White

Poppytalk's Spring Colors Week closes out today with white—we can't wait until the next one! (This summer?) See photos from the whole week here and here.

P.S. We are hoping to have prints of our photos for sale in our shop soon!

Pink

We're enjoying the parade of colors at Poppytalk's Spring Colors Week and hope you are too! Today's color is pink. See more here and here.

Adventures in Film

Some of my favorites from the first roll of film with my new-to-me Pentax K1000. (I spent a lot of time last year playing with filters to try and get my digital shots to look like film, and decided I may as well try the real thing. Sooo glad I did!) Above, sunset on the Bay Bridge.

An abandoned sign in Port Costa.

Lovely yellows outside the Elmwood Cafe in Berkeley.

More of the Elmood Cafe.

A few of my favorite things. (At Tail of the Yak in Berkeley.)

Outside Wendy Addison's studio in Port Costa. (Her studio was closed but luckily Theatre of Dreams was open.)

A look back at 2010

Ah 2010, where did you go? Before we get too wrapped up in our schemes and dreams for 2011, we thought we'd take a look back at where we've been. (Photo above from our impromptu black & white New Year's Eve party, inspired by this.)

Inspired by Food Inc, in January one of our major resolutions was to pay more attention to where our food comes from and eat more at home. (We did pretty well with this one—this photo actually is of kale chips we made in the fall.)

We both also became more and more interested in photography in 2010, and as a result noticed a lot more of the lovely things all around us (like these prize ribbons at the Alameda Flea Market in February).

In March, we created a new altered portrait for Manifest Equality, and made a road trip to LA to see the show.

In April, we were honored to DJ the afterparty for a super-inspirational Pop-Up Magazine.

In May, Sandy participated in her first Bike To Work Day, and it quickly became a daily habit.

In June, we had some awesome summertime adventures both in and out of the city.

In July, we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary with a weekend trip to Santa Cruz.

In August, we paid a visit to the Scout Books booth at Renegade SF to gocco some notebooks.

In September, we celebrated a couple special birthdays: one in Tacoma and one at the always epic Palace of Fine Arts, here in San Francisco.

In October, our t-shirt for Little Paper Planes' artist series hit Target stores!

In November, Matthew's film 33 premiered at the Bicycle Film Festival in SF.

And last but not least, in December we gave our Etsy shop a little update.

We certainly feel lucky for everything we experienced last year, and are looking forward to new adventures in the year ahead!

Thirty-three at BFF

Matthew and our friend Xavier made a short film for this year's Bicycle Film Festival, which premiered this Sunday! I'm super-proud of them, and they were in great company with a lot of other inspiring films on their program. Big thanks to our friends who came out to the screening! If you weren't able to make it to the Victoria Theatre, you can now see 33 on Vimeo as well as below.

(Disclaimer! The film is not autobiographical, though we certainly can relate in many ways.)

A perfect occasion to wear my new bike dress.

The ride down 16th on our way to the theatre.

Matthew and Xavier give a brief introduction onstage, with Heels on Wheels director Anna Bisgaard-Nohr and BFF founder Brendt Barbur.
