Developed some film...

Eric just developed some film from his 1970s Nikkormat EL. Here are some favorites, taken during our visits to Hong Kong and Macau last October.

The Paper Bride

As a print designer, it is rough going to Barnes and Noble only to be disappointed by the ugly, dated collection of wedding planning books. But today, I lucked out and found this diamond in the rough - The Paper Bride. Written by Esther K. Smith, this book is a mecca for DIY wedding paper creations. Esther includes simple diagrams and sensible recommendations - perfect for a bride trying to keep her sanity! She is also the author of How to Make Books and owns the letterpress company, Purgatory Press. She has been called the best invitation designer in New York. "All brides go insane - in a positive way." - Esther K.

Happy Trails

We rode horses at Fort Valley Ranch. The ranch offers ample cabins, camping, trail rides that will clear your head, and real hot cocoa by the campfire.

Grist Mill Cabin

We stayed two nites at Grist Mill Cabin for our weekend getaway. A friend recommended allstarrentals.com, and this place promised to be charming and historic. Built next to a mill, General Custer actually burned down most of its original structure during the Civil War! We were in awe of the photogenic charm and character of the cabin. Also, the owner greeted us with fresh milk, eggs, butter, and local sausage and ground coffee! Located in Quicksburg, VA, it was the perfect atmosphere in which to relax and rejuvenate.

....And this is how we'll be, 50 years from now. :)

A Valentine's Getaway

We spent an adventurous yet rejuvenating weekend in the Shenandoah Mountains. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the glorious Luray Caverns. So much natural, photogenic beauty! At every turn, a photographer can shoot stunning abstracted textures and sculptures. Everyone should visit this natural wonder. We'll be featuring a few more photo sets from our trip, so check back soon! Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours.
