Down pouring rain and me in a white sun dress….Lucky for me I found refuge just before the sky’s opened up!  Apparently there were some bets going on within the family whether or not I’d get wet.   Don’t you love my family?  The Biltmore is classic architecture for the turn of the century.  Although, if I’m going to be honest, I was not impressed with the gardens.  Versailles in Paris is still by far the most magnificant castle and grounds I’ve seen.  But I suppose it’s not far to judge an American mansion to a Paris castle…although I was let to believe it was a lot like Versailles.

Of course there’s no photography within the building, that’s how they sell you post cards I’m convinced.  But I did take a few photos outside.

My brother Aaron, Cousin Eric, and Hubby Cody

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of traveling and see LOTS of friends and family.  Last weekend I was blessed enough to see all four of my close friends from college all in one weekend.  One friend got married, I’ll share those soon.  My old roomie had her first baby, little Miss Josilyn.  I’m just in awe at how the timing all worked out.  Josilyn was born the day I arrived in Minneapolis and was just three days old when I went to see Ashley and Thomas.  How freak’n cute is she too!?  And the hair!  Safe to say Ash and Thomas make cute babies.  I couldn’t be happier or more excited for you two and the new journey you’re on.  LOVE you both!

A little sneak peak at the Silver Shade Polaroid film I took in North Carolina this past week.

Idaho Springs Holga

May 27, 2010

I took a holga workshop recently.  Not so much to learn more about holga, it’s a plastic camera with two f-stops.  But to shoot holga for fun.  I use the holga all the time with clients, but I rarely just go out and shoot for myself.  And I love Idaho Springs.  It’s such a cute little old mining town.   And the bonus of the workshop is we’re displaying a few shots in a studio space, Eliot Street Collective.  Which is an awesome space that anyone can rent out too.  So if you’re in the area check it out the next few weeks.  There’s some pretty talented people here in Denver.

Spring cleaning is in full swing at the Weaver house.  And my desk is of major importance!  I like a clean house (although not clean enough to meet my mother’s standards), but I just can’t seem to keep my desk clean.  Sticky notes, books, flash cards, and more books are everywhere!  I’ve been cleaning out my stash of film and negatives in my filing cabinet and came across this photo from a camping trip almost two years ago.  Man how time flys!  The weather today is breezy 75 degrees and I’m swooning over a summer camping trip.  To be in the mountains, hiking during the day and sitting by the camp fire at night.  Now that says summer!  And you can’t forget a good cold Fat Tire within arms reach at all times!  :-)

Happy Monday my little readers!
