I am very lucky to have the chance to present the latest two conversations on the Nymphoto Blog with Keliy Anderson-Staley and my mentor, Christine Osinski.

A Conversation with Nadia Sablin on Nymphoto

Yanush with a Pregnant Cat from From the Mountains and to the Sea Nadia Sablin

My Conversation with Nadia Sablin is on the Nymphoto Blog today. The glimmer of light she captures in her low-light interiors are gorgeous as are the textures and layers.

My Conversation on Nymphoto

West Baray, Siem Reap, Cambodia from The Hold Over Water Rona Chang

My Nymphoto Conversation is up. Thank you Maria for introducing me to Nymphoto and for posting the Conversation. The Conversation is in Nymphoto Conversations: Volume 1 for sale now on Blurb for $31 (link on the side bar). It's a good read and we (Nymphoto) worked really hard on the book and the two shows.

Thank you to everyone who came to the opening last night and everyone for your support. I felt so special when Joe Maida showed up towards the end of the night and told me he wouldn't have missed it for the world. You should have seen my face light up, Joe is the sweetest guy ever (and an amazing photographer who keeps running off to Japan.) And I'm sorry I don't have any photos of the opening. I was way too caught up with saying hellos and talking to people to remember to whip out my camera until it was too late. Next time I will have to ask someone to be in charge of it for me.

2009 New Year Resolutions

I've never made New Year's Resolutions before, just lots and lots of to-do lists. So this will kind of be a combo one, listed by month. It's not a very specific list. I'm not sure I'll accomplish these things in this exact order but I think it's good to have it down and maybe revisit this time next year to see if I managed to accomplish everything. Feel free to share some of your resolutions in the comments section.

Jan- Buy and hang a hook in bedroom to get handbags off the floor.
Feb- Head to Peru and hike the Inca trail. (Something that I've been planning since my first trip there.) Pick up some Spanish along the way.
Mar- Clean out my inbox as I'm sure it'll be overflowing by now.
Apr- Continue to post a photo a day on blog whether it's from Breathing In or other new scanned work.
May- Save money (my goal is half the paycheck).
Jun- Go berry picking.
Jul- Go camping at a beach. (Need to borrow tent.)
Aug- Snack on more veggies instead of chips.
Sept- Visit cousin Henry and wife Grace when the baby is born.
Oct- Swim better (more efficiently) and continue going to the gym 3x a week.
Nov- Read all the Narayan books I got last Christmas.
Dec- This one's a bit of a secret for now so I'll have to keep you updated.

Also- my Breathing In series is now on the side bar. So if I post about other things, they won't get lost. My Conversation with Juliana Beasley, who is a wonderful character and writer is up today on the Nymphoto blog. Go read it, you'll be entertained and charmed for sure.

Conversations

As I was lying in bed just half an hour ago, I realized that I had not put a link up to my Conversation with Jennifer Williams from Thurs. I then realized that none of the Conversations are linked collectively for you. I have fixed it by adding the links on the sidebar to the right. So if you missed any of them, you can find them right there.
