5 things I loved during the snow

Over the last few days, we had quite a bit of snow in Seattle. I always love it when the pretty snowflakes turn my neighborhood into a sugar coated winter wonderland. Fortunately my neighborhood got spared and didn’t become part of the  300,000+ homes in the Pacific Northwest that lost power. This means that for me it was just a calm time to walk in the snow, talk about the crazy weather with the baristas that lived close enough to walk to work, enjoy time with my husband, relax, read, draw and marvel at the beauty of nature.

Here are my top 5 things I loved during the snow:

1. Getting a chance to rediscover my visually changed neighborhood and post new photos to Instagram.

2. Walking to Capitol Hill with Elmo-Bandito

3. Realizing that my brand new rain boots designed by the talented Jessica Swift turned out to be perfect snow boots (with a thick pair of socks inside).

4. Walking by a bunch of freshly made snowmen, here are two of my favorites.

5. Drawing some penguins and snowflakes.

Granny Smith and the Ginger Bear

I enjoy seeing other people doing fun things with food. Well, over the last couple of days, I came across these two images which I want to share with you.

On Instagram @joshurawr posted Granny Smith and her husband:

And just a couple of days later my friend Sumit posted this adorable Ginger Bear to facebook, explaining why he needed to be sacrificed to become part of a delicious Shehperd’s pie. To find out about Sumit’s recipe, check out the post on his blog:  ThatsGreat.org.

A little glimpse into my Instagram gallery

A few weeks ago I got approached by @PedroAlmeida one of my Instagram followers, asking me if I wanted to participate in a new multimedia web project on Público newspaper, a Portuguese daily news site. Never having been asked anything like this before, I felt honored to be one of the photographers they picked for this series and sent him 10 photos that best represent my style on Instagram and a brief blurb about my experience with daily social photography. Just a few weeks later, I got an email that it’s up on their site. Extra bonus points if you speak Portuguese and can actually read the description on the right.

iSad

There couldn’t be a better word to describe today’s news than “iSad”. The creative genius, innovator and visionary, Steve Jobs passed away at the age of 56 after a long battle with cancer.

Instagram is a fast growing iPhone app and social media community where people share photos from around the world. It’s hard to imagine that this amazing community would have never happened without Steve Jobs! Lots of Instagram users define themselves as “iPhonographers” which is why I’d like to dedicate this post to the man that paved the way for all of this to happen and the people using his technology every day!

RIP, Steve Jobs!
