…is national childhood cancer awareness month.
no parent should ever hear the words “your child has cancer“.
no family should ever have their lives turned upside down because of cancer.
no child should suffer from cancer.
no parent should ever lose their child to cancer.
no parent should ever be left with a shattered heart and empty arms.
please join me in spreading the word and raising awareness of childhood cancer.
what can YOU do?
read.
learn.
share (blog, facebook, twitter).
donate.
recognize.
be aware and…
help bring childhood cancer and it’s research to the forefront.

remember this post?
you can do something as simple as spreading the word to others to run on september 11th and donate. just imagine, if this spread to 5,000 people and each person donated only $5. together, we would raise $25,000. you can donate via my blog post or via max’s dad’s blog post. please donate…they have $780 left to reach their goal of $2000. and i hope you’ll be joining me for a one-mile run on september 11th, no matter where you are. if for any reason, you’re unsure, just take one minute to read this, or this or this.
please help spread the word!
in closing, i want to share and remember these two amazing boys, who lost their battle against the terrible beast — neuroblastoma. remembering sam and max and their amazing families. love you guys!!
…when you go to ebay and you see that polaroid 600 film is $5-plus per PICTURE. in other words, one pack of polaroid 600 film is $50+ plus shipping.
when i first started shooting polaroid with my SX70 camera, it was $1.50 per picture and that wasn’t all that long ago. when i left kansas (in june), it was $3 per picture.
one can purchase 600 film from the impossible project WHEN they have it; it’s out of stock most of the time. and my last pack from there was terrible — very yellow and almost every photo was…well…very yellow and not so great. so i’m not that confident in 600 film from the impossible project at the moment. although i’ve had my fair share of bad polaroid film from ebay too.
i’ve also tried TZ artistic and PX polaroid film and i’m just not a fan.
i’m sad as i seriously long to shoot 600 film with my SX70.
it all makes the polaroids that i have that much more amazing. and it makes me adore my instant recall gallery that much more. i might just have to frame a polaroid or two in our new house (aka the mini-castle).
in closing and with a tear in my eye, i share a few of my polaroid favorites…
p.s. okay, maybe no tears but i really am sad.
p.s.s. on a most-incredible-happy note, we’re officially closing on the mini-castle tomorrow. walk-thru in 15 minutes. :-)))
i didn’t make it into the art of photography show this year, which is okay…anyone who’s submitted to exhibitions knows that you win some and you lose a hell of a lot more. but how cool is it that KPBS selected my photo to use in their this year’s art of photography show write-up.
if you’re in san diego, i highly recommend attending the show. i will definitely be visiting the show, when i’m in san diego for my client sessions, this october. i wish i was going to be there on august 29th, to hear natashan egan’s (juror) talk. i so loved hearing the juror speak last year.
i’m not sure i’ll ever have an image quite like this one — special, for so many reasons!!
it’s that time again to begin coordinating my san diego fall children and family photography sessions.
i will be photographing in san diego october 14th – 16th. and possibly the 17th. please email me if interested in commissioning a session.
i can’t wait to be back in san diego. i will be photographing a few families for the fourth year in a row and…it just happens to be my birthday.
so excited!!
