wednesday wonderfulness, no, I'm not dead

But I will be soon if I don't watch it. Not really; I'm exaggerating. But I've definitely bitten off more than I can chew with the whole "Help-Portrait event the day before we leave on vacation" thing. Oh! Self portrait this week WILL happen; I've just not made time for it yet. I will! So without further ado, a couple of weeks worth of awesomeness.

• I read this letter a couple of weeks ago and it really challenged me as a photographer. This years goal? Slow down a little bit and figure out where I want to go with this business. And when I say "slow down," I'm not doing a single wedding show. I'll share more on this later.
• NSFW: editorial notes on playboy centerfolds. Fact: even centerfolds aren't good enough. Le sigh.
• Bruce Lee's philosophy of challenging oneself.
• who can I help today?
• squee! Charming, amazing art.
• Face. Melting. Adorable.
• guess what, guys? Work is not a job. YES.
• Ok seriously now: how gorgeous and restful is this bedroom?
• Gorgeous GIANT PAPER FLOWERS.
• need to dry: clear skin cocktail.
• staying out of the tiny trap.

Ok, enough lollygagging, I've got to get back to work!
