I stumbled across this book called The Half. It is a collection of photographs by one Simon Annand. The Half is a collection of photographs of actors during the thirty minutes before hitting the stage – which actors call, you guessed it, The Half. Here are some of Simons photographs.

Daniel Day Lewis
Daniel Radcliffe
David Tennant
Martin Sheen
Simon Beale
Tilda Swinton
I hope you enjoyed viewing these photographs of actors in what is known to them as an intimate moment as much as I do.

I finished Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone last week and moved on to my other christmas book – The Virgin Suicides. What can I say? Its good. Like you ever thought I wouldn’t like it.

One line really stuck out to me, spoken by Dumbledore to Harry at the end of the book.

“…to the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”

So, to bring up Harry Potter again. I was always into the movies – never read the books (somehow,even though I’m a reader). All of a sudden I just feel like I HAVE to read the books. I guess its the realization setting in that before too long there will be no more movies….its the only way to get my fix. I can’t wait to begin reading these books. P.S. I want a Harry Potter tattoo.

Lisa Litwack created these book covers for a few Stephen King covers – and I would like to see more!



My uncle is a graphic design artist and he is going to love these!

I stumbled across this invite somewhere sometime ago and saved it to my documents where i recently stumbled upon it again.

How could you not go to this party? Anyway, this invite immediately makes me think of my grandmothers old Jubilee cookbooks. Even when I was a little girl I liked to look through them and look at the illustrations. They looked much like this invite. I can’t find any Jubilee images on the googles! And my Grannys cookbooks are in her pantry five and a half hours away. Maybe next time I go down to visit I can do some scanning for you guys.

This morning I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours in Target, getting some props and whatnot for a couple of upcoming shoots. Here is a sneak peek of some of the things I bought. Not actual product images but dang close.



I was there around lunch time, so I went to the deli area to peruse the archer farmes ready made lunches. After much deliberation, I decided upon an option that looked a little like this.


This was the most perfect lunch ever. I gotta say. I had never eaten salami before and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I even called the husband – “Hey babe, whatch doin? Oh really? SALAMIS GOOD!”
