Dan and I recently went to Orlando. We went to see Something Corporate, one of my favorite bands ever. While we were there I kept my camera put away, opting mostly just to use the Hipstamatic app for my phone rather than dragging a DSLR around with me. But on the ride home I took her out (clover, my camera). I also successfully turned a 2 1/2 hour drive into a 4+ hour drive by taking us way north of where we ever had any business of being. This did get us sidetracked to Cassadaga (the psychic capitol of the world) somehow, which didn't bother me any. The whole being lost thing didn't actually really bother either of us. The drive was way too beautiful for that!

The only picture I really got of Cassadaga. Now I want to go back!

Dan was driving...

...I was playing.

The biggest rainbow ever, caught very snapshotty through my front window.

Sunset and me in the mirror.

I always save my favorite for last, don't I?

I heart faces Week 34 - Beach Fun

 This week's challenge at I Heart Faces is "Beach Fun". Living in Florida how could I resist!

Hands Across the Sand 06/26/10

This was taken at the Hands Across the Sand rally in Lake Worth, Fl. There were actually demonstrations going on all across America's shorelines to stop off shore drilling in lieu of the BP oil spill. The line was 1,000 people long in Lake Worth and I was lucky enough to get to capture a small section of that line.

Hey there, Lanuria.

Dear Courtney,

     As I write this letter you are already getting settled in the Land of Snow and Cheese. I want to keep it short and simple and just say I will miss you in about a month since that is about how often we hung out. Also, I look forward to my new life as your e-friend. Now for some pictures!

You are always representin' Azeroth.

'splorin Lake Okeechobee.

Posing for me makes me happy!

Wonder who you're texting?

More posing for the camera.

And the guy who's stealing you away from me, well he's pretty cool (and he puts up with you), so I guess it's okay with me.

That doesn't mean Dan and I will miss you any less. Come back and visit soon, bring cheese, etc.

The three of us, adventuring.

Love,
    Tara

P.S. Be happy I didn't post the embarrassing pictures. =P

There is wonder to be found in those pages...

Reading is definitely up there in my favorite things to do, so when I noticed my Memere and Goddaughter reading "James and the Giant Peach" together I couldn't help but sneak a photo.

My new toy!

Happy birthday to me! My family all threw in and ordered me the LensBaby Composer for my birthday. I was super excited when UPS was at my door today. I'm even more excited to take my new baby out and play with her. I'm sure there will be pics to follow.

Self Portraits: Feet

So, I'm home sick from work and I have nothing to do and no new pictures taken (it's been a busy week). I was going through my old pictures and realized I take pictures of my shoes/feet a lot. So here they are. Feet self portraits!

This one was taken with a film camera in my mom's backyard three years ago.

Another one from three years ago. My legs look kind of awkward but I like the lyrics I wrote.

   These four were all at Wakodahatchee, one of my favorite places in the world, at different times throughout the past two or so years.

Taken at Halpatiokee. When I lived in Stuart.

With my feet on the dash the world doesn't matter.

Those lyrics above happen to be one of my favorite lines from a song. I feel like it's one of the truest statements ever. When I'm riding in the car with Dan and our cameras, no matter where we are going or what's going on in life, I am happy. I'm with him doing what I love and nothing else matters. Pure bliss.
