doggie in art car, Canon Digital Rebel
See that wonderful blurry foreground on this photo? That’s the magic of my lovely new lens… I love you new lens! For the camera geeks out there, I originally purchased an 85mm {known as a portrait lens} but quickly realized that on my digital SLR the lens became a 135mm or something like it. To take a portrait I had to practically stand in a separate room than the person I was photographing! Not too practical or intimate. I instead bought a 50mm f/1.4 lens which translates to an 80mm and I am madly in love.
Another fantastic photographer who loves his 50mm f/1.4 is Eric Wahlstrom. Boy, is he good. He takes very beautiful, fashion-y photos of his friends that make me crazy. I want to eat these photos, and his friends. Check them out. You know what’s even cooler about him? He’s from Sweden. I didn’t even know how to decorate his name from my keyboard with all the umlats and wingdingies.
And take a little trip around the world on this site, Way to Blue.
Oh, and by the way, it’s the big 33 today and I was so happy to have all of your wishes. You guys fill me up and make my days so much brighter. Thank you…
Happy Birthday! Use your new lens in the best of health!!!

Hap-hap-happy Birthday Scorpio sister!
My birthday is on Friday ~ it is the season of celebrations.
Andrea,
wishing you the most beautiful, magical, serendipitous special day and year.
33 is such a precious, immense age (not that I have yet to reach it, I turn 22, but I’m a big fan of the number 3 and a big fan of same number b’days).
Your webpage, journal, necklaces, photography and T-shirts burst with exuberance and joy.
I’m looking forward to seeing your art too hun ~ I know it’s there ~ have seen it in SARK’s books 😉
Much love and laughter to you and your new lens,
Leonie
Happy Birthday, Dear One.
Happy Birthday! May it be a wonderful day, year and many more birthdays with goodness.
yes, happy happy day. here’s to a happy, healthy and prosperous year.
much love, lena
Happy Birthday Andrea from Down Under!
One of the best birthday parties I ever went to was for a friend’s 33 1/3rd birthday (4 months after her actual birthday). She called the party ‘Analog’ and everyone had to bring along vinyl records, cassettes, 8 tracks – anything non-digital! It was great, by default it ended up being a 70’s & 80’s fest.
Happy Birthday Andrea! You are truly a gift to this world. I heard this quote today and it has stayed with me all day… I though you would appreciate it as it is the essence of what you continually remind me of through your words and your art…and so my gift to you:
“The heart of joy is creation”
– Laurie Chikering
best wishes and blessings,
Jill
Happy, Happy, Joyous Birthday to you! May all the blessings life has to offer, come to you in abundance. p.s. Love the effect with you new lens!
Have a happy, lucky birthday! Great sites by the way, the Swedish guy is amazing.
33 is a magical number — but I am biased. Or hopeless? Happy Birthday, and many more to come!
Happy Birthday! I really enjoy your blog. x

your birthday is november 9th too? happy birthday to you! hope you found a special way to celebrate the wonderful woman that you are. I just returned from a trip to Walt Disney World – where if it’s your birthday you get to wear a pin that says “it’s my birthday” and every cast member says HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful birthday Andrea! Can’t wait to see more pics you’ll take with your new lens.
I checked out 40h.net – and you are right: the pictures make you want to just eat them up yum! so vibrant and luminous and alive . . . thanks for the url . . . and happy birthday! 🙂
Oh how exciting! Happy Birthday wishes to you! 33 is a super great age. You will rock out harder than ever this year Andrea!
Happy Birthday!
Happy belated birthday hun! You rocked out. Poor Tweety! 🙂
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ANDREA!

(got my shirt last week. loved my shirt since before last week)
thanks for your positive energy!
Happy Birthday, Andrea!
I’ve never posted a comment here before and I’ve never ordered any of your stuff (sorry, no consumer am I). But I do read your blog often and just want to wish you a happy birth-day everyday. Your work on this site helps so much. It’s like reading a favorite book on a quiet Sunday and you know the author is your friend even though you know you’ll never meet. Reading/viewing your stuff is like that. Stay true, stay honest, keep being alive. I do love you even though we are technically strangers to each other. What a great world, eh?
(It’s actually Sat, Nov 13 so I guess this is a belated Happy B from NYC.)
I wish I could eat your photos. You’re amazing!
