what i love.

Creativity….Fresh ideas…..

You may have seen this already, and I have been wanting to post this artistic endeavor for a while now.  The story goes something like this….adoring (and unemployed) fan creates a FANTASTIC video for a Death Cab for Cutie song.  He plans it out, and through a mixture of many many still photographs and video, he creates a wonderful piece.

People notice it.  People love it.

Death Cab notices it. Death Cab makes it their official video for their song, “Little Bribes.”

Fan is happy.  Fan now works. :)

Moral of the story: BE CREATIVE, and show it!  You may be surprised who takes note.

Gail - This is SUCH a cool video Jess! I love Death Cab, but hadn’t seen this yet! Good for that guy. I’m such a fan of time lapse photo/video. I think this might be the most creative use of it I’ve ever seen!

monday morning.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

Nanny/Beth/Mama - B E A U T I F U L!! CHERISH every SECOND…. You will turn around twice and they will ALL be GONE

the scoop!

I am kind of stuck in that rut of way too much to blog, and not enough time to do it right now.  This week has been super busy….full of great things like a 2 yr. old session with my baby Gabe, catching up with the awesome weddings we’ve been doing, and my little baby niece who graduated last night (that makes me feel so old…..).

So, I just wanted to tell you that this blog is going to be SLAMMED and smacked-down with some goodness very soon!!  Be on the watch! :)

The main highlight next week will be our little guy who is turning 2!!  I can hardly believe it, nor do I want to, but he is growing up.  BOO!

Here he is playing his game with Baba where he balances on him, and then falls like a tree, flat down on the bed….Please ignore our messy bedroom, and the fact that my husband is in his underwear.  (life)
