The rest of September 2011

I made these pages for my book so I might as well post them.

We had fun with friends, an electric smoker, and we took a trip to Idaho.

The Tutu Project

Alright. Here we go.

So this actually happened a couple weeks before the trip to the Balloon Fiesta with Lucy

But since we're all mixed up here anyway ...  I'm doin' it.

So in September (of 2011) I got to go on a road trip with Bob Carey (and Sophie!) from Chicago to New York.

Bob is the photographer I interned for the summer of 2010. 

He's been working on this project for years. The nutshell version: he dresses up in a pink tutu and photographs himself in beautiful landscapes all over the world to raise money for breast cancer.

We roadtripped for about a week and then I got to spend a week with Bob and his amazing wife, Linda at their home in New Jersey and their Studio in Brooklyn. 

I got to go along with Bob to a photograph a farm for a food magazine and we got to go visit the new WTC for the 10th anniversary for 9/11

Want to know why we haven't posted in a while?

Plain and simple, I'm getting lazy. But in my defense.... Do you see all those red dots? Those are all the places we've been that I need to blog about. It's pretty daunting. 

And this is a page out of a giant book I'm making of all our travels. And since books are much more fun to read than blogs it gets priority. But I'm almost done so I'm going to start posting some pieces from the book so y'all can see that I really haven't been sitting around the house doing crafts and cooking a baby for the last 5 months.
