I can tell when something is teetering on the edge of being old news because I’m usually the last to hear about it, so forgive me if you’re already sick to death of seeing the latest pictures from Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland. But really, how was I supposed to resist?

Everything looks amazamazing, but I got really excited when I read the casting. Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar? Yes, please! Something I may not have divulged about myself on here is that I have a huge thing for Alan Rickman. It is, admittedly, one of the reasons why I enjoy Die Hard so much.

Other cast members to be excited about: Crispin Glover (Knave of Hearts), Johnny Depp (Mad Hatter), Helena Bonham Carter (The Red Queen), Christopher Lee (The Jabberwock), Frances de la Tour (Aunt Imogene) and a slew of other familiar faces.

I’ve read on quite a few blogs that some folks are worried this film will be all style and no substance. Even if that is the case, judging by these press photos, it’ll be worth seeing anyway. I’ve always thought the story was way more terrifying than Disney’s delightful romp through Wonderland, so it’ll be fun to see that reflected in Burton’s signature style.

The only things that concern me so far are possible CG overkill and the fact that Tweedle Dee and Dum look more like Pugsley Addams.

Thanks to Kristen for the original tip-off!

Happy Father’s Day to all the papas out there!

This is a photo of my dad and brothers when I was just a twinkle in my mom’s eyes. It’s one of my favorite shots from our family album.

This last Monday Chris and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary. I hate to be a cliche, but I can’t believe it! The years have flown by, while at the same time seeming like it was forever ago that we tied the proverbial knot.

These are a few photos from our wedding, shot by my friend, Harland. We had a pretty modest affair, so we didn’t hire a photographer. In retrospect I really regret it, but I guess that’s what memories are for, eh? :)

This Saturday I’m shooting a wedding and as a result of the nerves kicking in, I can’t look at enough wedding photography! I’ve been devouring the stuff on Flickr, getting inspiration and ideas, or just squealing over the inevitable flood of warm-fuzzies.

Do you have a favorite wedding photographer, photo or memory that makes you squeal, too? Post it in the comments!

Earlier this week Allyson let me take her D90 on a test drive. I pretty much fell in love with the video capabilities, but I’m still partial to my D50 when it comes to actually shooting photos. That might change once I get back to Redding and edit the photos I shot on her camera with my lenses.

If there were ever any doubt as to what a huge dork I am (or the dorks I like to keep as company), let these videos be the living proof! I mean, really? Krumping foxgloves? What was I thinking?

Enjoy, and have a nice weekend, y’all!

I fear I’m turning into a bore; exciting clothes just don’t excite me like they used to!

All of my cutesy prints and fancy things are slowly being swapped out for plain tops and jeans. These days all I want to do is hang under the radar and blend in with the crowd, instead of stand out from it.

Forever21 was the beginning of the end for me. It’s my one-stop shop for cheap-as-free basics and quirky accessories. The mint tee (above) is the best! I also really appreciate that it’s a scoop neck because many t-shirt collars feel like borderline strangulation. I’m pretty sure I could live in long, plain-colored tees for the rest of my life, if that thought doesn’t depress Chris too much!

The occasional accent of color or texture here or there is all I really need to be happy anymore. Anything beyond that just makes me feel goofy. I’m starting to realize that there is a very fine line between fashion and function, and just how much I wanna walk that line.

Anyone else ever feel this way? I must be growing up.

This suspender skirt is the perfect example of a marriage between simplicity and spunky. All I’d need to complete the outfit is a boring top and cute sandals.

My thirst for shoes, however, will never die. Luckily, these forest green suede flats are not available in my size.

And, after all that moaning about turning an apathetic eye to my wardrobe, I have to say I really dig this dress. I don’t think I’ve ever owned anything so crazy and out there in my life, but I want it. Thank God it’s not available in my size, either!

Phew!
