So inspired by the work of Bill Zindel. Came across his flickr today…amazing, there is so
much to look at. I also like his valentine piece too…wait I like it all! See even more here.

Just discovered the talented, Coco Amardeil…amazing photography with a bit of humor and brilliant
color. She photographed all the products for La cerise sur le gâteau.

Letha Wilson photocopy work are simple and stunning and
inspiring.  See her wide body or work on her website.

My friend Fran & I were inspired by the diptych series, Persona by Jason Travis. He
photographs people alongside their everyday possessions. We tried it…see Fran’s.

I still cannot believe that it is already 2011. Where does the time go? Laura’s little guy
