behind the mascara

a portrait

two words to describe this past weekend: legitimately awesome. i hadn’t smiled as much in quite a long time.  i made many new friends with whom i laughed, big, heartfelt belly laughs.  the kindness they showed me was rejuvenating. these two were my roomies.  they kept me laughing.  made sure i was warm and toasty […]Read Post ›

what’s going on here….: road trip – BIG Sur

there shouldn’t be anything that keeps you from personally laying your very own eyeballs on the relatively small patch of california coast side known as BIG SUR. rent a car.  fill it up with gasoline and some (if not all) of your favorite people.  time your drive so that you’re there in daylight.  sunrise is […]Read Post ›

what’s going on here ….: road trip – headed south

spent some time editing again this weekend.  going back through these photos reminds me of how spectacular the trip was; visiting some amazing people and places! while scoping out santa cruz, we walked out to the end of a jetty to check out a cool little lighthouse.  the lighthouse was cool, but what i couldn’t […]Read Post ›

what’s going on here….: road trip NorCal v3

i’ve been taking lighthouses for granted in my lifetime.  kind of like the fact that i take sliced bread for granted.  lighthouses do some very important things.  they are really spectacular to look at.  and, most of them are really old and awesome looking.  it’s the light at the end of a tunnel, for pete’s […]Read Post ›

what’s going on here….: road trip NorCal v2

having lived a rather nomadic life, rarely do i get the opportunity to dig in deep anywhere.  this means a whole bunch of things, but importantly it means that i don’t often get the chance to enjoy an intimate familiarity with a town, city, or state. when the invite came to me to see a […]Read Post ›

what’s going on here …. road trip: NorCal v 1

recently i was on the west coast getting my good time on with some of my favorite people in the world, in my favorite places in the world. every mile traveled was worth the lifelong memories my pictures will help me to keep alive. the journey started on a beautiful afternoon.  the travel weather log […]Read Post ›

does it get any better…really?

let’s get real and right down to it. i had a tremendous opportunity to sit in on a hearty dose of food for the soul.  if i could give a musical reference to compare, i’d probably pick the sound made from Muscle Shoals, Alabama.  What’s that?  Aretha Franklin’s “I Never Loved A Man The Way […]Read Post ›

What’s going on here….

Spa day for the Doods.  It’s stressful for the Doods to get their coif on, so we figured that it was mentally better for us to send all four of them to the spa at the same time.  What’s better than one stress ball?  Four. So, we sent the girls and the guy to get […]Read Post ›

What’s going on ….

Caught! what’s going on …. Rule: no running in the hotel room. Someone was doing just that …. and someone happened to catch it for the sake of perpetuity. Shouldn’t everyone try to sneak in a little joie de vivre?

What’s going on ….

When you have a dog, routine seems to be the keys to keeping it all in balance. The dogs need their routine to rely on and look forward to. The humans need it to depend on for a source of sanity. what’s going on here …. Each morning The Mister takes the girls for a […]Read Post ›
