Last fall we finally finished building out my art studio, meaning I could finally start unpacking all of my boxes and set up my negative scanners. YAY. Well, then winter hit and things got crazy, then I got busy with graphic design work, then I fractured my ribs and couldnt do much other than lay around, and then the temps reached a high of 110F, making my studio too hot to work in. Well today we dropped to 87F and life is good.

I have been scanning and organizing all of my old negatives from the past 2 years. For a belated birthday, early 13 year anniversary trip in October 2016, we adventured through Joshua Tree National Park and Salton Sea, one of my favorite places to go when I want to just get away. Here are a few of the photos i took with my Lomo LCA+ and cross-processed slide film.

I have been going through all my old negatives in order to add new (old) work and to refresh some of my galleries. Mostly because I have 100's of rolls of Black and White that I never share for some reason. I am also scanning all of my new negatives (from the past two years), hoping i have some fresh new work to share and put into my online shop.

We bought a house 2 years ago and I that and graphic design work has pretty much consumed me. Here is my gallery from my trip to Japan back in 2008 with one of my besties Rebecca. It was an amazing and unforgettable adventure. I know I will never have the experience again, as she was pretty much fluent in Japanese and brought me to all of her favorite places. She even held an umbrella for me as much of the trip it was raining. GAH friends are the best!! We spent 2 weeks touring Osaka, Kobe, Nara, and Kyoto.

***Some of my favorites are available as prints or mounted on woodblocks in my shop.
