All the Pretty Horses

I often go to Columbia Mall in Maryland, but forget that there is an old fashion carousel at the far end. You would think that having the carousel housed in a mall would take away the magic but, it doesn't. It's actually a welcome dose of nostalgia next to the crowded stores brimming with newfangled fads and tech-savvy teenagers. My boyfriend and I love eating ice cream and watching all the kids ride the brightly painted horses. Here's a picture I took at the end of a ride.

Zee Avi's Bitter Heart Free on Amazon!

Zee Avi's charming song Bitter Heart is on Amazon for free!! If you haven't had a chance to listen to her sweet crooning, check out her Bitter Heart video on YouTube. As a vocalist her voice is clear and beautiful in an Etta James kind of way while the music and lyrics are mellow and true. You will love it!!

Wedding Video by StillMotion

I hope you enjoy this gorgeous real life wedding shot by StillMotion.

In my mind this is what a wedding should feel like, subtly emotional yet stunningly meaning-filled. Hehe, kinda like a music video. StillMotion does a fabulous job of capturing all the unique nuances of the couple and their special day without resorting to cheesiness and cliches. I especially love how they incorporated the sounds of the day. Seems obvious that they would include laughter but the sound of rain drops and grass under foot made the already dazzling videography even more lush. Thanks to Doobybrain for sharing the wedding of his friends, Dave and Grace.

PS Would you believe that this video was shot on an digital SLR, Canon 5D Mark II? In a word, WOW. It seems that there is a whole community of filmmakers who use it. I <3 technology.

On Rainy Days...

On rainy days, I just want to listen to sad songs. It's been raining so much here in DC that we should have the greenest spring ever. Still, I sometime prefer rain clouds over rainbows.

Graphic "Designer" Pillows

I love these Adobe Suite pillows made by My Suite Stuff. The 12 x 12 handmade fleece pillows of Adobe application logos are cute, clever, and, at $15 a pop, extra affordable. Eek, I will have to pick up all of them for my web mastering, graphic designing, video editing, and photography loving boyfriend. Ooh, I hope My Suite Stuff comes out with the other 7 Suite logos and a bigger Euro sized version. Linen, would be nice.

Kudos to Dooby Brain for originally posting it on his blog.

Twilight Spoof

I needed a good laugh today. This totally did the trick.
