photographic milestones
I got a new camera!! My very first camera was a 35mm SLR: a Nikon FG-20. It was a hand-me-down from my mom and I loved it. I used to walk around my yard and my neighborhood as a teenager, snapping photos of anything and everything (but rarely people). I remained a faithful Nikon photographer when… Continue reading

I’m starting to get back into the Pacific Northwest vibe now that I’m home. It’s been a typical PNW winter since we returned last week, with lots of clouds and drizzle, but that makes the sunny days all the more beautiful. It’s a good excuse to get out and go for a walk (especially in the… Continue reading

Slovenia was special. I’ll be up front about the fact that before we started planning this trip, I didn’t know that much about Slovenia (even having lived in a bordering country, Hungary, for a year). A small country on the Adriatic Sea, sandwiched between Italy and Croatia, it has a population of just over two million… Continue reading

some thoughts
We’re really into the meat of our trip now (or if the trip is a chausson aux pommes, we’re into the gooey pastry filling). It’s nice to take a step back from the daily routine – home and work truly feel lightyears away – and we’ve seen some incredible stuff. I’ve been thinking about food, too.… Continue reading

Barbara borrowed my hat when it started snowing on us. Friday was spent at the National Museum and ended with a fashion show, a precursor to Saturday’s events. I didn’t take any photos at the museum (though Cirilia did take a handful of them), but if you’re interested in Iceland’s history even a little bit, I feel like the National… Continue reading

updates and miscellany
I went to the Ballard Locks today in search of signs of spring and found some early blooms! I may love winter, but I can’t help but look forward to the start of cherry blossom season every year. I baked some shortbread cookies a few days ago and frosted them with lavender buttercream. They turned out pretty… Continue reading

a few updates
I’m back in Seattle after a few weeks of travel over the holidays, and it feels quite good to be back in the office and working again. I had a lot of fun on my travels, though. Here are a few things I’ve been up to: I spent the new year in Oslo, which was… Continue reading

signs of autumn in ballard
When I need a break at work, I like to take walks around the neighborhood (and maybe stop for a donut at the coffee shop up on the hill…), and I’ve been enjoying them more than usual lately. Here are just a few signs of fall from around (and in) the Paper Tiger studio. Continue reading
