My Parents Were Awesome November 25, 2009

My parents were awesome features all that was awesome about parents in their heydey.  Short boy shorts and shocking amounts of 70s body hair aside, there’s something sweet about the content.

Maybe I’m drawn to this blog because I never heard my parents talk about being happy.  They married just before my maternal grandmother died of cancer, and my dad’s world came crashing down a year or so later when the Air Force, his dream career, rejected him for health reasons.  If there were happy newlywed stories, I never heard them.

I can only guess what life has been like for any of the featured couples, but the spirit in which kids submit photos of their parents is certainly life affirming.

During my first week back in the busy-ness of work, I snuck out to walk along the bay trail, sit in the sun, and absorb nature as I slowed my thoughts down to a manageable level, so I know exactly the feeling captured in this post.  I’m also intrigued by the author’s completely sold-out e-course, “Unravelling, Ways of Seeing Myself.”  Enough so that I might embark on my own version of the course…Hm.

This photo from Elena Kalis’ series Alice in Waterland really captures the crazy topsy turvy feeling of a mirror world.  Click on the image for an interview with the photographer and additional images.

I’ve been pleased with my choice to follow Dustin Diaz’s 365 project.  He’s not only a great photographer, he’s super geeky, funny, and is one half of an incredibly cute couple.  He also includes all the strobist information for his shots, which photography geeks just lap up, but by doing it pictorially or by video, he makes it interesting for the rest of us as well.

When I saw the video for the picture above, I had to share.

For a demure, romantic series of bike pictures, check out this link to the recent Bliss post on sfgirlbybay. As opposed to my normal bike porn posts, this is less about the bikes and more about the feelings they evoke, wouldn’t you say?
