Chicago by Bicycle

 




























We took a trip to Chicago and experienced the city by bike last weekend. Here is a shot from the trip. More to come. I think this might be the start of a new series.

It has been too long. I have been busy - Life is good.

New Issue of Solace Magazine

There is an image of me - not of mine - but of me - and some amazingly gifted friends of mine (we were working on a film together), by Photographer Mitch Ranger, in the new issue of Solace Magazine. If you get a chance to browse through a copy check it out. Thank you to Mitch and to Sally and Gwen at Plenty Creative. The image is part of an article on the future of film in Grand Rapids. I was working as Wardrobe Supervisor on a recent film shot in Grand Rapids and Mitch and the Plenty Creative team stopped by to shoot images for the magazine. Thanks guys! The images are amazing. Like I said earlier- if you have a chance check it out! -and check out the links above to see more of their work!

...catching up - some old/new work. more soon. Playing with shadow. Waiting for Spring!

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Link to MLive.com for more on the movie

















Shot two amazing weddings in January and then went straight into working on a film. No time to breathe let alone blog. Here are some images from the film - not taken by me but by the Press. I was working with Sabra Temple on wardrobe for the film putting in 12 to 18 hours a day! It is good to be back. I am catching up on sleep and getting back into the swing of things again. Will post more soon. Tim and Sam are happy to have me home again - Dylan is off to LA, he flew out of Chicago this morning! Life is good.

Happy New Year!!!

To have a tree or not to have a tree -this is the question. Every year it's a struggle. Cutting down a live tree - thus shortening it's time here on earth and it's contribution to the beauty and wellness of the environment is not on my list of favorite things to do. Then there is the real issue - the gradual death, dropping of needles, and future disposal of said tree... it all makes me crazy. Needless to say I am not fond of the artificial tree - not a fan of fake - unless it is somehow over-the-top, like a really cool vintage silver or white tree (which we do not own - it might make everything oh so easy, but most likely not, as I am really good at over thinking everything -always). And then there is the struggle with the commercialization of Christmas, although I must admit that I am a fan of giving and receiving presents and I like Christmas cards.
It usually comes round to the light vs. the darkness of winter and it's pull on my soul. Those little lights on the tree are just too beautiful! Twinkling Christmas lights are a midwinter pick-me-up representing the light we can be for each other and the world and the gift given so long ago. So once again... as always, the light will win. There will be a symbol of the season in our home somewhere, in some way. It is never traditional but always beautiful, covered with large white origami stars that I made with my girlfriend Susan and the boys long, long, ago on a dark winter afternoon, and it is always filled with those wonderful little white sparkling beacons of hope.
I guess it's time for long walk in the woods or a rummage round an old factory building in the neighborhood to seek out the fallen branch that will carry the little white lights of life and hope this year.
Peace -Sandi
