This week I'm a slave to the computer, as I attempt to process and edit all the many, many photos taken in the last two weeks. And you guys, the weather outside is GLORIOUS. I really can't wait to get out there (she says longingly from her desk while gazing down at the street below). In the meantime, these fish were an outtake from the aquarium this weekend, and you know how I love photos of fish.I have a few internet shares for you today. First, can you tell which is a moon and which is a frying pan? Happy to report I got that one right. Second, I would like this art installation in my house please. And third, this article about Generation Z fascinated me to no end. Very different from the millennials... I wonder if this will be Ezra's generation?

What a week! Or maybe, what a weekend! We made the most of our days with lots of friends, a trip to the aquarium and the state fair. More below...Not only is Ezra standing these days, but there is a lot of tippy-toe action as he reaches for more trouble than he can handle.But back to the aquarium. That's a shark! And yeah, Ezra was mesmerized.But the jellyfish really captured his imagination...We also went to brunch this weekend, and Ezra got a bit cranky waiting around for the food. So he started chewing on his toys.And then the food came. DELISH.Sunday morning, Ralphie came over and he and Ezra wore each other out. It was AWESOME. This photo was taken when I tried to get them to snuggle. They have some work to do in that category.Ralphie is also an amazingly sharp dresser, and he left a ton of hand-me-downs for Ez that we are very excited about. Watch out, ladies, things are gonna get FANCY.Also, having two boys in the house is a touch stressful for Magda. Poor girl. And speaking of this doll, I don't have enough photos of her this week. I might have to make up for that later.On Monday, we ventured to the fair and ate this for breakfast. Fried chicken in a waffle cone with gravy might be my new most favorite state fair food.As usual, the goats were my favorite animals.So those were the first thing we introduced Ezra to. I think he was smitten as well.He also loved the rabbits.It was kinda crowded at the fair. Good thing we got there early.I love this shot.And this is the face Ezra makes after trying his very first chocolate milkshake. Mmmmmm... more please.... Also, did I mention how exhausting the fair is?

I shot this image while photographing a lovely high school senior this week down by the Guthrie. Look at those clouds! Amazing, no? I would write more, but hey! It's a holiday weekend! My family is home! And I want to get off the computer. Have a great weekend, you guys!

Today wrapped up my big summer shoot with 3M, and we finished early with champagne. That's how I like to roll.On the way home, I drove by the lake and loved seeing all the people enjoying the end of the season from the beach. You have the teenagers sunning and jumping from the diving platform, you have the serious swimmers, the families and those just wanting to cool off. You also have the sail boats in the distance. It was quite lovely.I am truly hoping to work from my jammies tomorrow... but we'll see. Then I'm hoping for a wonderful holiday weekend. For your internet shares today, this first photo is AMAZING. How are they all the exact same size? I feel like it looks like something from one of the Star Wars clone movies. And for all you camera / photographer people out there, have you seen this? I still feel foolish using my phone as a camera, but this does take it to a new level.

I'm on set all week for more 3M shoots, and today we got to play with these for props! A few of them are mine, and some belong to other members of the crew, but it's always so fun to open up and play with antique cameras. I was beginning to arrange these when it was time to begin shooting the other set we were working on, and when I returned these were all ready to go for their own shoot, so I never had time to straighten them properly for my (unimportant) blog. But I still adore them.For your internet shares of the day, this will help you fall asleep faster. I loved this article a bunch, and I didn't think I was a big fan of Mindy Kaling's (apparently I was wrong). And this is an amazing guide to the State Fair!

Today I will be snapping photos from 8 am until 7:30 pm. Soooo... I'm just gonna get this blog post out of the way and show you the beautiful and charming couple I photographed getting married last weekend. I'll do a full post later, but I thought this was a nice image to tide you over.For your internet shares of the day, this is the biggest shark I have ever seen and I am never going into the ocean again. But let's all take a breath from that and laugh at the new Macklemore video, eh? Or, if you have a shopping itch, my favorite brand of shoes is stopping production ($!$!) and you should get these adorable kicks before they're gone for good.
