New website and blog

I finally finished my new website and blog! This is the reason for the long absence from this blog. I will be updating the new blog regularly. Check it out and the new website at www.lucycall.com
Thank you to everyone who reads this blog! I appreciate your support.

Antique Store

For work, I mostly photograph homes, condos and resorts which is great, but I always welcome that rare shoot that varies from the usual places (although I once photographed a horse surgical center and I think that just freaked me out on so many levels; I won't expand upon that).

But today I photographed an antique store. I was in heaven. The owner even had her pet pug there. Antiques and pugs...I was a happy woman. I ended up leaving with a stack of things that I bought once I finished the shoot, which kind of defeated the purpose of working, but it was worth it.

Sage from my parents garden in December. . . global warming has its perks.

butternut squash and caramelized onion galette...again, its really good
