The fire charmer

Earlier in January I was able to visit my other family who are located in Tennessee. One of many talents in the family is one who can charm fire, and luckily enough I had brought my camera with me that night. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I did taking them!

Joffrey Ballet Nutcracker Tree @ Four Seasons Chicago

Love love this tree at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago. Wonderfully decorated by the Joffrey Ballet. Covered with worn ballet shoes and adorable nutcrackers.

holiday events

To celebrate my sister’s birthday, we went to the Peninsula for their awesome Brunch. It was absolutely delicious! And I couldn’t resist taking a few ‘mini’ shots of the city that I love and the gorgeous decorations the Peninsula had put up. ps We passed Colin Farrell on the way in. Did not stop to take a photo or for an autograph, my eyes were on the prize and the prize was bacon.

Cloud Gate at Cloud Gate

I had the most fantastic opportunity this past Tuesday to photograph the amazing performance company: Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan at Cloud Gate Chicago. Below are some of my favorites. They are performing at Harris Theater this upcoming weekend: http://www.harristheaterchicago.org/events/2011-2012-season/water-stains

Shadow

One of my favorite things to photograph is the Student Performance Nights at Columbia College Chicago. The students perform without boundaries and it shows that they are fearless in experimenting with dance.

mini adventures

I am totally in love with my point & shoot camera from canon, the g12, and my favorite part of it is the miniature setting. I went on a small break with my family this past weekend up to Wisconsin, and as you can tell I used the mini setting a lot. The photos were taken in Ephraim and in Egg Harbor WI.

I recently got the most amazing point and shoot camera from Canon, it is pretty fantastic. My favorite feature of it is the possibility to make things seem ‘miniature’, like the first photo below taken at Tampa, FL. The rest were taken around the Cayman Islands, Isla Roatan, and Belize. 

Honestly had no idea that string rays could be this huge. MASSIVE!

Portland OREGON

I recently visited a friend of mine who lives in Portland, and luckily it happened to coincide with Portland’s First Thursday. First Thursday is when the galleries of Portland open their doors, and have receptions. It was great to walk around, see the different galleries, artworks and people out. Below are some images I took while we wondered around the Pacific Northwest College of Art. 

General reception area with tons of off spaces with different art works.

Ok, does this look like an arts & crafts corner to anyone else? 

 I was a bit disappointed with some of the ‘artful’ objects on display that night. 

I really like some of the combinations the artists did, intentionally or not, like the rubber glove and the one below with the note. 

The newest addition to my addiction of screen printing/etching prints. I adore this piece, my print number is 10/20, and done gorgeously by Morgan Bass. If you can’t read it, it writes: ‘Do something Even if its Wrong’

creating BEER

I’ve recently been cleaning up and organizing my external hard drives and came across some old work of mine of the process to brew your own beer at home!
