A lot of my work is in process, and I doubt it would be interesting to see a bunch of posts about how far I am on a knitting project or how the staple of my diet is avocados or whatever.</p> <p>But an even bigger problem is that a lot of the work I do is photography on film, which can take me awhile to get developed. As of a couple weeks ago, I have also been taking a workshop class at <a href="http://www.nesop.com/" title="NESOP" target="_blank">NESOP</a>! I’ve always wanted to take a color darkroom class, but due to lack of monies and time, it had never really been possible. So far, I love it. I miss being in the darkroom and I have boxes full of color negatives which can finally see the light of day / the dark of a darkroom. Hah!</p> <p>So am I supposed to take pictures of my pictures? I’m not sure. But while I figure that out, and in between updates on projects, I will post some of my older photography!</p>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/16051272606http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/16051272606Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:47:03 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luiv6uLnVn1qbt59oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15726898600http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15726898600Thu, 12 Jan 2012 12:00:06 -0500photographyfeathersnature<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkpsawWQ4x1qbad5jo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15674979364http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15674979364Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:00:06 -0500photographylandscapemedium format<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxmdzc4Yhh1qdk1ido1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong><em>zucchini broccoli tortilla crust pizza</em></strong></p> <p>makes two pizzas: <br/>two large tortillas <br/>one zucchini, sliced lengthwise and grilled on both sides <br/>one small head broccoli, steamed and chopped <br/>3/4 cup shredded mozzarella <br/>1 small garlic clove, minced or pressed <br/>2 tsp olive oil <br/>salt & pepper to taste</p> <p>preheat oven to 400 F, with a pizza stone if you have it.</p> <p>mix garlic with oil and spread on 2 tortillas. pre-bake each tortilla for 3-5 minutes until firm and remove from oven.</p> <p>on pre-baked tortillas, spread zucchini ribbons, broccoli, and then cheese. bake for 5-10 minutes each until cheese is gooey. cut into sections and enjoy /</p>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15660984433http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15660984433Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:07:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhsdp479fg1qbycdbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15660979818http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15660979818Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:04:41 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxf4w9meVM1qdk1ido2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxf4w9meVM1qdk1ido1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxf4w9meVM1qdk1ido3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Variations.

Which only ended up as nested eggs because my brain was champagne fizzy, but it seems kinda appropriate for the start of a new year. The eggs are being turned into cat toys with the help of some cat nip. Also, I started the second half of my two-tone cowl today. Can’t wait to wear it, seeing as today it was 11 degrees this morning. Yikes.</p>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15333333608http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15333333608Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:30:00 -0500own work<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwrxet4l8C1r6bctno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15333329735http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15333329735Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:29:55 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_loier3Rql61qa8awvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15333324781http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15333324781Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:29:48 -0500photographyantlersblack and white<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsxuqte9S01qbycdbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>By <a href="http://moderncraft.blogspot.com/2007/09/peter-wuthrich.html">Peter Wüthrich</a>.</p>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15333320156http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15333320156Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:29:41 -0500booksinstallation<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx7kyqWxuE1qdk1ido1_r2_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Thinking about clouds as I pack up for my return to Boston. I started a hand drawn typeface yesterday, which I thought I’d flesh it out today. Here’s the first bespoke typeface for this site! Many to come, I think.</p>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15229185191http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15229185191Mon, 02 Jan 2012 23:46:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx5uw9QeQh1qdk1ido1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I can’t be happier to have said ‘goodbye’ to 2011. A year which started in a way that no one could have ever imagined, setting the tone for months full of uncertainty. Yet, I learned a lot from 2011. About myself and my family. About the fragility of everything. About relationships - the bad (awful) and the good (great). About gardening and cooking, photography and knitting. And so I’m ready for whatever this year brings.</p> <p>I’m ready to not only work harder, but to work <em>more</em>. To be less caught up in my own expectations and simply do it. Consider this my resolution: a daily project for 2012. For design, photography, crafts, and food - for making. And to keep up with documenting the process.</p> <p>2012 started today with champagne, movies about dreams, learning to crochet, a midnight phone call from the boy, chicken and waffles, and taking an awesome dog for a walk in 60 degree weather. All with an old friend at her new home in Austin. I think things are looking good so far :)</p>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15175823288http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15175823288Sun, 01 Jan 2012 23:32:00 -0500own work<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfaxzfvHiW1qav0yso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15175671147http://lesslazy.tumblr.com/post/15175671147Sun, 01 Jan 2012 23:31:00 -0500foodphotography
