good little things






my photo appeared in this book! the image is of my husband chuck standup paddleboarding the owen's river, in the eastern sierras, california. through partially frozen water, i paddled my kayak, to get this photo. taken with a vintage pentax super me, and black and white ilford film. our mountain ~ river adventure was written about here. thank you very much photographer's forum!
a new shawl just off the needles, more photos to come, it's so very coldfoggyrainy outside i am happier just now to stay indoors...

(shawl blocking the other evening)

p.s. chuck has a new website for his photography, we're very excited about it. it can be tricky to get it just the way you'd like. if you would like to have a look, go here. my favorite is stock list, africa is in there! i hope you are staying warm and cozy this weekend. xoxo

    What an amazing photo Lori. Congratulations.
    Visited Chuck's new website, It's great, he is so talented.
    Love the shawl, how fast do you knit!!
    Wonderful shot of your house, it looks like something out of a children's fairy tale book.

    Aww this is such a nice post. Chuck must love that photo: both the natural world and him look pretty darn gorgeous!

    I feel like you do about chilly damn dsys. I want to stay in and do whatever. The difference is your sun will soon bring warmth again and my yard will hold it's frozen snow until mid march or beyond :-)

    Congratulations on having your shot published in a "Best of Photography" book! It's certainly not the least bit surprising. I think ALL of your shots should be in a Best of book! That shot is incredible. Exquisite textures and composition!
