October 7, 2011—South FIRST FRIDAYS art walk, downtown San Jose
I'm trying not to be too nervous...

Dreaming of Springtime

Well... not really! But that's what I wanted to call the reworked version of this shot. I took this on the morning I left to go to Paris this past Spring. The apple tree was just barely starting to bloom. I was a little bit sad that I would be missing it.

(Also in my Etsy shop.)

J'oscille et vous?

I will be having my first vendor booth, ever, at this event, with my good friend, Yael. She will be selling her lovely homemade tiered cake platters. Come by and say "hi", get some free candy, and check out all of the awesome chalk art, artists/vendors, and yummy FOOD!
MOGO will be there, as well as Treatbot, Mona's Fruit, San Jose Noodle, Giovanni's Pizza, Sonia's Sweets and Eats, and Lorena's Taqueria.

Île Saint-Louis... Now, in Technicolor!

Goofing off, because I have better things to do.
I've always really liked this shot, but disliked the drabness of the color scheme. Not quite done yet, but I think I'll just NOT finish it and watch some TV now. "Yay" for Monday!

Love Locks - Paris

Here's an interesting Wikipedia article about Love Padlocks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_padlocks

Musée d'Orsay Clock - reworked photo

I worked on this image some more... I can't wait to see how the print I just ordered turns out!

Rainbow Bottles of Lemonade

I fixed the background on this image today - made it darker. It was bugging me. (The bottom image is how it looked before.)

Paris by Night

I'm working on a "Paris by Night" series. It's basically going to be a lot of blurry, yet colorful images.

I love these colors

I took this photo because I wanted to use the color scheme for a project. Now I kind of wish I had shot the whole door. :)

Gargoyles are just so darn cute!

Simply GORGEOUS treasury on Etsy - so honored to be a part of it!

'cause pink roller coasters are cool.

At the Paris Fun Fair. Also in my Etsy shop.
