What I have realized by shooting this #weekend10 project is that there are some truths about my life.
1. My weekends are pretty regular (read: boring). And if I showed you piles of laundry or more tomatoes, I may actually lose you as readers. All 3 of you.
2. It's harder than it sounds to shoot on the weekends. Because often I am already shooting for work and then I want to divorce myself from the camera. Completely. For 2 days. But then I remember all 3 of you, and feel committed to making the magic.
3. I travel more than I thought I did. Yet somehow I don't feel like I travel at all.
4. I love food. And I love to photograph the stories around food (hence all the tomato photos.)
5. I love to garden and photograph the stories around gardening (hence all the tomato photos...plus I finally got it right this year! Props to my awesome raised bed builder, Paul.)
6. Lots of people fill the interwebs with crap that is irrelevant. I am now one of those people.
7. I really love my kid. I take lots of photos of him. And I post a lot of them. Forgive me.
8. I really also love my pets. I also post a lot of photos of them. Forgive me.
9. Photography makes me happy. When I look back on everything, I love all the photos that are weaving together to tell the Story of Me. I hope the 3 of you like it too.
What about you? What did you get up to last weekend?
We chicken sat this weekend. I didn't know that was actually a thing. But we did it. And now I want my own.
I named them Agnes and Hattie. I really think it fits.
I also did a Christening at the Greek Orthodox Church on Race Street in Charleston. I highly recommend a visit here. It is alive with color.
The ceiling at the church.
After the Christening, it was time for some beers! (Of course) And futbal! Alles Deutchland!
And of course, brownie sundaes are a necessity with soccer!
Magical flower season.
Mrs. Fezziwig. That's right. Call her Missus. Or The Fez.
The often overlooked Sasha. (She doesn't like having her photo taken. Seriously. I am not kidding.)
I closed my weekend out with brunch and mimosas with this little beauty who I photographed a few weeks ago. She is already so big!
Clearly...she is done with me.
What you don't see: Harry Potter Marathon (whoop whoop! - I have an unhealthy love for the Harry Potter movies). Summer storms. Bill paying. Laundry. Cleaning. All the babies I got to play with (!). And yummy food!
