it's really not.  it's more like a roller coaster.  :)  with all the ups and downs and quick turns and fast pace...  the last handful of summers have been filled with concerts, events, weddings, making DNA (work), editing photos and bbqs.  all good things, but in new england, the summertime is short.  here and gone before you know it.  and i always miss going to the beach!  i finally had a free weekend and made the best of it.  horseneck beach down in westport, ma.  perfect day!  not a cloud in the sky!  not too crowded!  and...no seaweed!!  woo hoo!  my cousin beth rounded up the troops.  i was the first to hit the sand.  KMD

jennifer always sends me links to other cool photographers or crafty artsy sites that people are talking about on the forums she visits.  i might as well share them with the world (a.k.a. the one person that reads this blog, my father.  hello father.)  hehehe. 

seriously though.  there are some creative people out there.  i always dig around for ideas on the interweb.  check out this site about funky paper designs.  sick right?

i subscribe to the FREE photojojo newsletter, which put out an article back in march about dope business card designs.  even better?  this site, which is dedicated to posting crazy business card designs.  i think i want to go letterpress....

aw yeah.  KMD

Time will bring the real end of our trial
One day they'll be no remnants
No trace, no residual feelings within ya
One day you won't remember me

Your face will be the reason I smile
But I will not see what I cannot have forever
I'll always love ya, I hope you feel the same

Oh you played me dirty, your game was so bad
You toyed with my affliction
Had to fill out my prescription
Found the remedy, I had to set you free

Away from me
To see clearly the way that love can be
When you are not with me
I had to leave, I have to live
I had to lead, I had to live

If I can't have you, let love set you free
To fly your pretty wings around
Pretty wings, your pretty wings
Your pretty wings around
