did you have you a good weekend?  the hub and i went to lextingon, nc where he got to race and i got to meet up with some dear friends.  we left in plenty of time to get to asheville yesterday for the big crafty, where artist after artist blew me away.  i’ll be back later today with some snapshots of the show and what i purchased, so stay tuned!

mandy from the light fantastic describes her photography as sleepy and dreamy, can you feel it? i’ve been daydreaming since i started browsing her shop, and love the vintage inspired scenery and beautiful muted colors she uses.

kristi lives her life through the lens.  she believes that aaron siskind best describes the way she feels about photography with this quote: “photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. what you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” i can see how the beauty and the passion from this quote truly weaves itself into her work.  what a beautiful life she lives through her lens!

somehow, visiting diana’s city light photography shop makes me feel well educated.  maybe it’s the way she’s captured books, telephones and typewriters or maybe it’s because her work is so beautifully mature, that i feel she’s schooled me by just browsing.  either way, the depth of her shop keeps me intrigued and her lovely blog makes me laugh!

welcome to heather evans photography! heather does such an amazing job of capturing true femininity and nostalgia that takes you back to a simpler time.  in her words, her “photos exude a powerful sense of solitude that negates the hustle and bustle of the outside world.”  so here’s to taking a moment to escape the the business of this friday!
