Chili Peppers and Easter
Tuesday, March 18, 2008 at 07:32PM One of the bummers about not getting to post as often, is that you think you should have something monumental to say when you do. When you post every day, i'ts like "here's another cup of coffee, big whoop." So, that's my warning that nothing monumental is coming your way. My life still mostly consists of keyboards and late nights. But I am going to hire someone to help me next month. And I've resolved to (at least try to) stop whining about my work/family life imbalance. I know I have to fix it, so I will. She says with much more confidence than she really feels inside.
So, this minute I'm loving my tendency toward early-onset senility. I'm listening to the Chili Peppers as if they are a new break-out band. It's been long enough that they seem new again. Only there's still so much nostalgia because I burned out all their albums when I was in my 20s. (Lisa if your'e reading, I still think of you every time I hear Under the Bridge). Now where did I put that Metamucil? Well, I should be honest and say that I'm also listening to their new(er) stuff. And that the opening riff to Snow is like the end of the day, plus 3 beers. Go listen if you're in a bad mood!
There has been so much going on. I keep meaning to post Katy's C-Section shoot, which was quite possibly my favorite shoot of my career. I just need to put it together as a slideshow. Because stories like that need music to sing with the pictures.
The Hot Mama shoot on Saturday was really chill. We had so much fun, and things went so smoothly...clicking along on time and everything. We went for drinks afterwards, and kept commenting about how we couldn't find chaos anywhere. I also realized that Hot Mama shoots are more than playing dress-up for a day. They're a way for women to remember parts of themselves that we all tend to forget about. They are a necessity. And SO FUN! I love the team we have going with Tina doing the catering, Robyn doing makeup and Tonie doing hair. Everyone is so good at what they do. It's smooth sailing. Only bad thing is that I'm so swamped, it might take me fourteen years to edit through them.
In the mean time, here are some shots from Easter.
Come visit me at Shutter Sisters in the morning!

#2- Lucky, lucky is any employee of Relish.
#3- You and Jason listen to the mightiest music. Don't you owe me a birthday present or something?
#4- My knees goes weak at the thought that you were so blessed to photographically midwife real life into being.
#5- Isn't it a marvel that the day would come when you could go on a witch-hunt and not find a single glitch anywhere? Congrats on the Hot Mama shoot. Peace. What a concept!
#6- That photo of that phat baby crawling on the grass...is he not saying "You talkin' to me?" (... OR if you're from Maui, "What, I owe you money?")
#7- Your art... your being... amazes me.
So, so, so, so proud.

Found your site through Shutter Sisters and I'm so glad I did! Your photography is gorgeous and so inspirational. I was wondering if I could ask you a question: what are the technical aspects of getting that beautiful high-key black and white I see so often here? Thanks and keep up the great work!
Ma: you ROCK. I love the "witchhunt" analogy... nicely put. And "What - I owe you money?" HA. Too much funny for one morning. I am so happy I stopped in.
Maile: Maile, Maile, Maile. You Are magic. And your black & whites really, really are lovely. And who doesn't dig some Chili Pepper riffs from awesome time to awesome time. Woot.
