Entry to the digs. Dig?

On the line

2011-11-08T09:55:00.000-08:00

Been upping my polaroid habit thanks to the Impossible Project.

Some good film erosion on this one that followed cat's outline.

Surf/Swim

2011-11-06T12:33:00.000-08:00

Venice Beach.

Let it burn

2011-10-30T10:30:00.000-07:00

It's true, I'm a fire sign. But just so we're clear, neither were my doing.

Fresh laundry

2011-10-29T17:20:00.000-07:00

How quaint.

I'm a winner! v.2

2011-10-25T20:01:00.000-07:00

My two photos above were selected for the 2011 Iphone Photography Awards. Giving myself two pats on the back.

Vision Quest

2011-05-02T22:03:00.000-07:00

There was an RV caravan, two ferry rides, spirit animals, whale bones, one party, dancing on a rooftop, and an angry ocean.

A glimpse into the inspiration trip to Neah Bay that I was fortunate to experience back in January. My job has its cool moments, and this was one of them.

Brooklyn

Americana.

Him

2011-02-10T23:38:00.000-08:00

A perfect way to spend time.

Tokyo two

2010-12-29T17:52:00.000-08:00

Only in Tokyo will I find these ears. Drat.

The way to the top

2010-12-06T00:10:00.000-08:00

And what catches you when you fall.
Fun fact: my instructor was the pretty lady on the right and performing in this post.

Circus circus

2010-12-04T18:48:00.000-08:00

I'm going to run away and join. Honing my skills here.

XTRKEY

2010-11-25T11:00:00.000-08:00

I've been saving this for a year. These were my tiles on a rousing game of scrabble last Thanksgiving. So close!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Macaroon cartoon

2010-11-23T23:26:00.000-08:00

They were good and they were shared. And they were from here.

I pity the fool

2010-11-10T23:28:00.000-08:00

Speaking of the 80's, does anybody realize how epic 1985 was for cinema? I started listing out some of my faves to a friend, and every single one of them was from 1985. It was uncanny. Seriously. Check it out:

Goonies- 1985

Clue - '85

Back to the Future - Eighty five

Just One of the Guys - guess what? '85.

The Breakfast Club - yep.

Teen Wolf - ruff.

Explorers - baby Ethan and River. Nice.

Pee Wee's Big Adventure - tequila.

Young Sherlock Holmes - elementary.

Gremlins - Fine. It was '84 but close.

Karate Kid - Ok. '84.

There's a bunch more, but those were the ones that really shaped me into the cultured woman I am today. What are your favorite 80's movies?

Love, leave, Marcy

2010-11-02T22:36:00.000-07:00

Some choice words.

Bloggy Birthday

2010-09-28T22:02:00.000-07:00

I knew it was coming up at the end of September. Turns out it was a year ago today I posted my first post.

(Aaaw. So innocent, so naive.)

Glad I checked, I would have had to arrange a belated post, and that's always awkward.

A lot has changed, and a lot has stayed the same since I first hit the PUBLISH POST button. But what matters in this teensy weensy part of the blogosphere, is that I still like my iPhone camera, and it totally likes me back. I think we have something going here.

Happy blogging to me!

Dogs with issues

2010-09-22T20:51:00.000-07:00

But who am I to judge?

2010-09-19T17:11:00.000-07:00

Tree shadows and aqua.

Stars and boats

2010-08-03T00:03:00.000-07:00

Cute right?

Will it ever end?

2010-07-30T00:13:00.000-07:00

No. Not if I have anything to do with it. The Bastille Day celebration will go on indefinitely!

Or at least for a couple more posts.

Fun fact: I snagged me one of them there navy blue parasols.

Make a wish

2010-07-26T22:54:00.000-07:00

Sing a song.

Fun fact: I did make a wish. What did I wish? You have to check the birdcage. It's in the greenhouse.

Characters

2010-07-24T21:21:00.000-07:00

These lovely ladies doubled as talented trapeze artists.

Definitely too cool for school.

Vive la France!

2010-07-14T23:29:00.000-07:00

I had a magical time celebrating Bastille Day in Seattle. Full of sweets, parasols, mustaches and wishes. I'll be sharing the pics over the next few posts!

I'm a winner!

2010-07-05T22:58:00.000-07:00

At the suggestion of Jamie of From Me To You, I entered the iPhone Photography Awards. First off, I was extremely flattered by this because Jamie is an amazingly talented photographer, and I took her suggestion as a major compliment. You will be wowed by her photography, as well as how well styled her blog is.

The photos above were selected. The top one in the Lifestyle category, and the bottom one in Pets.

I'm so thrilled, especially because the competition was pretty tough. There are some stunning, incredible images that were selected, so I'm honored to part of the cool crowd.

There's something about neon

2010-06-24T09:31:00.000-07:00

Right? Colorful, bright ... must take picture...

Need a lift?

2010-06-23T09:00:00.000-07:00

It's thatta way.

Hong Kong studs

2010-06-22T09:00:00.001-07:00

Tell me about it, stud.

Proof that inspiration is everywhere. Love me some studs.

