Big Announcement!

Ok, this is fairly huge. My work has been chosen to decorate the beautifully renovated Labor and Delivery unit at St. Lukes Northland Hospital. I want to thank Becky, my studio manager and friend, for her tireless efforts in the project. I literally could NOT have done it without her.

And Thank You to Karen at St. Lukes for choosing me, and Thank You to the staff for allowing me to photograph your kids, I am so excited about this!

I dont know if I can publish photos once the display is up or not, but I hope so..its going to be gorgeous. The 2 waiting rooms, the labor rooms, the post partum rooms and the hallways!

This is the hospital where I had my kids and would seriously pay out of pocket to go there is I had to. Love "my" hospital"!

Here are a couple cuties I photographed during our 2-day session for the staff....dolls!

Vandals Trash One of Our Parks

I was saddened to read that vandals trashed Shoal Creek park (aka Hodge park) in Liberty over the weekend. I shoot there a lot, and think that the grounds and historic buildings are very lovely. Most people dont even know its there, and its too bad that now its damaged.

I'll have to dig out some stuff I've shot there recently...its so nice.

Ok, heres some from 2 weeks ago:

Filmtastic Baby!

So I have started to rediscover film....real film, not that junk you buy at WalMart. Hopefully I will be learning darkroom stuff too. The guys at Photographx here in town are going to teach me to develop my own. I guess I'll need to convert that extra basement bathroom to a darkroom. I'm sure hubby will be thrilled.

So I put some film stuff up on the site. The Holga images are my faves...its a weird thing, a Holga. I found this quote about the Holga online and it pretty much sums it up better than I could..."A Holga is a plastic 120 film camera that is cheap, cheap, cheap and built like it. Mine is held together with duct tape, both inside and out. Many people dismiss it as a cheap plastic toy camera, and many others taking fantastic images with it in spite of light leaks and considerable variation from camera to camera in lens quality, shutter speed, and f/stops. Think of the Holga as a rangefinder version of the Kodak Brownie and you won’t be too far off the mark."
