A Photo Shoot: The Seattle Skyline at Night

Before traveling to my hometown of Seattle, I’d planned on photographing the Seattle skyline at night from different vantage points in the city. I’ve been playing around with night photography (see my previous posts of the Peace Building and the Zoolights ) and wanted to capture Seattle’s beautiful skyline. Below are some of the photos…

For Shoe Lovers Only! Week #9 – Miniature Shoe Collection

Over 15 years ago I began collecting miniature shoes.  I started collecting them after spotting the Just the Right Shoe miniature shoe line by artist/designer Raine at a Hallmark store during a business trip.  It was another way to feed my shoe fetish, and would replace the purchase of souvenir t-shirts and coffee cups!  I’d traveled a lot…

For Shoe Lovers Only! Week #8 – Animal Print

Over the past several years I’ve explored and expanded my shoe style to include more color, prints, and patterns – from multi-colored striped fabrics to animal prints. I purchased a pair of animal print ankle boots a couple of years ago and the entire boot, including the heel is animal print as shown below. I liked the quality of…

For Shoe Lovers Only! Week #7
