Photowalk

Every year in October, for one entire weekend, Scott Kelby (publisher of Photoshop magazine), hosts a Photowalk which is located all over the world. Photographers get together in their nearby city, wander around for the day and just take photos. Choice photos can then be submitted and a winning photo is chosen. The photos are amazing.

Although this isn't the winner, this is my favorite from this year's top picks.

Fractals you can eat

My mom belongs to a CSA, where she gets an abundance of vegetables she tries to push off on me. I was sent home with this thing... that the woman at the CSA claimed to be broccoli.




I don't know what it is, but I had fun taking photos of it. After the little veggie's photo shoot was over I gave it to a co-worker. :)

Half portrait, half profile?

These are very odd photos... you have to check them out because I'm not sure how I could even explain them while doing justice. Plus they're very interesting to view.

NYC Expo Findings #1

Professional Women Photographers
Based out of NYC, this group of around 200 women photographers support, promote and learn from each other. There are different levels of membership, and for those of you who live more than 150 miles from NYC have a discounted membership. Meetings are once a month and you get access to workshops and studio tours, among other things.

Society for Photographic Education
Explained best by their website: "The Society for Photographic Education is a nonprofit membership organization that provides a forum for the discussion of photography and related media as a means of creative expression and cultural insight." It also seems like it is geared towards educators.

Pixiq: Voice Your Vision
This seems to be a cool website to check back on. Everything from reviews, to galleries, to How-To's, to many other things that will keep you occupied for a while. Worth bookmarking.

International Center of Photography
They have events, classes, book signings with photographers....Also a museum and shop, very dangerous! I bought several things while I was up there for the expo. Somehow I have made it to the shop twice, but haven't had time to visit the museum. Perhaps my next visit.

Trip Back In Time #2

Taken at my great grandmother's house. Unedited, as is.

Random Rooster

I was flipping through Architectural Digest when I came upon this ad.



After I stopped my hysterical laughter, I showed my roommate and joked around about how I bet they have a half naked Latino woman in an ad.

I wandered the internet and found this on their website.




I was close.


Anyway, as hilarious as their ads are, they have some fantastic woodwork.





Ps. The ad with the Latino man now resides in a frame along with my wall of family photos.

Sneaky Jungle

My apartment is slowly turning into a jungle. Every time I stop at the farmer's market or grocery store I have to convince myself to not bring home a new plant. I'm not sure why I am obsessed with our leafy little friends, and I'm sure my roommate has been wondering the same thing.

This little beauty works perfectly for others who want to sneak more plants into their homes.



Check out this website to see more of their work.
