Euro Trip Day 0: Waiting for our first train of many
Trip Day 0: Waiting for our first train of many, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. My goal this trip is to post a picture a day, so that I’m forced to think and write about some of this as it’s happening, rather than waiting until I get home to look at my pictures and reflect. I [...]
“…Her eyes as clear as centuries/ Her silky hair was brown…”
My post title is from a Paul Simon song that I’ve liked for years… it somehow seemed to fit for my coworker’s lovely daughter, whom I was privileged to be able to take pictures of a couple of weeks ago. Kristin, she’s beautiful. :-) . . . .
Fire dancing
I took some pictures of the fire dancer at Second Saturday a couple of nights ago–she was using a hula hoop internally lit by colored LEDs that had flaming wands attached to it. She was absolutely AMAZING. More pictures are in the gallery here. Oh, and these were intentionally long exposures–I wanted a motion blur. [...]

Neighborhood night life
I never thought I’d enjoy living downtown in a large largish city, but know what? I really really do. Yeah, I hate it when the garbage truck shows up at 5:00 in the morning to empty the dumpster in the alley behind my bedroom. I’m not a big fan of the hipsters that hang out [...]

Some voices I could recognize anywhere
Totally randomly I ended up with a free ticket tonight to see Arlo Guthrie in concert at UC Davis. I grew up with both of my parents playing tapes (and then CDs, and now mp3s) of his music, and I’ve a huge soft spot in my music heart for him, but for some reason it [...]
So many good pictures that I don’t even know where to begin
[By the way, yes, I know this post broke the main page of my blog. I have no idea what's wrong, and this has been an ongoing problem, but I'm trying to get a ninja to help me out with it. Grrrrr.] Here are the last of the pictures from Thursday’s photo shoot — the [...]
I want to eat his cheeks
Holly is a friend of mine from… well, it’s kind of a long story, but she grew up in Davis (just outside of Sacramento) and went to Cal Poly at about the same time as me, and now she and her husband live just outside of London. Anyway, last summer she and her husband generously [...]
They grow up quickly
I love taking pictures of people’s kids, and it’s been a privilege to take pictures of my coworker Laura’s granddaughters several times over the past year. As I was working on processing the most recent batch from right before Easter, I was struck by how much the girls had grown up. I mean, I know [...]
Before and After
I don’t usually do much Photoshopping of the pictures that I take. I shoot in RAW and I post-process, but that’s only using Canon’s free Digital Photo Pro app, and usually the only thing I really do in there is sharpen and tinker with white balance. But for the photo shoot I did of my [...]

Sisterly love
IMG_5566-2, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. This was the last picture from my photoshoot of my coworker’s granddaughters during spring break. Shortly after this, hunger- and naptime-induced meltdowns ensued. I love this picture, though. :-) .
