First Day of School
Well, tomorrow the students are back to school. Teachers were back last week in Virginia Beach. We have classes to take, classrooms to set up, and copies to make. It is a lot of work.
I am all ready, except for a few seating charts I will finish tonight when my daughter goes to bed.
It was a strange summer, good, but strange! I was on a few textbook committees, I had a class to take. Then our air conditioner died, my car battery died, I broke my Blackberry...it was odd! I did not rest and sleep in. I got up and worked on my dolls and my Etsy shop.
When I got back in the classroom last week, it felt good. I felt back on schedule. It will most likely change tomorrow and I will wish we were back at the beach!
I had a wonderful time with my husband and daughter. We had so much fun together all summer.
It will be hard to see her walk into her 3rd grade classroom tomorrow morning...where did my baby go???? And my husband will be at another school for part of the day this year. (We have worked together for ten years).
So there are adjustments to make, but I am excited to see those smiling faces, well most of them at least. I teach art, and it is Middle school, but most of them smile!
So I am off to Fall...here are some last minute photos of what I am working on and me and my cat Macy. Happy Fall everyone!

Day 250
Another Japan poptpop in honor of today's wedding. Caleb & Laura got married today at an amazing place in Leeds and I REALLY wanted to develop it tonight i am just too tired. poptPoint is there was a HUGE poptpop-off marathon today shooting the girls. Bryan was shooting the girls, devries was 4x5ing that, paul was shooting bryan shooting the girls, i was shooting all of that, and branden was 8mm'ing all of THAT. AND! I think Alan was in on it too..I just can't remember.
I'm hoping for nothing short of Epic 4x5s from this wedding.
Caleb decided to do it in an interesting way. He grabbed a bunch of people he knows who take pictures (though perhaps not everyone he knows, as I think everything was practically double covered) and had them each take a part. I shot the guys, and few frames of them together right after plus two frames of family/wedding party. 19 frames of 4x5 (one got jacked in the holder. misloaded. oh well), a roll of lomo, 2.66 rolls of 1V and two rolls of rollei. pretty sure it was an all-film wedding which is exciting.
And GOD the MUSIC was unreal.
Shots from that as soon as asap. Stephanie just moved here TODAY (woohoooo!) and will be settling in for a few days no doubt, but I'm planning on cramming the developing in sometime really soon.
P.S. — 250 days into Electric Lion mark ii. weird.

Day 249
Another random one from Japan.
Caleb gets married tomorrow.
Stephanie moves to Birmingham tomorrow.
I get to shoot 4x5 tomorrow.
Lots of good things happening this weekend.
The above shot was from just walking around Tokyo with Nicole. It was somewhere near the fish market area, but I don't remember exactly where. Anyone know Japanese?

A reminder of how awesome Amy Stein's body of work is... I'm looking forward to even more.

Maybe the most interesting is her project called "stranded" take a look at the map. For me, this is very interesting to see where all of these photos were taken, some of them are very close to home in terms of location for me.
