One of the things I do love about living in this state is the wet season which in turn brings use the most amazing plethora of wildflowers I have ever seen anywhere. In person that is. I am sure the Rainforest beats us hands down, but these prairie lands certainly bloom wonderfully....

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Nicole | 1 comment

Been at it again. Thrift shopping! This time I picked up mostly cups and small dishes. My goal is to collect an eclectic grouping of dishware for photography uses. I like mixing it up and using the pieces for aesthetics when setting up photo shoots. They help bring a splash of class,...

One of my favorite hobbies is film photography. I enjoy shooting it, developing it on my own, and printing it. Access to a darkroom at the Dallas Makerspace really helps feed my hobby and keep it active. Honestly I’d create a darkroom out of the bathroom for as long as...

Took a friend out for an adventure over the weekend for her birthday. Several of us piled into a car and made our way out to Fossil Rim just outside Glen Rose, Texas. Fossil Rim has a drive through safari and we thought it might be fun to fed the...
