Green, small, fresh and soft
I despise you and your taste
tiny barf nuggets, green peas….
foggy morning, evergreen

You are my baby
Your breath smells like dead fishies
I love you anyway
C’mon, let’s get our Haiku on!
February 24, 2010What is a Haiku? According to the Web, it’s a 3 lined verse with only 17 syllables or less. The first line often has 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables and the third line 5 syllables. The verse cannot be composed of more than 17 syllables, cannot have more than 3 lines and cannot rhyme.
Here is my feeble attempt….C’mon, let’s play! Respond with a Haiku!
I can feel the breeze
Salty warmth and ocean waves
I’m in paradise
Destination Wedding – Anacortes, Washington
February 24, 2010My good friend, Joey Broccardo, referred me a destination wedding since he was unavailable…..It so happened that Michael, the groom, was a former classmate from photography school! I was thrilled and on board for the wedding immediately!! We arrived a few days before the shoot to take in the scenic landscape and beautiful weather and did a quick and impromptu engagement session….more wedding photos to come! Michael and Violet had a beautiful garden wedding with some great details!!
Urban Exploration
February 22, 2010People are curious by nature. When you involve old, abandoned and dilapidated buildings, risk and danger along with a camera, the curiosity is almost unbearable. You think….”what’s in there?”…”is it cool?”….”what kind of images can I make?”….etc. Urban Exploration is something really fun yet scary to do. I’m not the most adventuresome person when it comes to this, but I do like to see what’s inside of these buildings!! Sometimes, there is art to be made (and seen!)…..Be sure to check out my friend Mark’s Blog…it’s always more to go exploring with a friend! Thanks for looking! PS….I have more to show from a creepy hospital…stay tuned!

Swimming with Dolphins
February 21, 2010One of the most touching and awe inspiring things that I have ever done is swim with wild dolphins. People that are close to me know that I have a “thing” for dolphins. My family swears that I have gills hidden somewhere on my body. I was nicknamed “Paige-eee the Porpoise” when I was a kid. One of my lifelong dreams is to be in the water with wild animals and swim with them – no matter what they are (except I don’t care for jellyfish so much). So, when the opportunity came up to possibly swim with the dolphins, I was there! I can’t explain the experience. They are playful, curious and oh so beautiful. They come just close enough to touch, but they never do. You can hear their wild and wonderful squeals and squeaks underwater. This is something I hope I can do again and again, year after year. Enjoy!
A Tropical Collage
February 20, 2010Here is a collage I made for my house. I just had to create some tropical inspiration to hang on my wall and remind me about my trip!
Sand, Sea and Sky
February 20, 2010When I was on my beach sabbatical, I took my camera everywhere, especially in the water!!! During this exploration of waves, I was trying to get a photo of a wave as it formed but before crashing onto the beach. I can’t tell you how hard underwater photography is! Needless to say, this isn’t the shot, but I love it nonetheless!!
