Well you only turn one once…so my Goddaughter did it in the most messy way possible..as you should.

This summer was filled with small trips.  I went to Newark and Columbus to see the family and for Paige’s first birthday.  Then my sisters came up to stay in Perrysburg with me and we went on a trip of our own.

Summer is supposed to be spent on the water…well as much time as you can anyways.

Then after our trip to Sandusky, I came home to work…a lot.  Finally another break came just in time for Labor Day weekend.  I spent Sunday at Seth’s parents house to celebrate his Dad’s birthday and the birth of another baby alpaca.  We arrived just short of the birth, an hour and a half later.  It was a great summer day and if Fall wasn’t on the way then I might actually miss summer.

After our weekend adventures in Pittsburgh this weekend, my friend in Jean and I decided that I should change the travel channel show Samantha Brown, to Samantha Anderson. So if anyone wants to pay me to travel and have fun weekends, please feel free to let me know.

Here are some pictures from when we went kayaking for the first time…..and no Sam in the water hooray!

After Kayaking we went to the zoo.

Besides the beauty of the zoo, we also got blown away by the great view and breeze from the Wenner’s home.

And last but not least the views from the top of the Pittsburgh incline.

Best Weekend Ever Part 2

So I finally got the website back up and running…not being able to put up some of the pictures I have been taking has been driving me crazy…I guess the inspiration IS back…hooray!! But a lot has changed in the past few weeks. We had some crazy storms…as you can tell from the above pictures over my old apartment. Thats right old apartment. I am definitely missing living with Seth and Becca, but it’s very nice having my own space with all my things comfortingly around me.

I have also left my old work local at Franklin Park and have recently been transferred back to Levis Commons, way closer to downtown Perrsyburg where I now live in a small place above a massage place. Blissfully quiet. Above are some of the pictures of the lovely flowers the ladies gave me upon my leaving.

My brother is also in Morocco studying abroad so hopefully some pictures from there will be soon available upon his return. For now, I’m headed down to the river to read…downtown definitely has its advantages.

It’s good to be back.

My Brother left for a summer to study abroad.  I got to home for a whopping 24 hrs. to see him, but it was a good day.  Between my jealousy of his travelling and my inevitable worrying, its going to be a long summer.  Here are some pictures from my home:

These are pictures of my roommates studio. I love the gold leaf and the fact that after you leave the studo there are bits of gold leaf all over you, your stuff and bits in your hair. It floats over the carpet like small shiny tumbleweeds. You can also stick it to your skin…just saying.

Just getting some old stuff up, it’s nice just to go back and edit through old things though. Once I am done with the old stuff I think I might be ready for new. Spring cleaning right?

To escape the monotony of my daily grind, I wanted to get back into my work. With the help of my friend Seth, I now can post some recent work, pics of my life, and the different things happening in my small bubble. It has been hard getting into my photography while working in a field that is at the total opposite end of the spectrum from what I really want to inevitably do. The following pictures are from the past couple months and will hopefully lead to some ideas for some future projects….and hopefully I can stay motivated.
