Happy Holidays
Forbes and I went to Maryland for Christmas, and we both had a fabulous time. We went to DC one day and on our walk from the metro to our car I took these photos. Looking at other blogs there are so many joyful photos - I have a lot of cheer but it's this kind of shot that I enjoy taking the most. Unexpected with such a nice outcome. Happy Holidays everyone!

God Is Dead
I have to say that at first I did not want to post this image. I don't believe in this statement, but I do believe in freedom of expression. For whatever reason, I was drawn to photograph it. In some way it may relate to my struggle with spirituality, but more then anything my struggle with organized religion.

a beach in Vancouver
One of the few things I really wanted to do while in Vancouver was put my feet in the Pacific. I think Forbes thought it was a bit silly but, by the end of vacation on the last night we finally did go to a beach and I put my feet into the Pacific Ocean. Let me tell you... it was COLD! Next time I put my feet in the Pacific, hopefully it to be in Hawaii.

a work in progress
I have been working a lot on photographing my earrings and jewelry. I'm looking into purchasing a photo 'tent' to help control the light better - or I may just try to make one. As I say in the title it is a work in progress and has helped me become a bit more professional about my practice. Eventually, I will have an etsy and when I do the photographs will be amazing I promise : )

Jewelry
This past weekend I sold some of my Antique Tin Jewelry in Providence. I had SO much fun meeting people and selling my work. I continue to make new work all the time and if anyone is interested in buying any of it contact me via e-mail lillianhelengraham@gmail.com . I am in the process of starting an etsy account(I know I have been saying that for a while now) but this time I'm serious. One thing I must say though it's way cooler to meet the people you sell your work to versus selling it on the interwebs... My plan is to make two sections one for my jewelry and one for my photography. Once it's up I'll let everyone know. promise. : )
Vancouver
The jellyfish and Hydrangea were taken in and around the Vancouver aquarium. It was one of the first places Forbes and I went to while there. I know I shouldn't be judgmental but I have to say that it was the only time during the entire honeymoon when I thought to myself "the Boston Aquarium is WAY cooler then this." Seriously though the Boston aquarium is pretty rad and it took me a trip to Vancouver to really realize it. Everyone should take the time at some point in there life to visit Boston and go to that Aquarium.
The stairway and hanging succulent flower were taken at the UBC Botanical Gardens. They had suspended bridges in the trees which was where the stairs were. It was really cool and not so crowded which was nice because the Capilano suspension bridge was SO crowed comparatively. The UBC gardens was amazing and was also the same day we saw the Freedom the coyote so it will always be a special place in my memory. Though I must admit that the Capilano suspension bridge was very impressive.

Pine Needles
Before we put the pool to bed for the winter, there was a pretty big rain storm that made the entire pool covered with a blanket of pine needles. It made some really cool patterns and brought out our little friend frog - whom inspired me to make a paintbrush image of him and post on the paint animals blog.

Common Ground Fair 2009
Me and my wonderful friend Emily drove up to Unity Maine this year for the Common Ground Fair. It was fun - so many amazing artists and crafts people. I sometimes wish I lived in Maine just so I could sell my work at that fair. One thing I will say is that I felt everything was cut short at night. The fairs I remember in the past went late with fabulous countra dancing and the sort. This year it seemed like everything ended at 6, and Em and I were a bit bummed about it. We still plan on going back but... next time we plan on bringing our honeys ; )

Freedom the coyote in British Columbia
Forbes and I went to Vancouver BC for our honeymoon. One of the days, went to UBC to check out the botanical gardens and ventured off to find a deserted beach. We hiked through the rain forest to get there and it was so beautiful!! While we were on the beach enjoying the view a coyote appeared out of nowhere to check us out. He did a half circle around us, let me take a few photographs, and was on his way. It was an amazing experience. Neither of us were afraid and we both just stood still and enjoyed the encounter. We decided to name the Coyote Freedom because he seemed so free!

Details, Details, Details. So much went into planning my wedding, but one thing I was really happy with were all the small details that made it so elegant. Here are just a few of the details shots. I had an amazing photographer who really was able to capture all of them. I also chose to have a local landscape/flower designer Nancy Henderson, who had actually also designed all the gardens at the Peirce House where we were married.
I'm getting back into the groove of things and will try to start posting more often. Thank-you to all of you who still check out this blog!
