The Fauxlaroid Project: Harvest Fest
My brother, his wife Shayda, my boyfriend and I went out to this adorable Harvest Fest in Michigan at the Wild Raspberry Apple Orchard. We ate homemade apple pies, clay oven pizzas, drank hot cider, listened to a jug band, learned about bee keeping, went on a nature walk and picked bags of our own organic apples. Heaven!

The Fauxlaroid Project: Green City Market
This Saturday I went to the lovely Green City Market in Chicago.
There is something invigorating about walking around the park through the colorful, hard-work of local farmers and foodies.
I picked up some Empire apples and baked a pie with them today. Also picked up the most beautiful, handcrafted curry squash pasta from Pasta Puttana. Tonight’s dinner.
Fall is here.

The Fauxlaroid Project: Opening Doors
A co-worker of mine clued me in to this incredible iPhone app called ShakeItPhoto and I am completely hooked, for obvious reasons. Years worth of photos that have been sitting and waiting for upload have now been “polaroidized” and posted to my Flickr site. A new door has been opened. A fresh, oh-so-2009 variation on an existing obsession is born!

It’s Official. I’m a Wild West Junkie.
I cannot stop thinking about my recent roadtrip.
The west is so very raw.
The colors pretty much take the breath out of your body. There is something new to be seen every step you take and every mile you drive. The majority of the trip I would find myself looking up and out and thinking “I can't capture this on camera” and so, surrender I did. Those times are my little secrets. The moments I did capture on film have made me very very very happy. I want to share them.
The entire Flickr set is here.

The Polaroid Project: Wild West
Just returned from a 17-day roadtrip extravaganza. Drove out to Nevada to spend a dusty week at Burning Man with dear friends and took a spontaneous week to drive back to Chicago via Yellowstone, The Black Hills, Grand Tetons, Bighorns, Badlands and everything in between. One of the first thoughts I had last night when I reached the Chicago skyline was “Wow, it looks so small compared to the 7,000-13,000ft mountain ranges I've been driving through.” It was pretty shocking.
View the entire Flickr Polaroid set, and selected spreads from the Roadtrip Journal I kept here.
