Prasai's Taste of Thai

I love Thai food so much! My husband and I split a plate like this a few times a week. The food is so flavorful and so good for you. If you have never had Thai food, find someone who has and make them take you.

To Pocatello ... and home again

Good afternoon, friendlies. I had to take a 2-hour trip to Pocatello, so I thought it would be a good time to play with my camera. I really do live in a beautiful state, even in bleak fall weather!

This is my all-time favorite photo from the shoot!

I have been practicing taking pics of mountains recently.

One side of the highway was all cumulus clouds, the other side was (I want to say) sirius clouds ... the thin, wispy ones.

I was doing the whole "private-eye" thing while we were at the stop light. I just really like this shot!

I was hoping for a less cloudy sunset, but I won't complain. The clouds diffused the light and made for some interesting silhouettes!

This is one of my favorites ....

So it this one.

I just loved the soft pastels of the mountain and sunset. This is my new facebook header!

Cracked Doll Makeup

My younger sister (19) wants to be a broken doll for Halloween. Although I don't observe the day myself, I thought it might be neat to do a quick photo shoot with the look! So, I let her practice on my face. Needless to say, she broke it.

This one is part of my #‎fivedayblackandwhitechallenge‬ !

Black and White Portraits

I have been playing around more with portrait photography. As you may have seen in my previous posts, people aren't generally my main subject! I have a dream of conceptual photography, so I decided I really need to learn portraits!!! I advertised on Facebook that I would be doing free shoots to get models (hehehe free stuff always works!). The top girl is my younger sister. The little boy is my Facebook find.

Super happy thoughts your way!

Textures From Oregon

I love texture. In fact, in my first photography class ever, that's all I wanted to take pictures of! Now I have developed to where I can take a picture of something with texture to create something as a whole. But, old habits die hard. While enjoying artist's block in Oregon, I reverted back to my original style: texture and close-ups. Oh, and a pair of birds.

Enjoy your Monday!!!

Duck Butts

The theme of my visit to Oregon seemed to be ducks. More specifically, duck butts. I thought I would share their cute little behinds with you. Enjoy your Sunday!

Water on the Brain

Good morning everyone ^.^

I had to get to a class early, and I couldn't help but jump out of the car and snap the pictures. The ones with the AIV Photography watermark are also mine, I just forgot to save them without the logo.

I was inspired by the mystique of the whole setting ... rising sun behind trees being sprayed with mist. I chose to do the images in a blue monotone to add to the feel. What do you think?
