Well, this picture was definitely not taken on June 6th...a few weeks before, actually. But again, I accidentally deleted the picture I had taken on that day. (I am my own worst enemy, picture blog!) This is Matilda, EV's mom's Australian Shepard. She was so sweet and adorable...I really loved playing with her during our visit. She was probably a lil' too big to be a lap dog, but no matter! This now brings Jan's total dog count to four. One more and she'll be required to have a kennel owner's permit! I think she may be done, though. Two dauchsands, a german shepard, and an australian shepard is probably enough!

peaced.
my friday night consisted of a fire, 2 freshly washed dogs, a sleepy husband, dark chocolate brownies, ryan adams cd on repeat, too much red wine and my new nintendo ds... life is slow but pretty damn good lately.
Not much in the can today, but we did get a little visitor to the big tree over the garage.
There were three pigeons preening and this guy looking for something eat.
The view is a bit grimy because I was shooting through the kitchen window!
This is mad, isn't?
It's a bottle of glue that seems to have sprung some kind of leak from the cap whilst it has been in a drawer.
The glue has worked its way out and formed a rock hard bubble crown around the top.
I haven't had the heart to break it off yet!
Claire, Angela, and I sat on the porch and watched the rain on the last day of July. The US election is now less than 100 days away. Trump had a pretty bad weekend - attacks on the family of a fallen soldier, and he has started laying the groundwork for weaseling out of the debates. Hillary rigged the debate schedule, it conflicts with a couple early-season NFL games. Sad! ;)
Our photography guest speaker today: Gilles Larrain. He moved here from New York a few years back. He's photographed people such as David Bowie and John Lennon, and looking through his book Idols (2011), I am very impressed with this man's work. Here's a part of an excerpt from his book that inspired me: "'Drag queens were a representation of New York City to me [...] There's not a lot of documentation of drag queens in this era. You can tell by the photos that they very much wanted to be seen, they wanted to be documented, because they were otherwise invisible. They were outside of society.' [...] by photographing them, he made these people into the people they wanted to be." I hope to do some work that'll create an effect like this on others someday. I've learned a lot from this man in just 2 hours. Can't wait to head to his studio on Wednesday to do some portrait photography!
