Dear, I have something to tell you...

I've been sneaking away to cheap motels with expensive coffee, and

I've been having a love affair.


He's so good to me, you see. We go for long walks and drives and hunt for treasure. We capture moments that often go unnoticed. We tell tales of glimmer from life's recreation. We laugh, we cry, we take pictures.

Just kidding dear, it's only my camera.

I have an ever growing collection of old film cameras. When I was first learning to draw my camera collection was a great source for cube like objects to practice with. Before I "thought" I had the ability (or permission) to draw, I used photography as my medium. I'm quickly picking up the photo habit again after a stint of just painting and drawing so much this past year. I love them both you see :)

  2. I think both of these go hand and hand--art and photography

  3. OK Carissa, answer these questions:
    1.Does your "significant other" have a special place in your heart?
    2. Do you know where it is at all times?
    3. Is it priceless? If you answered yes to all these questions, you are having a love affair- with your cameras:)
