Me Ladies

I finally figured it out! Here are a couple shots from the beginning of our crazy ride together in Missoula. When these ladies run through my head I 1. *sigh* with relief that they are not waiting in my house with some crazy idea for the next project and 2. *smile* because I was lucky to find these two amazing souls to share one crazy summer with!.. cheers!

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil

It has been nearly one week since the Sweet Peppers in Mae blog was created. In that time we have had a 66.6% contribution rate between the 3 members. With this odd sequence of numbers, one with a superstitious nature may say this blog is cursed! But we say... See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil!!
Pure goodness and full hearted commitment here:) So with that, we have agreed on our first official trio collaboration. We will each be doing a time-lapse! DA dA dA dun... of...
well...
really...
anything!!!
This is very exciting for me as I have never officially been the producer of one, only a character. Our deadline is Monday, which means Sweet will be ready Sat morning, while Mae and Pepper will be uploading at 11:58pm Monday night!
Also the remaining 33.3% of the team will be completing the 1st post before this time-lapse is due. Making this a PURE 100% DEAL!!!!!!!!!
Here is a link to our first dabbling into the time-lapse world a few weeks back.....

*picture taken: possibly week 3 into SI, an assignment for Tonys class about breaking the rules. *Interesting note: 1st night the trio ever hung out together!

Memories by Mae

It's 9:45 Sunday night....one week after this assignment was due and less than a few hours before the next post is due. I'm working my way from the beginning and finally putting some words to these pics. (Keep in mind I'm a teacher at 7:30 tomorrow morning and have yet to do my full lesson plan for tomorrow. I'm just embracing the procrastination.)
Oddly, I've been thinking about this first photo a lot recently. It was the first photo I took of Pepper & Sweety together and probably my shortest photoshoot of the summer. Five shots in a few minutes with props provided by the Sweet kitchen table. This fast little assignment on memories ended up making a very lasting memory for me though. (Ironically, it was also taken just several hours before it was due....or is that ironic.) Anyway, this photo was basically directed by the models and proved what amazing friends they are!
THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE HOUSE! I'm so glad I don't have to walk past this (sorry Cass.) From dance parties and burnt cookies to dark photoshoots and painting sessions, this placed housed a lot of great times. (get it? housed. haha) I miss everything about it, but I still have the key so if I return to Missoula, maybe I can just take a little visit!

The summer that was...

Here I sit, my first Saturday separated from the Sweet Pepper Mae team. A bit lonely and sad, wishing I could hit rewind on the summer that was. 11 short weeks filled with laughter, creation, procrastination, growth and LOVE. Every which way I look memories explode, an alley, expression, even a waitress makes my mind float to the times of the 3 musketeers.
There's really only one way to go from here, and that's to keep this unlikely trio alive and creating.... smiling, growing, and loving. Here's to the beginning of a blog that will keep us being us!!
I've posted 2 images that really mark the beginning of 2 friendships I hold very dear to my heart. If these shoots would not have happened who knows what would have been.
