enjoy! compliments of ayla...

hello all, just thought I'd upload the hdr images i have from the grand canyon so far (Grandma V has them as well, but I thought I'd save her the trouble of converting them.) So, here ya are.





P.S. There are more photos, and I'm sure between G-Ma and I, the best will eventually get uploaded.

Hi everyone, sorry Ive been so out of touch! Ive been very busy, mostly in a good way.
Right now, I am in the middle of three sool projects. I am designing and printing a friend's wedding invitation, another friend's wedding thankyou cards, and new recordlow t-shirts!

The Record Low just got back from three outoftown shows this past weekend. Apparently, Dayton, OH on St. Patricks Day is the place to be. I spent the weekend working(!!!) and wrestling the apartment into someting a little less "bachelor-y." It's getting there, but there is a quiet battle of wills taking place. I am refusing to take out the garbage. But we can't put it on the porch because there is a possum in chicago. so it sits by the back door and refuses to take itself out as well. hmm...the only hope is if one of my three roomates wants to negotiate, but for now this is between me and the trash.

So, I am going to Holiday in about a month. I am nervous and excited. and a little sad. Honestly, I wouldn't mind hanging out in chicago for a summer (rather than winter). plus i have all these cool projects...i think i am just nervous transplanting again. i don't do that well.

so check out my blog in the upcoming days. i am posting all the old stuff that i should have posted a while ago..

Love you!

Brian is here visiting for a few days. Yesterday we toured Antelope Canyon near Lake Powell. This photo is from looking straight up at some spectacular rock forms. The canyon at its deepest is maybe 50 feet: the walls at the top are perhaps an armspan wide. Wonderful, wonderful. Today the Grand Canyon where we will stay overnight. Having wonderful time. Wish you were here.

Not much going on. Michael's birthday was yesterday and I forgot to get cheesecake, so he is making it himself today and wouldn't let me no matter how I begged.

He is so mean!

I am mad at photobucket because when you click on my pictures, instead of making them big and beautiful, it takes you to their homepage.

Oh well, how to make friends and influence people has somehow slipped from the vernacular. I can't believe I spelled that right!

So I'm going to check out Flickr for my photos...

I don't have time to be alive! There is just too much paperwork just to get from one day to the next. Between taxes and bills and all that other stuff, I'm worn to a nubbin. How is this supposed to be anywhere near like what it is sposed to be?

So, I am thinking a lot about this pickle and alternative lifestyles, multiple project-driven income streams and a part-time day job. In my spare time, I am thinking of these things.

Miss you all, hope to get out there to see you, mom, and looking sooo forward to a river trip this summer....

Spring at last!!!

ok - cool! I just figured out that if I select the picture in the compose window and hit the little linky thing and paste in the url for the actual photograph, then when you click on the picture it actually shows you the picture! Go figure!!!

grrr -- they think they are sooooo smart!

anyhoo, try it and see!

This is "Montezuma's Well", a limestone sink fed by a permanent spring (1-1/2 million gallons a day) maybe 40 miles south of here on the north edge of the Verde Valley. Very mysterious. Yes, I do get out once in a while. I cannot find other kitefliers in this area; the nearest kite store is in Sedona. There are few open parks without trees or wires, so I'm still looking for a suitable field. Rocks are better than trees, so say I.

Maya, where are you? I would like to order a Record Low CD.

I went to Brad Dimock's book signing Wednesday night at NAU and bought a book for him to sign. It's about Bert Loper, one of the grand old men of the river community. There were lots and lots of people there, including Katie Lee, who sang. I bought Maya an autographed copy of Brad's book, "The Very Hard Way.

All is well in Flagstaff. Today looks very much like a kiteflying day. I've discovered I prefer rocks to trees. Although a large cottonwood is a fine thing.

This last is sooo pretty, pulled in from far away. And I'll be godahell if there aren't a couple of canadian honkers feeding in the lower left quadrant (visible only under extreme magnification).

All these were yesterday, enroute again.

If you want to subject yourself to all the photos that I have managed to upload so far, by no means all, not to worry, but merely many....

please notice I have placed a link in the "where to go from here" box to the right....

some of them are awful, i know, but i thought they were cool at the time...

some of them are abstracts, and not designed to do anything but please your eye, while messing with your mind....

have fun!

this was all stuff from last friday.... except the last, it's just priceless!

"

Another beautiful sunrise, moonset...

Just got this forward from Tim, my boss at Holiday. Thought grandma might be able to enjoy it.
River first
