The trip was of course, wonderful, until the last 30 minutes of the drive home when Serenica's engine began stalling on us whenever we'd drop beneath a certain speed (hoping it's a minor fix!). Fortunately, after stalling out on several occasions and getting it restarted again, she died right inside our RV storage lot gate and wouldn't turn over.

“When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our personality and get into the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don’t know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.” —D. H. Lawrence

Yesterday, I had the privilege of shooting my good friends, Biff and Brice's, beautiful wedding at the Fine Arts Center here in Colorado Springs. The day began for me with shooting photos of all the girls getting ready at their aunt's salon and this is one of my favorite images from that time. It couldn't have been more perfect; mimosas, finger foods and an entire salon closed to regular customers for the day so the girls had all the space and supplies needed to become even more beautiful than they already are. I always have such a fun and memorable time hanging out with this family. They never fail to make me feel like I'm part of it and I'm forever grateful to them for that.

Today my good friend Britt came over for what I've dubbed "Craft Day." We've been experimenting with wood as a canvas and using spray paint, cut-outs, and stencils. Today was our second go at it. We were somewhat successful at our first go-round a few weeks ago but today was a dismal failure. I think all we ended up accomplishing was ruining a few pieces of perfectly good wood. However, I think we'll get better with time but I have more faith in Britt than myself. Contrary to what I would assume is popular belief, I absolutely and completely suck at the whole crafty thing. My hand-eye coordination completely fail me when it comes to things like exacto knives and glue and producing an aesthetically pleasing product. I might as well face it, although I'm drawn to all things past and vintage, I am and will forever be grateful for my computer and the digital world is where I'm really and truly at home.
