Wandering the Northwest: Limited Edition Prints to Benefit Ameriface
I haven’t had spare time for much lately, especially for posting images from my personal collection/travels and helping out my favorite non-profit, Ameriface. So, I thought I’d do a little of both today! Below are a few of my favorite film shots from this year. They are available as limited edition 8×8 prints for $85 [...]
Photos of Nicaragua: Remote Beautiful Playa Santana
Much to the displeasure of several groups of large cows laying in barricade formation, we made our way down the long dirt road to Buena Onda. Since the original goal for our trip had been to surf, we were ecstatic to be nearing the ocean. The color palate we were greeted with was much more [...]
Photos of Nicaragua: Gritty Colorful Granada
I’ve never been one to feel fear – especially when it comes to traveling. However, suddenly, when I got married I started having a lot of apprehensions. When we started planning our first big trip as a married couple to Nicaragua I did something I’ve never really done before embarking to a new land, research. Googling a foreign country is kind of like googling [...]
Custom Encaustic Photographs: Snow & Mountains
To fully understand the glory of encaustic photographs (brushing/layering wax over photographs), you kind of have to see, feel, and even smell one first. Once you have, however, you’re in love. That’s what happened to Don when he saw a piece I had made for his nephew. Since making art for people, working with hot [...]
Landscape Photography: Spring Daffodils
The other day, Josh was a startled by a sound coming from outside. I thought he was hearing things – most likely the stove whistling a bit – but Josh waved me over near the kitchen window and there it was, the unmistakable sound of birds chirping. It was then that I realized Spring was [...]
Travel Photography: Pacific Beach, WA
A couple of weeks ago, I was able to get a nice hunk of down time out on the coast with some of my closest peops. I mean, serious down time. What I didn’t do was look at a computer. My cell phone didn’t even have service **GASP**. What we did do was eat amazing [...]
Maternity Portraits: Alki Mom-To-Be
The air was so cold out last Saturday that the air was twinkling with tiny ice crystals. The coolest thing of all though happened when I walked in the door and Merkys offered me a cup of hot tea. She had remembered that I mentioned I was a tea lover when we first spoke about doing maternity [...]
Portraits: Happy Birthday, Josh!
I could easily post a photograph of Josh, my husband, every day. He’s just so gosh darn good looking and smiley and funny and awesome and always doing cool stuff. Sigh. Since time is short these days though, the world will just have to settle for an annual Josh portrait blast on his birthday. Below [...]
Harstene Island : 400NC 35mm Film
Normally, it would drive me crazy not to develop film right away, but it is actually really nice to look through my summer shots now as I’m trying to ignore how frigid it is becomming outside. Anyway, the below images are from a trip to Harstene Island where I tried something new and something old. I usually reach for film that [...]
Fall Entertainment: A Spider and Good Music
Fall entertainment at the Brincko home – a spider building a web, time lapse photography, and a little music by Abby Rose. Good stuff:)