Colorful trucks

2010-06-19T23:58:00.000-07:00

I didn't get too many opportunities to take photos in Hong Kong, mostly in between meetings, on the way from car to building. The colorful trucks were working hard to catch my eye.

Queen Bea/Bee

2010-06-16T00:12:00.000-07:00

It's been a whirlwind. I was huge in Hong Kong, broke my laptop, and got a cat. The latter shown above. The new laptop I am typing on. The Hong Kong weight I am working on losing.

Cat's name was Barbie. I think a nod to her past is in order, so I thought I would abbreviate it to Bea or Bee. What say you? Power to the people!

Fun fact: Bea/Bee is not the same cat as shown here.

Wag

2010-06-02T22:57:00.000-07:00

Two different methods, same result. Treats were administered seconds later.

Peonies and cauliflower

2010-06-01T20:33:00.000-07:00

Take that!

Bleu

2010-05-21T08:18:00.000-07:00

Fromage bleu et maison bleue.

Meow

2010-05-18T09:06:00.000-07:00

I'll be getting one of my own soon, but in the meantime, meow.

Have a seat

2010-05-17T08:15:00.000-07:00

Which one would you choose?

Eddie

2010-05-12T08:21:00.000-07:00

The new office pooch/mascot.

Fun fact: He's seven weeks old and did his business in the conference room about 20 minutes after this picture was taken. Both numbers. Ha!

One of these things

2010-05-11T08:30:00.000-07:00

Is not like the other.

A floral welcome

2010-05-06T08:19:00.000-07:00

Fresh flowers were a warm welcome at my new job.

Crisp Crimson

2010-04-30T08:40:00.000-07:00

Carbs

2010-04-29T09:35:00.000-07:00

My favorite carb is bread, adorned with cheese. What's yours?

All around

2010-04-28T09:19:00.000-07:00

I wanted to lay in the petals and look up through the blooms to the sky. I didn't, but I did stop and smell the flowers.

Pizza party

2010-04-27T08:34:00.000-07:00

How good does that pizza look, am I right? Well it was delicious. My good friend and fellow blogger over at Chop Suey was the host to this lovely get together. There were two pizzas on the menu:

1) POTATO, ARGULA PECORINO & MOZZARELLA (PICTURED)

2) BLUE CHEESE & ROASTED SQUASH (NOT PICTURED, SAD)

Both were so easy. You can make them too, I recommend it! Recipes are at Chop Suey. Enjoy!

Elise

2010-04-26T08:30:00.000-07:00

Who's this Elise? Why does she get a sign? Wait, I think I found her, bottom picture.

Fun fact: pretty sure Elise is a snail. Why else would she be on the building?

Oh orchid . . .

2010-04-23T08:17:00.000-07:00

Why are you so pretty? Reminds me of this cake.

Around the house

2010-04-22T08:44:00.000-07:00

Please excuse the mess of cords.

Seeing spots

2010-04-21T09:15:00.000-07:00

I think Diva was seeing red due to the hat. Like dogs in clothes? Here's another one.

Fun fact: The balloon and dog were not at a party together. Completely separate pink and white polka dot sightings.

Pops of blue

2010-04-20T08:52:00.000-07:00

In a rescued baby hat, and a laundry front.

Fun fact: It seems I have a thing for laundry places. Evidence here and here.

Mossy roots

2010-04-19T09:02:00.000-07:00

Pink on the ground

2010-04-16T08:11:00.000-07:00

Sometimes times looking down can prove interesting. Tall people know this.

Stacks of boats

2010-04-15T08:58:00.000-07:00

I think the second image is of paddle boats, I am not sure. Perhaps I should get to know my subjects a little more in advance.

White flowers and sun

2010-04-14T09:04:00.000-07:00

You kind of can't get it wrong.

Red tulips

2010-04-13T09:19:00.000-07:00

Elements

2010-04-12T09:09:00.000-07:00

A few of the elements used for a French inspired dinner:

1) Fennel.

2) Jaunty soup terrines.

3) A scarf for tying.

Silver bits

2010-04-09T09:00:00.000-07:00

Dreamer

2010-04-08T08:07:00.000-07:00

A slight deviation from the norm. Occasionally I like to post my polaroids and now I present two images from my Diana Dreamer.
What you see are the only shots that made it from my first roll. Long story, but it pays to read the directions, specifically about how to use the different settings. Ah, the joys of using film!

Fun fact: I left the black bands on the images. Thought it added a little charm.

Pretty in pink

2010-04-07T08:58:00.000-07:00

Magnolias! Nature's design in pink is way better than Andie's prom dress.

Sea plane

2010-04-06T08:45:00.000-07:00

See? It's a sea plane.

Windblown

2010-04-05T08:47:00.000-07:00

A bit of bunting peeking out at the top of the image.

Heavy metal

2010-04-02T09:08:00.000-07:00

Getting schooled

2010-04-01T11:01:00.000-07:00

I took snowboarding lessons. The weather provided almost a foot of new snow for cushion, and a sunny day. It was fun, and really exhausting! I don't know if I'll ever be cool enough to call it riding. Riding = horseback riding to me, right? I'll stick to calling it snowboarding for now.

