Mexico by iPhone

Saturday, August 20th, 2011

Last month I went to Mexico to second shoot on a wedding for La Dolce Vita Photography. I decided to travel light.  I brought my pro gear for the wedding, but used only my iPhone for personal photos.

Here’s the airport welcome, a giant Corona.  I just had to chuckle when I saw that.

And here’s our vacation condo welcome.  Maybe they thought we were honeymooners?

First requirement:  go to the beach and shake off the airplane hangover.

Then go get a touristy but locally sourced coconut drink:

Then go eat chips, guac and splurge on some sipping tequila.

Then to sleep…rest up for the wedding day!

lawyer at work

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

I met Bill while playing roller hockey.  He was on my team and despite his many penalties that frequently left us short handed (not a suggested hockey game winning strategy), he was funny and witty and drew animations for fun.  After 16 or so years of friendship, I finally got to see him at his job.  He’s a lawyer (with all the usual documents taking over his office…that is like every other law office I’ve seen and tells you how hard lawyers work), but a lawyer who wears Felix the Cat socks and has a figurine on his desk of Andy Warhol as a super hero.  Here he is humoring me and pretending to be examining Exhibit A or something or other.

Converse sneakers in black and white.

Converse sneakers, black on white checker (me).  Silver sparkly on black checker (Yvette).  At the groovy new mall in Santa Monica (did I really just say that a mall was groovy?)

the boxes in Brian’s garage

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011

These are the top secret boxes in Brian’s garage.  I’m not allowed to tell you what’s inside of them.  I actually don’t know what’s inside.  They’re that secret.

happy birthday to Fred, my sudoku supplier

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Fred sends me sudokus all the way from Los Angeles.  I duly complete them (it’s how I fall asleep at night, kind of like counting sheep only instead I count…numbers…of all things).

As an ever grateful friend, I constructed a customized Fred sign out of sudokus for his birthday.  What more could anyone want for their birthday, right?
