(july's pentax)

late july, ellie and i decided to take a magnificent camping/adventuring trip to the georgia/south carolina coast. however, terrible forecasts forced us to rethink our plan: thus we went to stay with her brother in flordia (a beachy midwest). it was wonderful. the beaches were beautiful, and we really just needed the ocean and the sun.

along came my pentax. like i had said prior, i am still becoming friends with my pentax and learning the likes and dislikes of a fully manual camera... so here's what i have:

heading to seattle tomorrow. where are your favorite places in and around the city?

so much love,

currently listening to Death Cab For Cutie's record Transatlanticism (one of my very favorites... no matter what people say).

i've finally reached a breaking point in Three Cups of Tea... still not too far in, but i'm excited for the promise it holds.

artmail 1.2

this past weekend ellie & i went to the mountains - east tennessee mountains, that is.

the perfect cure for terribly allergies that went south and made me sick.... i mean, what's better than a grandma's cooking to cure the over pollinated nose & an under(homestyle)loved self??? nothing.

a lot of hiking, movies, chats and SLEEP. a smidge reading, and no writing or art... so my task for the drive home: make artmail.

i decided that the truckers needed some artmail too - which i held against the window while we drove past - just to (hopefully) brighten their days (we video recorded some of it.... which i will share with you when i have the chance)

here's what i created (obviously they're a little messy due to the bumpy road... sorry) :

so much love,

p.s. currently reading Three Cups of Tea ... soooo good. a little wordy, but i'm just a few pages, but it's going to challenge my vocabulary & knowledge of the eastern region of the world (more on this to come)

p.p.s. i'm currently jamming to Tegan & Sara - gosh i love them! especially the record Sainthood. sometimes i lose them in the onslaught of new music, but they're always good to work to. yes. (follow them on twitter)
