Creative juices really flow when I have some music on. I have been on this pop music stint and these are my favorites from these last couple weeks. They’re pretty much all about dancing. Move your body, out on the floor Put your troubles aside And start living Anybody can let go Throw away...

The best part of trance performances is the light performers that show up to do their thing on the dancefloors off the main floor. Pretty epic good time watching these guys. I had to get really creative with my point and shoot to get this. I wish there was a way to sneak in your DSLR but...

A shot from the Paul Van Dyk Concert this past weekend during one of the smoke blows from the ceiling. Opera is an awesome club. Also, yes you can get creative with a point and shoot in low light.  These shots were taken with slow synchro flash. What an epic...

The Internets is a big smorgasbord of stuff. And it can be quite educational.  I’m going to try to share with you every Friday the wonderful knowledge the internets has bestowed upon me that week.  Here’s this week’s lessons. Always start mondays reading stuff like 10...

Or was it coffee? I can’t remember. I think it’s coffee, maybe. Whatever, now it’s green....

I’m not sure this is the best way to handle every situation…. bad advice...

I was part of a group of about 30 people out to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Reservations were made back in December for this past Saturday night (22nd of January). Once enough people arrived we were seated in a separate room and the waiters started taking drink orders. I ordered a...

The final fires of the sunset die into the dark blues of the ocean off of the Naples coast. I am itching to go there in February...

The ship flew this flag as we headed in towards shore during the sunset.  Just something glorious about God’s atmospheric art and a little American patriotism stirred...

Champagne has to be the most fun bottled drink ever! Fun fact: it was known as the devil’s wine for a while in the early part of it’s history since it liked to bust a cap and then smoke like the breath of the devil himself! FYI, overlapping bokeh = win.  Dirty bokeh though....

The way I fell in love with this state, you’d think I was born to live there. Maybe I’m just an ocean girl deep inside. An ocean girl and a city girl. I guess I’ll have to live in Miami one...

This looks eerily similar to a dream home I visit in my sleep.  I took this photo off the coast of Naples, Florida during a sunset cruise.  Part of the ride involves watching stretches of exclusive homes owned by the wealthy and admiring their unique architecture. I would not mind living...

I was browsing some dubstep music and I heard this song and thought to myself  “hmm… that voice sounds awfully familiar”. So I looked it up and to my surprise it was MILEY CYRUS. Yes, the same disney curated teen pop idol whose music had most recently annoyed me was singing...

The last of it is finally melting off the roads. We still have inches on our lawns and backyards. My deck still has a solid 4 inches at least since it sits in the shade of the house all day.  I’m going to work today....

Smoked Salmon Bites served at Fado’ in Midtown. Traditional cold oak-smoked salmon on crisp boxty “blini” with capers, onions, light horseradish sauce and lemon. If  you haven’t been, I suggest you take a visit. It’s one of my favorite...

While flipping through Netflix during this winter shut-in, the show Undercover Boss scrolled onto my screen. I saw one episode a few months ago at a Hilton Resort in Key Largo  for the company 1-800-Flowers. The premise is that the CEO of a large company goes undercover for a week,...

This is the second day I’ve been forced to work from home since the ice in my neighborhood is thick and not really navigable. The resulting scenery however is spectacular. If it wasn’t so dangerous I would have definitely driven out to one of the numerous parks in the area to have a look...

The nearly clear legs of this spider accent the background so well! By the way, I pretty much hate spiders and had to take this from pretty far away....

So, two exciting things happened today. One, we got some epic snow in Atlanta, where I live. It’s pretty darn rare to get a big serving of fluffy weather like this so most of us are thrilled. Two, I got the epic swarm badge for checking into Snowmageddon ‘11 on foursquare. Yes, this...

This was taken after the rain in early 2009. I have always had a mini love affair with water droplets. I loved using them as their own little lenses, capturing a scene on their own within the image.  You can sort of see the driveway, the lawn and some trees in this one. Because water...

Atlanta has some seriously messed up looking clouds before we get any sort of inclement weather. I’m hoping this means an epic snow this...

If I knew how to paint landscapes I would paint this one. Taken at McDaniel Farm...

It’s amazing what a little whipped cream and chocolate shavings with a toss of cinnamon will do for a...

So I just totally bought these three movies on Blu-ray. Now, to understand what I big deal this is, you have to know that I have never bought a DVD in my life. Rented from redbox or blockbuster, sure, but I’ve never spent the $$ to start any sort of video collection. However, this year I...

Nothing is camouflaged as well when converted to black and...

I like friends. :) And lemon...

I’m trying to expand my definition of ‘beautiful’. Maybe the death of something can be beautiful...

A quibble [a pun or a riddle] is to Shakespeare what luminous vapors are to the traveler; he follows it at all adventures; it is sure to lead him out of his way and sure to engulf him in the mire. It has some malignant power over his mind, and its fascinations are irresistible. Whatever be...

Dried weeds on a nature trail. Although winter is my least favorite time of year, this time I’m spending more hours outdoors and I’m discovering a few more beautiful things about the...

I get about 20+ comments a day but from people who I have no idea who they are across the communities I post my work and stuff. BUT when someone I’ve met in real life says something, it’s like a hundred times better. It’s also fun to look at the map of daily visitors and see the cities...
