You leave for three months, and things change. Mainly, several of your friends pop up with new blogs that you didn’t realize they had.
My friend James Baber has a new blog, I am QuasiJames’ Mind. A brilliant thinker who unabashedly says what he thinks. Rachel Ryle has a new blog with the best title ever, Once in a Ryle. Rachel spent an entire year rhyming every single one of her Tweets, so expect good stuff from her. Cali Harris has a new blog called Caligater with posts that will dance into your heart. Which is appropriate for an award-winning dancer. My former Schenkein colleague and friend Abbey O’Neal has a blog called Days Like These about living with purpose. Her writing is striking me right at the heart as it is a lot of things I am working on right now.
And…a belated shout friend to my friend Ryan Behner. Ryan committed to doing a photo a day in 2009, which he actually followed through on. And not only did he do a photo a day, they were absolutely brilliant. Before I left for my trip, Ryan was so kind as to do a photo walk with me to give me tips on photography. He is as kind as he is talented. And every time he looks at my photos, he must reflect upon how those two hours were wasted. Fear not Ryan, when I get back I’m going to waste more of your time as I really want to get better at this.

Oh, Elaine.
New rule. Every time you say, “Oh, Elaine” I'm going to say, “Ef yeah!” or perhaps “Ef yes.”
Oh, Elaine. This is awesome. Thanks for the kind words. Can't wait to see you back in the states and out with the camera.
ps. your photos have been awesome.
I am so excited to start learning photography. Especially from a master. See you in a few short weeks!
You're such a doll.
I *did* drop a little blog bomb while you've been away! And it looks like I'll have some other blogs to add to my reader…
I've lurved reading your posts and gazing longingly (aka drooling-on-keyboard-ly) at your photos. You inspire me, lady!
I can't wait til I'm employed and can afford a real camera and pester you with questions about exposure and ISO and words I don't even know how to ask yet.
Awe thanks Cali!!! So excited we are rooming together at SXSW by the way. That week will be SUCH a blast. And a little bit of TROUBLE ; )
SO much trouble.
Also? I love that you have the “logo” on your header. Seriously – love it.
