How did I get from this, to this, to this?

Failing means you’re actually doing something.

I recently participated in a project called Dead Words. The project is best described by the curator, Karen To:
“For over centuries, thousands of English words have been created, modified, and removed. Through this blog of lettering, we rediscover and interpret stories of dead words.”

My submission for Dead Words helped me realized I’d come full circle to my BFA thesis project and now I’m not only running around take pictures of feet, I’m also cutting obscure words out magazines and ensuring each one has a face.

Who’s getting me that pedicure already?

My Feet series will introduce you to the places my feet go and other feet they meet. Some people take pictures of food. I take pictures of feet. There’s more to come. Enjoy.

A nod to the cheap, fun $5 races my husband and I have been participating in this summer with our friends.

I think I’ve officially come full circle to my BFA thesis project.

My latest obsession — of which I’ve only posted one — is hand cutting words out of magazines and ensuring each letter has part of a face in it…and then standing on my table and taking pictures of it with my feet.

The inspiration for my thesis project was a quote by J.L Frazier, “Faces of type are like men’s faces. They have their own expression; their complexion and peculiar twists and turns of line identify them immediately to friends, to whom each is full of identity.”

Combine my love of lettering & typography and feet portraits, and you get something a little like this.

Also, would someone please get this girl a pedicure?

When I was 8(ish) we got our first dog. My brother won it during a Farmer’s Co-op drawing and my family has had dogs ever since that day. We were a big dog family, particularly of the German Shepard breed, but long story short, I have soft spot for any type of dog that isn’t yappie.

This weekend we were attending a birthday party in the park when I noticed this little girl. She was so insanely adorable that I actually left mid-conversation to see her up close. Her name is Ramona and she’s a combination of Pit Bull and a Shih Tzu. I think my Facebook post appropriately summed it up, “Whenever I’m sad, I’m just going to look at the picture of this puppy…”

Really. How adorable is she?!
