Nautical dreams

February 22, 2012, by Karen in Blog, Uncategorized

A lot of people fear change. Call me strange, but I thrive on it. When I was young, my mom worried about me because I always got bored with day-to-day life. I always needed something big in the queue. In that sense, I haven’t changed a bit. It’s why I love the mobile lifestyle. We …

February 12, 2012, by Karen in Blog

In my last post, “A Tale of Two MINIs,” I told the story of Pixel (our last MINI), and Red (our new MINI). I included a lot of awesome photos of Pixel … but only iPhone shots of Red. At the time of the post, I hadn’t even gotten a chance to properly photograph him. …

A Tale of Two MINIs

February 5, 2012, by Karen in Blog

I’m a MINI Cooper nut. In “proper” terms, I am a MINIAC. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that. I have been in love with Mini Coopers for years… it’s just something about the style, mixed with quality, mixed with fun. I was once told that you don’t just …

Taking my creativity into the analog world

January 30, 2012, by Karen in Blog

For a good percentage of my average day, I live in the digital world. I’m either working on some kind of design project, editing photos, working on web sites, or doing some plain old digital housekeeping. I love all these things. I really do. But it is nice to get out from behind the screen …

Riding out the winter in San Diego

January 22, 2012, by Karen in Blog

Yes. You got it. We’re cold wussies. When it starts to get cold, we migrate south. Last year, we spent the winter coasting around Florida, and this winter, we’re hanging out in San Diego. If Ben and I HAD to plant ourselves somewhere permanently, this would probably be the place. The weather is perfect all …

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

January 1, 2012, by Karen in Blog

It’s hard to believe the year has come to an end. It seems like just yesterday that Ben and I were bringing in 2011 in a hot tub with our fellow bus nuts at a rally in Florida. One thing is for sure though… We took on 2011 and jam-packed it with events, friends, family …

A week at the Light Workshops

December 29, 2011, by Karen in Blog

We spent a night light painting at Sunny Acres during Ben’s class at the Light Workshops in Los Osos, CA. I liked this shot I got of the cute little car peeking out of the garage. Hi folks! As you can probably tell, I’m playing catch-up again here on the blog. Between projects, meet-ups with …
