unruly things

my Saturday was all about cameras, boots, sunshine, and making new friends. 14 amazing ladies got together for a photo shoot at a fantastic farm in Forrest Grove. Whitney’s parents were kind enough to let us tromp around on their farm for 3 glorious hours of photographic fun. it was so fun to watch everyone’s process, especially with Polaroid and peel apart film. I’d never seen one of those bad boys in action and it was really cool!
check out our flickr group for some of the amazing photos from the shoot. I’ve still got 3 rolls of film to be developed so I can imagine that there will be some more trickling in as the week goes on!
a huge thanks for everyone for coming out. I loved meeting each of you in person and I can’t wait to shoot with each of you again.

the lovely and talented Helen of Tartlette is hosting this months “Does My Blog Look Good In This”. DMBLGIT is a contest where food bloggers submit pictures of food that they have prepared and photographed. the photographs are reviewed by a panel of judges, who score them in three categories: edibility, aesthetics, and originality. that’s where I come in! I’ve been selected to be one of the judges for the contest! so far the entries not only make my mouth water, but look pretty darn amazing. it’s going to be a tough decision!
as a judge, I’ll be looking at composition and styling as well as originality and unique display. so, if you’re a food blogger or you know someone who is, jump on in! the deadline for submissions is June 23.
more information is over here.
you can view some of the entires here.

so, I didn’t even watch American Idol this season.  not one minute of it.  but tonight when I opened up iTunes, the thing across the top blared American Idol top 2 so I decided to listen to a few of their songs.  I was immediately taken by David Cook.  just as Bo Bice swooned me with his rocker vibe and incredible renditions of Whipping Post and In a Dream a few years back, David got me with that raspy voice and his versions of Music of the Night {absolutely best musical EVER} and Billie Jean, only like my favorite song ever in the most amazing arrangement.
