Not a real blog post, but I wanted to share how much I love working with the office cameras – this was taken with a Samsung NV7 OPS, which I’m going to marry and have little cyborg babies with.

Seriously, how delicious do those samosas look!? They’re from Sweet Plantains in Coral Bay (incidentally, also the home of Laura’s header-image lanterns). Also, they are delicious.

On a related note, this is the photo page for Red Sunset Photography – a bunch of the villa and boat shoots that Ella and I have done are up there, if you want to check them out. (I didn’t take any of those pictures, I was just the photo assistant for most of them – I staged stuff (all the food, flowers, etc.), moved things, swapped lenses, made sure the photographer ate, etc.).

Back to work! Just wanted to share some of it with you lot!

Not for the first time, I thought I’d share a tidbit featured over on First Person Irregular. Made me smile!

Thanks JohnO!

p.s. Life here’s good. Working on wrapping up the December issue, and getting super-excited for my first on-island Christmas – I ordered my tree the other day!!! : )

Hello intertubes!!

I am back from my birthday mini-break, and have brought back (admittedly paltry) photographic evidence. It was a great trip, and I definitely look forward to going back to Tortola again for some more exploring. The coolest part was that all of an hour elapsed between getting on the ferry in St. John and parking my rental car at the seaside hotel. Awesome! : )

Anyway, here’s the pictures:

Tortola Mini-Break

And for next time, the things I intend to document include:
- The super-beautiful north shore road – you’re liable to get splashed by the steadily crashing surf as you drive along, all unsuspecting.
- Smuggler’s Cove – my beach of choice for this trip. Great sand and shade. Perfect water. A ramshackle, but full-service beach bar. Ideal.
- The Tamarind Club’s nifty swim-up bar. (They serve a mean fish & chips.)
- The view out across Beef Island to Virgin Gorda from the Ridge Road. Holy cow.
- The inventive and elegant Dove restaurant in Road Town. Also, their food.

But for now, I hope you enjoy the panorama shots!

Cheers,
Kelly

Fact One: I miss autumn.
Fact Two: I want to make this so hardcore.

Fact Three: I am really looking forward to my birthday – I will be getting off this rock and visiting another rock for a couple of days. I will not be able to use my cell, nor have internet with which to obsessively check my email. I will sleep in. I will get tan. I will drink refreshing rum drinks and do nothing that even resembles work. I realize a lot of you think that this is all I ever do, but you are mistaken, and I am REALLY looking forward to acting the tourist for a couple of days. Like a lot. *contented, anticipatory sigh*

Fact Four: I’m going back to work now. Have a nice night, y’all.

So I might have to rethink this whole Italy thing…apparently, it’s country full of CRAZY people! Or at least, it was back in the ’70s when this was made:

I’m literally speechless…
