Vancouver, BC. 2010 Olympic games. What an experience.

So blessed to have come together with beautiful people from all over this marvelous world. An endeavor we will never forget.

Last week was madness. Filled it with a trip to Orlando for a few meetings. But the beautiful part… we found this gem of a place in Mukilteo upon my return home. Diamond Know Brewery. Holy moly. Do yourself a favor and go tomorrow.

Reason # 7,342 that the PNW is absurdly better than most places.

Oh, and the polaroid… throwin’ it back to my first camera experience when my friend and I would take snaps of ourselves and send them to our AOL girlfriends. True Story.

See ya next Monday. Til then… find something awesome to do with your week–which obviously won’t include things like watching The Bachelor, buying a Kia or punching kittens.

Peace.

So here is how this conversation goes down…

You: Hey Ben, you suck at blogging.
Me: ARRRRRRRRRGGGGHH. (yes. that was in a creepy pirate voice.)
You: Seriously. Blog a few of my images already.
Me: But you see…. we had a turtle problem. Our turtle got stuck in the toilet and I’ve been trying to get him out for days.
You: You have a turtle?
Me: Well…..
You: You’re lame. And not very funny.
Me: Ahhhhh snap. I’ll try to get my crap together.

And then I posted this image of Karl+Emily. Because it is awesome. And there is much, much more to come. I’ve been out of town this week and just got back in today. Next week is a similar story.

Here’s to a beautiful rainy day in Seattle and taking beautiful photos of beautiful people.

Emily.
