this year’s birthday wish

it’s the beginning of a new year and quite a long time until my birthday in august, but this is the *biggest* thing i’ve ever had on my birthday wishlist.

i really really really wanted to go to the first squam… so many people i love and admire were there and came back with amazing stories and photos to share of their experiences. but it’s so far far from here that i couldn’t. we spent a fortune last year travelling to shiny places and needed to regroup and make some more money!

now i discover, that this year, there will be two more! and i am wishing and dreaming and planning and surfing the cheap airfare websites to see if our travel and adventures budget can stretch far enough to go to the september squam in new hampshire. it’s a crazy birthday wish and i’m crazy enough to believe it might even come true!

i’ve been drooling over the workshops and the website all morning, trying to decide which classes to attend.

i would definitely be doing one of andrea’s through the viewfinder sessions (how could i not, when this post she wrote got me so excited about the whole ttv thing that i went and got myself a kodak six-20 f brownie camera to play with) and spent a whole month posting photos on my blog/flickr using a fake ttv filter.

then, there’s jen’s truth & consequences sessions, christopher frost’s temporary earthworks and just about every other class listed that all have me so excited that i’m almost literally jumping out of my skin to sign up!
