I don’t think I could have said it better than in the bigger letters above that first image. Many of our ground staff are pilots, and after a year or two on the ramp, they have their flight training and their first step into commercial aviation piloting is taken. Not me. People ask what the hell I’m doing on the ramp, and I tell them each the same thing… For the fun of it. Because I like it. Because I have access to photoshoots that are truly unique. Because I can fly to Norway for under $300. Because the people are awesome. Because I don’t need it, but because I want it. Because in the summer, sunset after sunset on the ocean never gets old.

I HATE commitments, to-do lists, time frames, must-dos. They don’t fit my life. There’s nothing worse than having to do something you are the furthest thing from inspired to do. And I did actually try to flip this and find the equal & opposite positive/wanted, but the words didn’t flow as well ;) For nights of inspiration and just all around perfection, there is that equal and opposite. The wanting to keep finding more, to laugh harder, to smile until you’re hunched over because your cheeks hurt so much, and that’s just what we did. It’s nights like with Sarah, such a beautiful, fun, hockey loving, life appreciating, joy seeking kindergarten teacher that make me thankful for staying away from commitments and time frames.

When life feels good, keep creating. The better it gets, the better it gets. Spontaneous decision making about location included ;) Since Sarah & I both admitted to otherwise staying home, probably in front of our computers, Saturday night spent working? WIN!

DON’T tell me how gorgeous her teeth are. And stop looking at mine in comparison. STOP IT! And yes, I had braces back innnnnnnn… grade 7?
Yeah. Sorry about those thousands of dollars, mum & dad. Love you. Ha!

Get ready.

Saturday the 14th – inspiration peaks in creativity at Granville Island with Sarah for our shoot.
Sunday through Wednesday – 40 something images edited for my blog, uploaded & ready to go.
Friday the 20th – my iphone4 from apple arrives.
End of my week through now – productivity FAIL.

So this ISN’T where I ask what your favourite, must have apps are, because I’m not about to hijack (it’s okei, I’m not at work – I can say that word out loud) Sarah’s blog post.
So folks, drop down below, scroll through some of my favourite images to date, tell Sarah how VIBRANTLY beautiful and radiant she is …how can you not adore her eyes closed, nose crinkles genuine laugh?! …and tell me your favourite apps. Via the email button on the menu of course, and not in the comments so we aren’t hijacking this post. (Read this blog post out loud at an airport. I dare you. Ha!

28 more of my favourite images in part two coming right up. And by right up, I mean when I stop playing Angry Birds.
