ve been feeling kind of good, and I almost don’t know what to do with myself”… and today I’m back to a state where I just want to crawl into [...]

I wish I could remember more what they looked like… there were lots of forests and lakes, and some swamp monsters… [...]
Saturday was amazing. It was 70 degrees in Seattle. A couple friends came over, we washed off the plastic patio furniture, and ate picnic food in the sun. I wore a tank top and sandals.
I don’t think there’s any way to fully communicate how wonderful it feels to have a day like [...]
I just finished reading “The Painted Veil” by W. Somerset Maugham, which was written in 1925. I saw the movie recently, and I loved it, probably because it’s hard not to love Naomi Watts when she’s being so cute and frail and sorrowful. She plays Kitty, a woman whose husband takes her to [...]
You know, that last post was kind of heavy, so, here’s a sketch of a cat in a wrestling mask getting vacuumed.
