What happens when you mock yoga?

You strain the muscles in your lower back.
I ‘m joking, I honestly don’t believe in intentional universal or holy malice.
However, I do believe what comes around goes around. This past weekend at yoga I wasn’t paying attention or listening to my body, took my already tender back muscles and totally knocked them out [...]

Photo Friday: Emotion

Photo Friday: Emotion
Originally uploaded by mehannon

This is what happens when the tragedy of no more hot chocolate comes to play. I have a really great flip book of photos where you can actually see the fit unfold, unfortunately I’m not sure how to upload it to my blog. I felt a little mean until I [...]

Downward facing dog, you asshole

I can truly say I’ve been practicing yoga (kinda faithfully) for almost a year now. I love it, don’t think I can or want to live without. Yoga helps off set my anxiety, (that and a ton of supplements). Yoga is like your mom. Unconditional love, will wrap her arms around [...]

He’s my dad’s age and all I could think of was, “damn, he has a fine ass”.

For Christmas I bought my mom two tickets to see Bruce Springsteen in concert. Sure when I bought two tickets (you can’t buy a person only one, that’s wrong) I had a good idea that I would be the one holding the second ticket. But isn’t the best gift we can give our parents [...]

How not to build family traditions (Easter Edition)

When I became a mother, I really thought I’d have the holidays down. Traditions a flowin’, Maggie would beg to come home on the holidays as she got older. She would have serious nostalgia when it came to home, the holidays, and the traditions we created. I would bake stuff, we would [...]

Things I love to hear

The song Gospel, by The National
“The sun is so bright, I need my sunglasses”
Big belly laughs from a three year old as I dance super ridiculous  at 6:00 am and then I laugh equally as hard as she imitates the dance.
The sound of steam rushing out as I sit in the sauna after my [...]

Things you just don’t want to hear

 ”You look like you’re feeling better”, after having a horrible chest infection for a week and this was the first day I wore makeup to work in 3 days.  Apparently makeup does matter.
Your boss saying “I’m really worried about the economy” which will subsequently having you wonder about your job security for a good 4 [...]

Just when I thought it was safe….

I’ve recently been contemplating dating, that is until I read this blog post.  Whether or not it’s true, it definitely got me thinking about the complications of first dates. The idle chit chat, the awkwardness, the uncomfortable silences. I’m not quite sure how I want to progress on this thought,  although if anything like the [...]

Remembering my way

After the last post and the one comment I received regarding the photograph, I got the kick in the ass I needed. I read the comment at 12:30 am after a horrible dream I had about a situation I had been facing earlier that day at work. It hit me, I was living my life [...]

Playing

I’m going to be in another show in April and what I’ve come to discover is people really don’t like to buy photographs of people they don’t know. That is unless the subject or the photographer is famous. So I’ve decided to try something out to make it different. Even though photo journalistic photography is [...]
