I love Top Ten lists and "Best ever!" comments. I also love when my dearest friends call me up and say "I have a blog idea for you!"

So here is my current Top Ten list: my favorite pictures.


#10: Picture it: you're at a park. A family park. With families. You're playing an innocuous game of Koob... throwing blocks and batons, laughing with your friends, basking in the sunshine. All of a sudden, one of your friends starts chuckling and says, "Hey... that spells 'Tit.'" The games disintegrate as everyone clamors for their cameras and takes a whopping five minutes to frame the best shot like they've found some sort of exotic frog or something. This picture represents the funny little things in life that happen quite by accident... and the glorious sun-filled day I spent with some amazing people once upon a time.



#9: This was lovely, and I believe the origin of the Fucking Fab Femme Five (although I don't think Renee was present). We spent the evening bitching about a certain shitty roommate, had Caribou, Perkins, and a lovely time. The colors in this picture turned out wonderfully.


#8: The pumpkin. This shit had some intense staying power. It stuck around until well after the spring thaw. And Colby is one of the suavest motherfuckers I've ever met.


#7: Look at Kecia's beautiful face. Joy. Sheer joy, caught in a candid moment.


#6: (Photo credit: Samantha Scott) I don't think I have ever seen anything like this. Ever. What a fucking fantastic photograph. James Brown.


#5: Dan Sarles and I met one morning at the Amazing Grace cafe for breakfast to discuss some business. What ended up happening was the most glorious breakfast experience I have ever had. "Even the water is amazing!" he cried. He took a moment out to describe how fantastic it was, and I snapped this picture. The sun came in through the window behind him, bathing the cafe in a grand light. Glory.


#4: Not only was this picture taken on one of the most fun days ever, it was the first picture that I really took the time to play with colors and lighting and composure in Photoshop, sending me down the path that I have ended up on now. And come on, how can you not love Samantha Scott's sass?


#3: Eric Buegler is fantastic. I laugh every time I see this photo.


#2: (Photo credit: Amanda Davey) So there was this one time that Samantha Scott and I got 86ed from Pizza Luce. This picture was taken mere moments beforehand.


#1: (Photo credit: Samantha Scott) I was not even present when this photo was taken. I'm laughing so hard at it right now that I don't even know what to say. Thank you, Ann Perkins, for making this face, and thank you, Samantha Scott, for capturing it for future generations to know exactly what it looks like when you take a shot of tequila.
