I'm it! The blog tag game.
I got
hit.
At first I thought maybe I could quietly get away without posting this one, but then I got hit again. And I realized it was either post or get hit by everyone for the next 3 months. :) So here's the scoop: this is a chain blog, and you have to list 8 interesting facts about yourself, then tag 5 other photographers Like I said, I've been tagged twice now -- once by Sara from Whitebox Weddings and once by Michael (with his excellent 80's rock hair!!!) Juliano of Moments by Michael. I've dragged my feet way too long on posting this, so before I get hit again, here goes!
8 little old facts about moi:
1. I am a knee driver. My dad taught this technique to me & my sisters when we were learning to drive. It was to be employed for *emergency use only* (i.e., if you were to come across a situation where you were suddenly unable to use your hands to steer the car.) Much to my husband's horror, I knee drive ALL THE TIME. In fact, I'm terribly good at it. I can even make turns. It comes in very handy while eating two-handed snacks (like a double quarter pounder for instance, which is another one of my bad road habits).
2. I have an unreasonably passionate disgust for anything and everything orange. The taste, the color....but worst of all....the smell. If you peel an orange near me, I'm likely to get a little angry.
3. For a period of about 6 months of my freshman year in college, I worked as a Penn State security guard. I was required to wear a police uniform. You know those little white gloves they wear when directing traffic? Had those. The bright orange rain coat? Wore that. And of course, the ultimate cop accessory -- you know it....the little geometric cap. I wish I had a photo because I'm sure it looked ridiculous. BUT...it was worth every ounce of humiliation during football season. While all of the other freshman were up in their nosebleed spot in the stands, I was down on the field in Beaver Stadium. Standing next to JoePa and the entire team. I can only imagine how reassured they were by my ability to offer them protection should something go wrong....
4. I love adventures. I've been skydiving, parasailing, rock climbing, whitewater rafting (3 times, only fell out of the boat once), cliff jumping, swung (and dropped) from a 30 foot high rope swing in Hawaii, and skiied above cloud level in Utah. I used to do a lot of mountain biking, and if I didn't come home with a serious collection of bumps, cuts, and bruises, it wasn't a good ride. But I also love the everyday unexpected adventures with Jed... like chopping and stacking wood in the summer & fall, shoveling (I know, crazy, right?), going on a random drive together. We like working together, and always have. I dug up this shot of us in his parents' garage in college just after we had finished building a loft for my dorm room. We were so proud, and had a blast the whole day. :) That was 11 years ago, and we still love doing projects together!
5. I have terrible balance when I'm walking slowly or standing still. I am always bumping into walls/tables/people and apologizing... or falling/tipping over for no apparent reason. All attempts at yoga end in disaster.
6. I shovel manure in my free time.....and I really enjoy it. My horse follows me around the pasture while I work. He has a big personality and I'm kind of fascinated by him. Sometimes he steals my shovel. He'll grab it with his teeth and shake his head up and down. Sometimes he'll bite onto part of the wheelbarrow and try to tip it over. Recently, he has discovered the beauty of pulling on my shoelaces. In the winter, we play tag almost every day. Once in a while we bicker about silly things, such as where and where not to place hooves, why it's not okay to whap me in the face with his tail, and who is the boss of whom. Sometimes I'll educate him on the finer points in life (i.e., the dog is not a toy, snow is not considered food, I am not a treat machine, and our favorite ongoing debate -- I am not a rodeo cowgirl when it's windy outside). I'm sure we look like part of a circus act running around together. Also, when no one is around, I sing to him. I'm a terrible singer, but for some reason, he seems to love it. Occasionally, we bond over lifesavers. He likes cherry best.
7. I love cooking and baking, and I take my time at both of them. They're kind of luxurious activities for me. If I'm planning on making something, even something really simple, I have to set aside a good 2-3 hours -- minimum. What's the rush? I'll drink a glass of wine and make a big mess and occasionally stop to dance with my dog. For some reason, Jed and I always have interesting and inspiring conversations when I'm cooking (he hates cooking, but he's a great stirrer/chopper/kitchen companion). It's something I look forward to. :)
8. I had a VERY short-lived stint as a model when I was a kid. Are you ready? Check out my comp card for a good laugh. HA!
Okay.....I'm terrible at chain letters!!! I never EVER pass them on like you're supposed to, but I'll make an exception on this one. I have to tag 5 others, so I figured I'd hit up a few new photographers I've recently chatted with. The next victims:
Khara Plicanic
Tom Spader
Katrina Sollenberger
One of my old pals:
Robert Kaussner
And someone I've never ever met, but I just found her site and I think her images are just the purtiest!
Leigh Miller
Have fun guys!
