Photogirls 2009

This week I'm in Oregon for the 2nd installment of the Photogirls Retreat. I'm having SO much fun reconnecting with old friends and meeting a few new who weren't able to make it last year.

We're staying at an AMAZING beach house in Manzanita:

Yesterday we took a walk into town and I took a few shots to show off the quaintness of Manzanita. I call this collage my "Manzanita Blue":

The bulldog that we met in that bottom right shot is named Tank. I caught a fun shot of him getting intimately acquainted with Tania:

And a few more shots from our time on the beach:

More to come! Right now I need to go do the important work of eating freshly baked chocolate chip cookies :).
