Single Photo Friday:: Ride

Getting back on the road after a brunch stop on Sebago Lake.

 

Welcome to warm weather, friends! The Weekend Warrior and I hit the road this past weekend on our bike. It was an awesome first ride of the season, and remains on my mind as I sit in front of my computer on this sunny Friday.

What kinds of outdoor things do you have planned for the weekend?

Single Photo Friday:: Brunch!

Welcome to a new adventure on this here bloggity blog. A little thing I'm calling 'Single Photo Friday.' Not photos of single people (though that is a possibility), just a single photo I like. No big thing. Check back every Friday and see what it is my mind likes from week to week!

And, please feel free to leave comments. I love hearing from any and all of you!

I must have been hungry when I picked this one :)

The Inspiration I Was Looking For...

... happened when I walked into the Q Street Diner yesterday. A sunny spot in a cold winter day - seriously, the building is painted bright yellow - with walls covered in movie and music and political memorabilia, the Q Street Diner is just what I needed to help shake this case of the blahs.

How can you go wrong with Bogart and Nixon sharing the same wall space?

An empty window after the lunch rush. I could stare at it for hours and still not get every detail...

Here's a story in the Maine Switch, in case you want to go see for yourself. Don't forget to check out the life size cardboad cut-out of of Humphrey Bogart...

Get up and Go-Go

Rock & Roll Diner - Scarborough, ME.

'Tis the Season for parties and gatherings and craziness AND the Bakery Collective's annual Photo A Go-Go. So, if you are in the Portland Maine area and wondering what you should do on Friday, December 12, the G0-Go is the perfect party.

Plus, it's your chance to get amazing framed photographs at unbelievable prices. While you are there you will be entertained, fed, and liquored up (if you so choose). You may even find yourself shmoozing with talent that comes from all over the country to support this annual festive fundraiser.

The image above is my donation this year, the first time I have ever donated a color print. A sign of my times, perhaps, and how my work and vision are shifting somewhat.

I just happen to work directly below their space, so I took a peak around yesterday as they were hanging the show and I have to say there is amazing work to be seen/enjoyed/purchased. Click here to see an online sample of the work submitted. Get ready to be inspired.
