While I was working there, we had stopped in briefly after dinner to take some photos before heading home. Shaun took a serious gamble.He understood my love… Continue reading Young Love
The plane rolled up to the jet bridge and I nervously gathered up my carry-ons. I had just arrived in Kansas City, MO and to be quite honest, I didn’t know what to expect.

“I would love to showcase your work at my gallery!” “Huh?!” The words moved around on my screen, the room got dizzy, and I remembered to breathe. Someone wants to showcase *my* work? Never before have I heard the words, evocative and relatable, said to describe my photography - and even better, I have to… Continue reading My Very Own Art Gallery Showing – Help!
The butterflies in my stomach started early on. This year, like all good things in Austin, the 2014 Miracoco Luminarium had a line going around the building like we were waiting outside Studio 54. All I wanted to do was get in. I become a kid again at this art installment and I was desperate… Continue reading Traveling Art: 2014 Luminarium Miracoco
“Beware of the white faced monkeys. They work together with the raccoons to steal your things.” I rolled my eyes. Yeah, right. How can there be such a thing as interspecies cahoots? What we witnessed was just that at Manuel Antonio National Park. They get you when you are at your most vulnerable. Sleeping sunbathers… Continue reading Manuel Antonio National Park: Monkeys, Raccoons, and Thieves – OH MY!
I’m a moaner. Not like that, you perv. I find myself moaning awkwardly when eating a meal that knows exactly what my taste buds need. It doesn’t even have to be mind-blowing but for some reason the moment that I have deliciousness touch my flavor receptors, a mind explosion happens and it just comes out.… Continue reading My Coffee Connoisseur Meal Made Me Moan at Finca Rosa Blanca, Costa Rica
