This is a fun questionnaire that Amy from switz~art tagged me in, a nice break in my lame day!
What is your current obsession?
My newest obsession is really nothing new…getting back into shape. I have started running again and my goal is to lose 10 lbs. in the month of May…(insert inspirational comment here).
Who was the last person you hugged?
My cat London…she is pretty adorable.

What’s your favorite dinner?
Crab cakes and a nice glass of wine….yummy!
What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
Honestly…Twilight
What was the last thing you bought? (to wear)
A green polka dot skirt, new flip flops, some tank tops and a green shirt with a patchwork turtle on it…I may have gone a little overboard at Oldnavy this week.

What are you listening to right now?
The travel channel is on in the background and my cat is wheezing in the couch next to me.
What is your favorite weather?
Well I have 2 favorites: in the spring/fall when the temp. is between 65 and 75 degrees and it’s sunny and slightly windy. My second favorite is a nice warm summer evening when everyone is outside and the birds sing until midnight.
Tea or Coffee?
I love both, but am currently on cup #3 of coffee for today so we will go with that.
What did you want to become as a child?
I wanted to become an actress and tried to be in all the school plays in elementary and middle school. I blame it on the loud Anderson voice and the need to be the center of attention!
If you could go anywhere in the wold for the next hour, where would you go?
I would go to the Scottish Highlands for an amazing view and a dram of the good whiskey.
Who do you want to meet in person?
My favorite author, Diana Gabaldon, is coming to Jackson Michigan for a book signing next week and I cannot wait to go and meet her! She wrote the ‘Outlander‘ series that has become a major part of my library.

What is your most challenging goal right now?
At some point this summer I want to get a good amount of my photography printed, enlarged and mounted and start selling locally. I need to get my lazy behind motivated and start photographing this beautiful spring!
What is your weirdest obsession?
One day living somewhere that no snakes live. And Ireland does not count, because they have legless lizards there, and lets face it that is as close to a snake as you can get!
Why did you start a blog?
I started smamphoto to get myself back into the photography world. Nothing makes you really work on your stuff like putting it out there for other people to see. It has been almost a relief to still be doing some photography, though my job has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with it.
Which blogs are you obsessed with at the moment?
I like checking:
switz~art
beccame
[daily dose of imagery]
A beautiful Mess
Le Love
What’s your blog about? (give me a 2-3 sentence elevator pitch)
Smamphoto is about my world through the eyes of my Canon. I photograph and write about my day to day and the images that I come across that really strike and excite me.
What is your dream job? ( realistic or unrealistic)
Working for National Geographic as a wildlife and nature photographer. It is a dream job that doesn’t have to be unrealisitc, but seem so much that way.
What is your favorite brand of jeans?
Any jeans that fit!!! When you have a 27 inch inseam you take what you can get!

Who is your favorite designer at the moment?
I don’t really have a favorite, but I always enjoy the clean look of Ralph Lauren. Not that my poor behind can afford it, but it’s nice to dream, right?
One thing you would snitch out of someone’s closet, with no regrets?
My little sister just had her Senior prom and her dress was so gorgeous! If I had an actual fancy something to go to, I would steal that in a heartbeat!
Which designer piece of clothing would you most like to won? (new or vintage)
There was a t-shirt on Threadless that was a called “Robot dance contest“. It sold out before I could buy it and I have needed it ever since!
