CURRENT MISSION

Live it up in Uptown Oakland

ABOUT ME

We've been in the SF bay for just a year now and are enjoying living in the East Bay. Johnathan works in online education and I'm a photographer. Our dog Paddington loves long walks and the off leash dog park. We're creative people, love cooking (and mostly eating), good beer, and American TV (The Soup is our guilty pleasure).

Music, Movies, and Books

Most British comedy movies, anything with Jason Segel.
White Stripes (my darkroom mix), whatever I come across on itunes - mostly mellow, but something that inspires me.
Shantaram (must read for anyone in India), Just Kids by Patti Smith - amazing book for creative people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An amazing boat ride down the Nile in Uganda - on the way to Murchison Falls, crocodiles sunning themselves, hippos eerily watching us pass, and wild elephants itching their bums on the grass ;)
