this is as good as it gets. you are as gifted and astute as any artist. the stories you paint are epic and touching and full of details that matter, scenes that you never want to forget, every different kind of spotlight. i could never gush enough. outstanding work. xoxo

You need to know, I am on this blog every day. LOVE it. You are probably one of the coolest people out there and your friends and family are lucky to know you!! You also have the coolest tent in the UNIVERSE.
Be blessed.

I absolutely adored looking at these photos. You captured such fresh perspectives. You are really inspiring! In a few photos, you have almost a tilt-shift or fish eye look...did you do that in post processing or do you have a fish eye?

Amazing Andrea... you are the master story teller with your photos. Perfect moments, framing, colors, expressions. Just beautiful. And you should definately submit the two with your truck and tent and campfire to Toyota for their next advert! Always inspiring... :)
