The 20 Something Society

I stumbled upon this photo of Sidney Poitier.  It stopped me in my tracks.  I had to look at it for a minute.  It is a beautiful portrait, I thought I’d share it.

We have decided to start a vegetable garden this year.  Well, last year we had tomatoes.  But this year we want to grow much more.  The plan is to build four raised vegetable garden beds.  And then build a little fence around them so Klaus won’t ruin them.  Our journey started with a weekend trip to Lowes.  Because Lowes knows.

Distraction one —oooh pretty flowers.

Distraction 2 —”Hey, this drawer pull looks like a mustache!”

aaaaaaaand my camera died.  Thats the first round of pictures from the Our First Garden series.

I made a little thank you gift for Mr.S. More for creating JJPs new logo.

Yeah.

Heres the new logo BTW.

I would really like to check out Howard Schatzs book In Character: Actors Acting.  He gives actors situations and captures their reactions on film.  

Amy Poehler: Left: You are sneaking a peek, in the middle of the night, at your sweet new boyfriend’s computer … and discovering e-mails to and from his three current “other” girlfriends. ~ Center: You are a Park Avenue matron, paying your husband a surprise visit at his office and discovering him on the couch in flagrante delicto with his secretary. ~ Right: You are a disoriented homeless woman being arrested for loitering.

Hugh Laurie:Left: You are a dedicated father who, with your wife, has just sat down to dinner with your 15-year-old daughter, who is defiantly announcing that she’s pregnant. ~ Center: You are a fashion designer on the morning of your big runway show, realizing that nothing in the collection is ready or fabulous.  ~ Right: You are a blustering, pompous member of the British Parliament, giving a speech that is being broadcast on the BBC, and you’re thrilled at the sound of your own voice.

Jeff Goldblum:Left: You’re the surly 14-year-old son of a single mother, steeling yourself as she awkwardly, haltingly begins a belated and unnecessary “birds and bees” talk.  ~ Center: You’re at your daughter’s college graduation, and the pretty classmate of hers that you’ve been secretly ogling has just said, “Mr. Lefkowitz, you can’t be 58—you’re too cool!”  ~ Right: You’re the valedictorian of your high-school class, having just been introduced to give the speech of your young life—and your mind has gone completely blank.

I was over at Love My Dress today and saw this little piece of sunshine.

It is a vintage caravan named Lola (one of my favorite names too!)!  Now I need one of these to go with my squeezebox for photoshoots.

This little beauty is owned by Laura Dew who runs a business called My Vintage Party.  She rents out and sells vintage tableware for your parties and events, and if you don’t feel like putting together all of the details they offer a full afternoon tea party package.  They also rent out the caravan for weddings, photographers, and media.  If only she were near me, I would be working with her constantly.  Shes in the UK!

Just a couple of  Vogue outtakes that I loved.

I need a squeezebox for some shoots now.

Today on Viewfinder.  PEACHES!!  I can’t look at these fuzzy little beauties without thinking of the south, wraparound porches, and sweet tea.

Jacquelyn Jackson Photography has a new logo.

Do you like it?  Better?  Worse?  Eh?

The awesome blog Love My Dress featured this wedding which included one of my favorite dresses ever (By Demetrius) , a rad shiny vintage car, and a groom with major chops.
