We all Wish We Could Be Them

In case you're not privy to the cool world of photography/photographers, here's a fun trip that you can follow along with.

12 Rockstars of the Photography World, the self-titled Mammoth Men, embark on an annual roadtrip across the West on a huge tourbus. Their pictures rock, they're freaking hilarious, and pretty much every guy photographer worth his rocks wants to BE them.
And the girls WISH they were guys so they could be them too. Self included.

Every day, readers get to vote on the group's adventures...they do giveaways, they twitter, they do man things, they photograph EVERYTHING. It's tons of fun to read and follow along with them, and wish you had a smidgeon of their coolness.
I'm not easily impressed by, well, anything....but these guys?? ROCK MY SOCKS.

Check 'em out for some good reading and awesome pics.

News & Happenings from My Peeps

Just so you know and don't miss out (I like for everyone to be in the know so they can feel cool), you shouldn't miss the last couple posts on Casey's blog which have had some uber cool art-related themes. The video he just posted yesterday is SO, SO cool and worth the 5 minutes to watch - the end will knock your socks off.

My friend and former college roomate (now THAT would be some good blog fodder, oh my) Amy, has her own interior design biz in my former "hometown" (I used quotations because it's not actually my hometown that I grew up in, but I consider it home) Grand Rapids and she has rock'n ideas of style and decor - you should check her out. And if you're lucky you can occasionally see pictures of her adorable daughter. Although right now she's vacationing in California, the bum.

My friend and soul-sista (cuz she just "gets me") Amy ( I know a lot of Amy's) has returned to the world of blogging. She's slightly random, but her posts are thought-provoking. She has five kids AND great hair, so that alone makes her worth reading, in my opinion. And she's throwing out everything in her kitchen made from China. Check it out.

Cyber-friend Ness over at Happiness Is a Butterfly has discovered her inner artist and is also a part-time treasure recyler/ebayer. If you're into vintage, ecclectic, classic treasures, check out her ebay auctions or stick around her blog and read her introspections about life in general. She's almost always an interesting read.

Speaking of artists, want to watch a highschooler as she evolves into a photographer? Check out Steve's former student, O & A's former babysitter, Katie, who has been accepted to SCAD in the fall. She's coming along quite nicely. And I'll take the full credit for her success. Okay, not really, but I'd like to.

And then there's Clint, who I guess is sort of cool, when he's not stuck in 4 feet of mud. He and his daughter Cassie went on a mission trip to Peru last year and they're gearing up to go again this year. His experiences were/are life changing and it's interesting to see him work it all out in his mind and post about it in blogger land. They designed these really cool tshirts as a way to fund raise their trip to Peru, so you should DEFINITELY go buy one, or just make a donation to their trip if you don't want a shirt. They do good things over there. In PERU.
Donate. Now. All the cool kids are doing it.

She's BAaaaaack

At least I think, anyway.

My friend Amy has reentered blogger world....check her out...she's actually done THREE POSTS IN A ROW.

I subscribe to a lot of blogs.

A LOT of blogs.


Photography blogs, mom blogs, spiritual blogs, funny blogs, recipe blogs, LOTS LOTS LOTS of blogs.

I'm a little embarrassed by it. But I NEED them....for inspiration, for a laugh, for a human connect.

Hello, my name is Tammi and I'm a blog addict.
As of yesterday I subscribe to 95 blogs.
It has been 2.5 minutes since my last blog read.

Your turn.

Might be getting myself in trouble here....

I was just invited to read the most outstanding blog...

Sarah Beth's blog is open only to invited readers, but if you're interested in reading the blog of a thoughtful, poetic, wise young woman, whose thoughts and ideas are deeper than they seem, you might want to email her and ask if you can read too.
I first met her through Steve-0, sortof, when she started coming with her fiance to our top-secret book club. :) lol She's fairly quiet, mildly content to listen to the blatherings of everyone else in the room, but beneath the surface lurks a wise intelligence and when she opens her mouth to speak, you know she's got something good to say.

Sarah, hope you're not upset that I could possibly be sending a bunch of email and potential blog readers your way, but your words are too good NOT to share. And I'm glad I'll get to watch you grow and figure things out in words. What a gift you have.
