Many changes have happened since I last posted, but the two big ones go hand in hand. I have resigned from my position as a high school art teacher to become a full time mama come November.

It is all very bittersweet and as I told my students, I’m certainly not leaving because I don’t love my job, I just have a new one.

Needless to say, there was a lot of emotion involved, so my seniors and I decided to do a swap project so everyone would have a little piece of everyone else to hold onto forever.

These were their portraits I shot with Holga.

Seen:  through the eye of Holga. I convinced students to be models for my weird, colorful vision. I hope it turns out….

Heard: vinyl every day. I was pleased with which records presented themselves while reorganizing.

Smelled: breakfast in bed made by my main man. I’m a lucky girl.

Tasted: Sweeticles. I’ve talked about them before, and I am positive I’ll talk about them again.

Felt: the wind. We have our own little forest behind our new house and the wind blowing through those trees sounds like ghosts. Nancy also enjoys the leaves that get thrown about.

What have your senses picked up on?

p.s. This idea is borrowed from a blogger whose amazing Polaroids I have crushed on forever.

Aruba was…..incredible. Not a vacation where you do too much, but that’s the whole point. Time well spent with just each other and a few little adventures. I had my trusty Konica C35 in tow.
