a walk on the snake river

The last few days I have been dreadfully sick. Usually I don't let sicknesses get to me, but this one broke me down so much I was stuck on the couch for three days solid. Yesterday I was feeling slightly better so I decided to take a brief walk down the Snake River to enjoy some of the spring weather. It's 50 degrees out now and it's starting to feel like spring. It's this time of year that I miss Seattle and all of the blooming flowers and trees. No green here. Hopefully we get a bit more snow so I can still enjoy the rest of the winter before heading south for the sun. Here are a few photos of what "spring" in Jackson looks like.

jarrod & hannah's mountain-top engagement

I was so excited when I got a call from Hannah's mom in Alabama this past week. She explained that her daughter's boyfriend was going to propose on their trip to Jackson Hole and she really wanted to have somebody document this special event. After a little coordinating with Jarrod, I sneakily hid behind the pillars at the top of the Jackson Hole gondola with butterflies in my stomach as I watched Jarrod get down on one knee through my lens. Hannah, of course, said yes, and was so excited! I'm sure the two of them were on cloud nine for the rest of their trip. Congratulations, you two, and have fun with your wedding planning!

i love snowboarding

All I can say is...I love snowboarding. It's the weeks like this that keep me going back for more, and make me realize why I chose to live in a place like this. Oh, beautiful Jackson Hole.

Teton Pow

It's been snowing here in Jackson quite a bit over the last few weeks. The bleak, dry, sub-zero sunny days seem to be transitioning into more of the fluffy white stuff. Ninety-mile-per-hour winds scoured our mountain over the past couple of days and left us with some really powder-filled zones. Here's a shot of David hitting one of his new favorite lines. Keep it coming, Mother Nature!

a winter wonderland

I'm pretty excited to share these photos with you, as they were taken with my Holga on a gorgeous Christmas Day in Jackson Hole. I had just dropped off David at the airport and was in awe of the gorgeous afternoon light that was painting the valley as I was driving home. I just love these. The second few were taken in one of my favorite places, right behind my house after a big snowstorm. Enjoy.

black & white holga photographs

The following set of photos was shot on Kodak T-Max 400 film on my holga. Most of them were taken right in my backyard, with a few left from a roof party we had last summer. Not sure that I like the lack of contrast on this film, but hey, you never know with a holga.
