We featured these knives at the Villager for the first time shortly before Amos and I moved to New York.  I love the detail put into every facet of the construction.  The handles are smooth and balanced, with the blade being every bit as beautiful.  I'm hoping to get a pocket knife of this style for my grandpa for Christmas.

This is probably my favorite handle style.  It really is that golden color with green shot through, and on the side like this you can see all the layers of green in the handle.  I chose a golden background to match the honey color of the wood.

This is a close-up of the marble handle of a wine opener.  The intricate pattern of the marble is truly breathtaking, and I used this textured green paper background to highlight all the earth tones of the stone.

This knife features Damascus steel, which is pressed over and over to create this pattern and a very strong blade.  I photographed this knife using some day-old bread we had from Amos's recent baking spree.

So the fam is back in Bama today.  We took Momma and Josh to the airport this morning after eating sausage links and thick waffles at a diner close to the airport.  Despite the 40 degree temperatures and rainy, overcast, lame skies, we had a pretty good relaxing time.  We shopped, walked, ate out, and vegged out while watching movies.  Overall, good times, just more low-key than I'm used to.  I think that worked for them too though.  Can you tell that I'm still really tired, lol?  I feel exhausted!!

I just bought a Nikon D80.

As of June or so, I will not be working at the restaurant anymore.  I've been planning to stay at home with the baby and focus more on photography, which I have kind of taken a break from recently.  In that spirit, I landed a new client this past week!  I'll be helping Lauren, owner of the Louel Boutique here in Clinton, by taking all her product/misc photos for her new website, promo material, and other misc uses.  She is an adorable, gorgeous, sweet person, and I cannot wait to work with her.

It's true, I have a website now.  It's

Nothing fancy, but just a place to let the world know that I'm here and that I take photos.
Check it out, let me know what you think!  It's brand new, so I would love some feedback.

I got another package from the Villager earlier this week, but only had time to photograph/edit the items today.  Luckily there were only four products, so it didn't take long.

This is a pendant/pin made of found objects, recalling the 1920s and 1930s.
