Pandas Love Bicycles

I'm a sucker for Panda Bears.  I tried to get Alison to agree that we should look for one to walk down the aisle.  She didn't go for it and the church didn't either, what ya going do the Lutherans have rules?  Panda's are kind of hard to find.  I found these at the Etsy shop Paper Sparrow.  Shop Owner is Andrea Courchene, and she's from Olrando, Florida. If you looking for some last minute Christmas gifts check out her shop and her blog.

Zhou Fan


As a child Zhou Fan dream of many many jelly fish floating in the sky and when they fell
to the ground they turned into mushrooms. Amazing what you can turn your dreams into......

Last  weekend  we were down in Boca with some great friends.  While I was down there I realized a couple of things, about that wonderful place called Boca Raton.  1st and formost don't order Pork Chops anywhere while your down there. By doing this you will avoid countless  hours on the can.  Also, I don't know where your from but where I come from when we see an emergency vehicle we tend to stop or pull over to the side of the road and wait until they pass.  Not in Boca!  If your stopped at a light that just turned green and your waiting for a fire truck to pass and people start laying on their horns.  Don't freak out, it's normal! Either everyone needs hearing aids, or people think their cars are going to catch on fire when the firetruck passes by I don't know.  A few other things...If your not on The List well, your shit out of luck, cocktail hour doesn't mean drink until your dancing on the ceiling, Boca Raton is the WORLD Headquarters of OfficeDepot(this I did not know!), if you run into a Dj that hasn't heard of Outkast your at the wrong party or he/she thinks Hip-Hop is an exercise routine, if you happen to be at a wedding during sunset consider yourself blessed, and last but not least, if your turning left and only left make sure you do so at a pace of a snail. Most people attempt the BocaLeft in the right lane of a 4 line highway. Bottom line people in Boca are on a different planet.  We did met some incredible people while we were down there and as always Boca never fails to impress. Enjoy your weekend...

Media Consoles






Alison and I are looking into media consoles.  I love the look of all four of these.  Our Tv is on a coffee table right now. Not such a hot look with all the cords and cable boxes on the floor.  The exciting thing about getting one of these consoles is I can finally wall-mount my tv. (Note to Cannon, I'll need some help with that buddy O pal) Which one do you guys like best?

A photo a day for the whole month of October.  Taken with a little point & shoot film camera.  I'm calling it Embedded InThe Emulsion.  An idea that centers around digital media and how we think it will last forever.  The bottom line is we still don't know how long digital media will last.  The possibility of losing images due to some hardware issue is far greater than an image ever fading off of the emulsion.  I understand why film has lost its appeal in our society, we don't want to wait X amount of days to see what it looks like, we want it now.  Thats just how we are.  We are in light speed when it comes to media and data.  But I also think there is a push to get back to film, a push to slow down and really think about the photo at hand.  Long live film. I know I want to start shooting more of it.  I really enjoyed this little project and I'm hoping you are too. 11 more days and 11 more  blog post to go.  Take care folks.....

O how I miss you.  You held us up, and built us up.  I never thought about fear while you were here.  I never realized what you meant when you use to say, "Someday this will be yours." I wonder if we did everything we could?  You put meaning in the smallest things.  I'm thankful and grateful for what you left me and what you taught me.  I'm trying not to dwell on those last couple of months but boy it is hard. No one never told me how hard it would really be.  I can hear your famous words now,"It will be alright." I always thought we had more time. I realize now those little magical moments with family and friends have the most meaning. I have so much to tell you, share with you.  So many wonderful things have happened in my life and I wish we had time so I could share them with you....

They got good taco's boys and girls. Located right across from Wal-Mart in Auburndale, Florida.  I got about 5 tacos on this day. The Green sauce was smoking hot! Usually at other taco stands the green sauce isn't that hot. This one is HoT.  I off centered this photo because of the bright red but for some reason it didn't make it onto the film. O well, if you need a taco and your in the great city of Auburndale, stop on by The Real Taco.  Tell them that Rp sent you.
