Something in the way she moves. 

Reminiscing over pictures of the la belle mer.

The moms are visiting this week and next! I love having my mom around and I've made a list of things that I want to do with her. We'll go hiking, visit the botanical gardens, and tour cheese makers, breweries, and vineyards! We'll drive to the coast and stop at Karla's for smoked tuna and oysters. I'll take her to $2 Tuesdays for a pint of craft brew. We'll shop and walk the city with coffee from Barista and laugh. I know that she misses me on the east coast, but has always wanted a reason to move westward.

This photograph is so beautiful that it makes my heart pound ever more quickly. You must see it in its full glory here. Oh the colors and the depth!

One another note, this site is hilarious. (Warning unsavory language.)

I'm loving this video of the making of Bird, a wonderful new photography book by Andrew Zuckerman. It makes me miss Sunny, a cockatiel that I grew up with. Actually, I've been in the habit of missing all of my favorite animals lately.

Autumn is quickly slipping away from us this year. This weekend ushered in the grey, cold, wet New York winter. I will miss the golden hues and am eager to get back to Napa for Thanksgiving.

Natural architecture and landscape of the Arctic.

Crackling, caving, flipping, breaking, submersion, and exposure over tens of thousands of years.

A collection of some of my photographs from our trip to Scoresby Sund in Greenland.

Summer makes me feel like a kid.

Oh, and I'm going to win the next office bake-off with homemade cookies, ice cream, and these.

Labor Day is here and the fall is on its way, so let's have one more dip in the sea.

I will be visiting the places of my childhood next week. This photograph from German-born Stefanie Schneider really reminds me of my grandmother's garden in Poland. I wonder if will be the same as when I left it.

Breakfast is served

California-based photographer Jon Huck wonders how everyone chooses to start their day. Huck photographed over 100 of his friends and their morning breakfast routines. The results are oddly intriguing. His recent projects include Couples for which Huck chronicles his friends' relationships. The pairs of photographs that result are similarly voyeuristic but highlight the uniquely personal attraction between people.