Get to the point

2010-03-31T09:19:00.000-07:00

Looking sharp!

Twin Pines

2010-03-30T08:33:00.000-07:00

Warning: I'm bringing back a bit of chilly weather for a few posts.

Feelin ducky

2010-03-29T08:30:00.000-07:00

Pirate duck is called Scurvy duck. Pirates have it rough.

Flock off

2010-03-26T08:20:00.000-07:00

There's something about flocked wallpaper.

Disco and mermaids

2010-03-25T08:22:00.000-07:00

Disco ball or Under the Sea? Why not have have both?

Thanks Michael for letting me share the magic!

Scratch and Sniff

2010-03-24T08:51:00.000-07:00

Scratch and Sniff wallpaper. It's bananas.

Found at the Wonderland Beauty Parlor.

Smile chaise

2010-03-23T08:45:00.000-07:00

More from the Wonderland Beauty Parlor.
You have to smile back. Infectious. You can sit on it here.

Beauty Parlor

2010-03-22T08:40:00.000-07:00

Let me introduce you to Michael Angelo's Wonderland Beauty Parlor. Truly fantastical, which you will see over the course of the next few days. All New Yorkers, I recommend a visit.

Hi Daniel! Hi Michael!

Balloon shadows

2010-03-19T08:30:00.000-07:00

Did you know balloons shadow in color? Do you think they dream in color too?

Wash and Fold

2010-03-18T08:26:00.000-07:00

I would totally trust the one on the left to wash and fold my clothes. I'm a little wary of the alterations and repairs woman though.

Streets of color

2010-03-17T09:13:00.000-07:00

Color!

Sidewalks of San Francisco

2010-03-16T10:52:00.000-07:00

I thought these were blog-worthy. I wonder what the story is.

I couldn't wait

2010-03-15T09:20:00.000-07:00

This would have been a good post for the Easter season, but I couldn't wait that long. Flowers!

A sign

2010-03-12T09:09:00.000-08:00

I saw it, it had a pink hue and I liked it. That's that.

Non-stop

2010-03-11T09:06:00.000-08:00

Headed to Tahoe this morning. My first time there. Snowboarding lessons will be happening, so naturally falling will also be happening.

The sun gets in your eyes

2010-03-10T09:04:00.000-08:00

New York was beautiful. No bundling up necessary.

Bicycle, bicycle

2010-03-09T07:05:00.000-08:00

Fun fact: I am not a very good bicyclist. Turning doesn't agree with me. It's kind of embarrassing but these kind of make me want to try again. Kind of.

Stacked

2010-03-08T08:26:00.000-08:00

They were free and they were yummy.

Post Alley

2010-03-05T08:30:00.000-08:00

Taken on the way to a Saturday lunch at the Pink Door. Enjoyed a Rosewater cocktail. Yum.

Headed to New York this morning. I'm ready to bundle up!

Bossy

2010-03-04T08:11:00.000-08:00

Is it me or does this sign seem kind of bossy?

Pac NW

2010-03-03T08:17:00.000-08:00

This feels very Northwest to me. I like it.

You might be a blogger if . . .

2010-03-02T08:12:00.000-08:00

A pic of cherry blossoms show up on your website. I couldn't resist.

Wonderland

2010-03-01T09:12:00.000-08:00

The Lambiel Museum on Orcas Island. A private collection of art, adorning every possible surface inside and out. The website simply doesn't do it justice. I was only allowed take pictures of the outside.

Wish you could've been there to see it.

Down the rabbit hole

2010-02-26T08:25:00.000-08:00

A sneak peek. See you next week.

Don't be late.

Rainbow bug

2010-02-25T08:54:00.000-08:00

Happy.

Crackle

2010-02-24T08:57:00.000-08:00

Pop. Snap. Fires also talks to you, much like Rice Krispies.

Root down

2010-02-23T08:06:00.000-08:00

Orcas Island roots.

Ferry boat

2010-02-22T08:57:00.000-08:00

The ferry to Orcas Island.

Fun fact: It makes me chuckle when on Grey's Anatomy they call them ferry boats, not just ferry's. It sounds odd.

Yourphoneography: Hurricane

2010-02-19T09:07:00.000-08:00

Today's Yourphoneography comes from my brilliant friend and future blogger Kathryn.
Born on Galveston Island, she witnesses on a visit years later the progress and remaining wreckage of Ike (even though a year has past) from the beach to the house where she used to live.

Fun fact: It wasn't taken with a phone, but I'll let it slide.

I'm with the band

2010-02-18T08:37:00.000-08:00

I've reached a milestone in my photography career/hobby/whatever it is. My first photo used for an album cover! So happy to be asked and that the shot was liked! Shoes on a wire in case you couldn't tell.

Bring Back Brenda is a friend of mine, and I was a guest of honor at her CD release party. Limos and champagne were enjoyed, and the door was to remain locked. It's a pretty cool door.

The quest for 5 Flower Tea

2010-02-17T09:01:00.000-08:00

Into the depths of the international district I went in search of the magical tea from my past. While new territory was explored, the search proved fruitless, and the quest continues.
