"Storybook" Style

Akron, Ohio has many houses built in the "Storybook Cottage" style. Chuck's, in Ellet, is one of them. Steep gable, box bay windows, deep trim. He had it painted soft green with cream trim, inspired by a house in Kent. Looks quite cute and very much in keeping with the style.

I wonder how homeowners would feel about having me take photos of their Storybooks for a project...

Ice Tea & Mountain Dew

Must be Thursday night at Panera. Come and visit if you're ever in Stow, Ohio on Thursday night - we'll be at the table just inside the door, under one of the gold lamps. Nikon S550

Feb. 18 - The View From Here


A rather blue day at work - crises everywhere, and not a single reasonable solution to be found. Nikon s550. At least it's yoga night...
Love the S550, missing the D60. Maybe this weekend...

Feb. 17 - Crock Pot Chicken

This probably forever disqualifies me from Food Photographers of America. We went to see "He's Just Not That Into You" and the chicken ended up somewhat over-cooked. The movie was fun, and we laughed a lot over dinner with some of Chucks friends from work. And dumped in a salad with Italian dressing, the chicken's not too bad. Nikon S550 - horrors!: auto and flash!

26 Things - Terrifying

I love being an adult - Just not today... Nikon S550, dirge playing in background, as I approached the endoscopy lab with dragging footsteps and a heavy heart. Well, not for a another ten years, and by then , maybe the prep will justbe a faded memory (HAH!)

A Favorite Photo of Chuck



Taken June 29, 2008, at the Akron Zoo. He was messing with his camera - I love how intent he looks.

26 Things - Valentine

A rose from my honey. He gave me the sweetest note, too. D60, ss 1/3, f4.2, ISO 400.
