Hello friends,
2010 has been good to us. I mean, tricky and a touch unpredictable at times, but mostly ... great. That said, I think we are collectively excited to bid adieu to 2010 and welcome in the new year. Hello 2011, you look ravishing tonight!
For this reason and others of the top secret sort, we got together this week to try the new year on for size.
Man, I love these folks!
All images by Allison V. Smith (which explains why she's not in any of them...)
Brother Chris has loads of gems on his blog right now. Check it out. It's called Adventures in Magnetism. Oh, the many sides of Mr. Plav.
He was lucky enough to be in a helicopter over downtown for the demolition at First Baptist Academy/Church building recently. (Personal note: my primary school is now DUST!) It's incredible to me how remarkably peaceful these images are. One of the many reasons I love this artform. Silence.
From the sky, the world is pretty gorgeous - even demolition. It's not so bad from the ground either, as evidenced in this next shot by Brother Chris.
So, this is a natural foray into the sentiments those of you who know me know that I simply cannot resist. Cue the sappy music. Apologies, I'll make it quick.
Thank you. Thank you to photography for making me fall completely and unendingly in love with you. Thank you to the photo industry for taking care of my family and me. Thank you to the people of this industry for being supportive and exciting and nurturing, in your own special way. Thank you, mostly though, today, to all of my darling sisters and brothers for allowing me into your lives and your art. I'm honored and blessed.
Happy Day After Thanksgiving Everyone.

With triple-digit temps a given, August in the great state of Texas is a bit of a beating. Anyone who has anywhere else to go, beats a hasty retreat from the steam and sweat. Sister Allison is one of those lucky few able to escape. Allison's annual summer pilgrimage to Maine gives her an enviable break from the heat AND she returns with loads of images for her very happy rep. :)
Sometimes cutting an onion will make you cry. Brother Richard learned that other times...
Have a fantastic, smiley weekend!
A quick hello. This one from Brother Steven.
I remembered I started this blog to share the gorgeousness that comes out of the artists I'm so fortunate to work with and not to write a bunch of blah, blah, blah. So for the next few posts I think I'll just zip it.
