I was photographing some products for a friend and so decided to throw my absolute favorite camera accessory on the setup. These are Lucky Straps, the product of an amazing little Etsy store (how much I love Etsy is a completely separate “stuff I love” post). This is not a camera strap cover – it’s an entirely new strap that adds an enormous amount of attitude to a camera. The little jewely things you see there snap onto matching bits that you attach to the camera itself, allowing you to quickly remove the strap if you are doing portraits for, say, your conservative grandmother.
I’m very happy today because it’s the first time in five months that I can eat on both sides of my mouth. I got my permanent crown in after what seems like endless dentist visits and drilling, not to mention the beginning of this journey that started with soul-crushing pain. See that shadow on the far right tooth? That’s not supposed to be there. But now, I can rest and eat easy and it’s smooth sailing in toothland… until the next disaster.
When I was planning my own wedding, I looked into a lot of parks, intending to have an outdoor ceremony and reception. If you’re in the area, there’s one very important thing you need to know about Arlington and Alexandria city venues: Alexandria allows alcohol, Arlington does not. So if you’re anything like me, that crosses the entirety of Arlington facilities off the list. But it leaves all of Alexandria!
