There are No Kangaroos in Austria!
I need a holiday from my holiday. So tonight is just “chill time”.
We are currently in Salzburg, Austria. Oh, how I adore Salzburg. Austria’s 4th largest city, and yet it is a short walk to get anywhere. *swoon* I love being able to walk in cities. I love cities [...]
Germany Update!
This is a speeeeeeedy update – it cost 2 Euros (about $3) for 15 minutes of internet time. Just long enough to write a FAST post, post photos, and run!
Koln (Cologne), Germany:
Bacharach, Germany (Rhine river valley), where we are staying for 2 nights in the castle overlooking the town:
Burg Eltz (near Mosel river valley):

Guten Tag!
We left Amsterdam yesterday, after being caught in a huge downpour of rain, and headed to the border of The Holland to Sittard on the train. Karen came to the station to pick us up, and we stayed with her & Jason last night at their house in Havert. Such a nice, small [...]
Greetings from Amsterdam!
Jason & I arrived yesterday morning at about 8am (local time) in Amsterdam. After finding the hotel & getting a short nap, we went out and walked around the city. So fabulous to see so many people walking, and so many bikes. I always knew that there were a lot of bikes [...]
If I Knew, Why Would I Ask?
It amuses me every time I go to look up a Zip Code and I notice that their form has a blank for …
The Zip Code!
Uhm, if I knew that, why would I be using the form? I mean, come on. It really doesn’t make any sense!
BarStool Magazine…
In Houston? Pick up a copy of the July issue of BarStool magazine and you’ll see my photographs in it! I photographed the bartender for the Bartender of the Month feature, and then did a separate shoot at Leon’s Lounge on McGowen in Midtown. It was such an incredible rush to see [...]
At Last!
We have a tentative itinerary! We have a car rental! We have hotel rooms! We are going to Europe! We are leaving on Friday!
Eep. That last part sent a wave of panic through me. So if it is quiet here, you know why – I’m busy packing and getting [...]

Guess What?!?
I’ve finally seen SUNSHINE today! This is HUGE considering all the rain we’ve had. We’ve already had 3.85 inches for July, and our average for July is 4 inches. Yeah, we were all starting to be a bit waterlogged. However, with the sun coming out, the heat has returned. It [...]
Yale Street Market Time!
It is that time again! Yale Street Market is this Saturday! I’ll be there, and Elaine might be there (she had a conflict this month, so she’s working that out), and there will be lots of great prints for sale! The market is from 6pm – 10pm (Summer Hours!) and it is [...]
The Bee…
“Aerodynamically the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn’t know it, so it goes on flying anyway.”
– Mary Kay Ash
I’ve been a busy little bee around here, working on the … *drumroll please* …
New! Wedding photography website! Whee!

Hi! I'm Christine. I've been blogging here since 2000. I am married to Mike. I have a son, Jason. We have a cat, Mona. We live in Houston, Texas.
I love helping other photographers and other small business owners improve their businesses. Most of my posts here are related to that, although sometimes I write about personal things as well.
I am currently available for business & blogging consulting and assisting you with WordPress. Contact me for more details.
I am a wedding and boudoir photographer and I'm available both in Houston and for travel worldwide. I would love to be a part of your wedding!
You can buy prints of my photography.
In addition to photography and geek things, I sometimes knit. I even used to have a knitting podcast, PointySticks.
