When going to work on time means going in late
One of the things I absolutely love about my job is its flexibility. Part of it is the nature of the job, and part of it is the way that, over the past two years I’ve worked there, I’ve managed to craft my duties and schedule around what I want, rather than having to keep [...]
Waterbug
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it on here, but I’ve been playing water polo again! [insert your own joke about drowning horses here.] I’m back in the pool three days a week, and I’ve been meaning to take a picture of something reflecting this fact, but I never got around to it until tonight. Not [...]
These signs = serious business
(In an attempt to make my site a bit less cluttered and enable me to post larger pictures, I’ve made some changes to my blog design and layout. Feel free to go to the main page and check it out, and then leave some comments here or whereever on the changes! I like feedback!) :-) [...]
Hurrying through the last of the summer
I have a bit of a confession to make. I’ve been back to work for over a month now, and while part of me is enjoying the routine chaos that is my job, the other part of me still wants to be footloose and fancy-free, traveling Europe with my backpack and rail pass. To be [...]

Street chalk art. Of a street. :-)
Today I took a walk with a friend down to Fremont Park for the 20th annual Chalk It Up festival. I went last year with my big camera and took a bunch of pictures, but this year I just took my cameraphone. Low-key, casual, and still a whole lot of fun. I don’t know what [...]
We interrupt these trip pictures to bring you a magazine cover!
Back in May, I got my first paid photography job — photographing some San Francisco-related things for a cover and the cover story for the magazine The Bourbon Review. Go me! Here’s a link to the article (opens a PDF)–the pictures on pages 1, 4, and 6 are mine, as is the shoreline one on [...]
The urban forest in which I live
The urban forest in which I live, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. When I first moved to Sacramento, I must have heard at least a dozen times the statement that this is the second most treed city in the world after Paris. I don’t know how true that is, but I like driving past downtown on [...]

Herbie goes to Sacramento
Y’all seen the Herbie movies? The REAL ones, not the cheezy knock-off from a few years back? I always loved those movies. I’ve seen this car on my way home from work a handful of times, but I’ve never been able to get a picture of it before. Today two fortunate events conspired to help [...]

9:15 PM: Late rainy evening looking east over the Puget Sound
9:15 PM: Late rainy evening looking east over the Puget Sound, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. No picture can do justice to the quality of light, or the cool evening air, or the gentle rain, or the peace of this place. So you’ll just have to use your imagination. It’s beautiful here, y’all. .
