shooting
assignment: "red"
These are the tulips in my front
yard, a welcome sight after a long and rainy day.
|
03.29.05 shooting
assignment: "history"
This is embedded in the
sidewalk next to my house. Hahn may have been its original owner.
|
03.30.05 shooting
assignment: "reflection"
One of the three windows in
my office, taken from the outside. The view reflected in the window is the
view from my desk, out into the building's courtyard.
|
03.31.05 shooting
assignment: "food"
One whole wall of our
kitchen. As H
said the first time she visited: "Boy, sure can't tell a chef
lives here, huh?"
|

 |
 |
 |
04.01.05 shooting
assignment: "seven"
One of the four remote
controls in our living room, where we sit a whopping five feet from
the TV.

This is what happens when you let
Nature do her thing in your front yard.
|
04.03.05 shooter's

My supervisor on
Work-From-Home-
Fridays.

04.04.05 shooting

A waterfront view of downtown
Portland, taken from the Eastside Esplanade at dusk.

 |
04.05.05 shooting
assignment: "time"
Yeah, so I went the obvious route.
It was either this, or a pic of my
Al Stewart CD. Bet
this doesn't seem so lame now, huh?
|
04.06.05 shooting
assignment: "candlelit"
We gave each other
Claddagh rings as promise rings in
college (back before they were popular with all the kool kidz) and its symbolism
has a very special and personal meaning to us.
|
04.07.05 shooting
assignment: "pillow"
I've always loved the designs on this pillow, even though
it doesn't go with anything else I own. |
04.08.05 shooting
assignment: "hands"
These are the hands of some of the
people I work with. Rock on, you guys.

The Steel Bridge at dusk. |
04.10.05 shooter's choice
weekend
My commute home. The view speaks
for itself.
|
04.11.05 shooting
assignment: signs week #1
I'd hoped to get a better shot of
the sign for the bridge ramp with the bridge behind it, but the big white Ford
in front of me pretty much nixed that idea. Still, I benefited from a nice
lighting effect; click the pic to get a better view.
|
04.12.05 shooting
assignment: signs week #2
This house is just a block away
from mine. During the 2004 election, they had a big white sheet on the side of
the house that said, "Don't Endorse Hate.
Vote NO on 36." After the election, this took its place.

04.13.05 shooting assignment: signs week #3
This is where I live. I used to dream about it, when I lived very
far away, and my dreams seemed much further than 1500 miles.
|
04.14.05 shooting assignment: signs week #4
I painted this on the back door the day Sal started his first
sous chef position at Vivid to remind him to always dream big.
|
04.15.05 shooting assignment: signs #5
A gimme, I know. But the first time we ever went here was on our
anniversary and it's one of my most favorite memories.
|
04.16.05 shooter's choice weekend
The view from the corner of my porch. I never get tired of it.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
04.17.05 shooter's choice weekend
Also from my front porch. When I saw this view the first time, I knew this was
our house.
|
04.18.05 shooting
assignment: "fuzzy"
I defy anyone to stay in a bad
mood when they come home to a cat wedged between their computer monitor and the
dining room window, catchin' some rays. Don't you just want to rub your face in
that furry belly?
|
04.19.05 shooter's choice weekday
This is the doorknocker we're hoping to put up soon, once it's time to paint the
door purple. In Gaelic: "One Hundred Thousand Welcomes".
|
04.20.05 shooter's choice weekday
One of the many dozens of pictures we took this time
last year at the tulip festival, but that we didn't post on the website.

 |
 |
 |
04.21.05 shooter's choice weekday
One of the rhododendron blooms from our yard. Springtime in Oregon is an
embarrassment of riches.
|
04.22.05 shooting
assignment: "paper"
I guess Sal got tired of my habit of scribbling story ideas and
writing inspirations on scraps of paper because he bought me a lovely embossed
leather journal for just this purpose. I carry it with me everywhere.
|
04.23.05 shooter's choice weekend
Part of a larger picture that was evidence that yes, Sal hogs the entire bed.
|
04.24.05 shooter's choice weekend.
Glass beads in a vase. Beauty is where you find it.

 |
 |
04.25.05 shooting
assignment: "stripes"
The curtains I made for the
sliding glass windows in our Laramie apartment, that later served the same duty
in our Beaverton apartment. I cut them in half and turned them into drapes for
the front window of our very first (and only) house.
|
04.26.05 shooting
assignment: "bottles"
We've saved all these wine bottles
and put them on top of our kitchen cabinets. I don't know why; it makes us look
like alkies. Heh.
|
04.27.05 shooting assignment: "calendar"
This is actually a Harley-Davidson calendar of my coworker's. This
was the only angle to shoot it without the babe on the motorcycle at the top.
|
04.28.05 shooting assignment: "leaves"
This little Japanese maple was a housewarming gift from my mom to
Sal. It's called "Firestorm".
|
 |
 |
|
|
04.29.05 shooting assignment: "shadow"
The chimes sitting on the plate rail outside the kitchen door.
The idea when we bought it was to use it as a dinner chime but mostly, we just
play with it when we're talking on the phone.
|
04.30.05 shooter's choice weekend
I spent the day painting these stripes on the kneewalls of our attic.
