Folded Dreams

Have I mentioned that I have an Etsy page? Well look out world for Jennifer’ Mondo Village of Greatness! One of my favorite products is the custom origami. Take a look at the latest order I put together for a wedding. Pretty fun, huh? These little geometric goodies would be great for Christmas decorating or…

The Vancouver Adventure Continues

Maybe you got to see my post from earlier this week, Discovering Vancouver. Those shots were taken with my Canon 5d. One thing I’ve found in my travels is that when you walk around a new city with a giant camera around your neck–the city presents itself to you differently. When I just walk around with…

Discovering Vancouver

It finally happened. I made it to Canada, Vancouver to be exact. It was beautiful and so much bigger than I expected. In fact, it reminded me of Seattle with the architecture, well designed little shops, nearness to nature, and unfortunately the prevalence of homeless people. Even after five days of exploring, I saw so little of this…

Follow Your Folly

I recently got back from a trip across the beautiful state of Colorado. I started in Kim, moved along to San Jose, on to Loveland, then to Denver, and Fort Collins. Little did I know that Fort Collins is the mecca for craft beer drinkers. It’s home to tons of microbreweries and brewpubs, New Belgium…

Who said you couldn’t hike in a pair of Sweet Classic Highs?

Hiking without knowing where the heck you’re going is my one of my favorite things to do (ill-advised though it may be). On my last trip to Colorado, the game plan was to drive toward some tall mountains and see what happened. We ended up in Idaho Springs, a quaint old mining town, then winded our way…

(Keep your eyes open for similarities I photographed between some of the structures and my mesh sneakers.) Dancers is a steel and fiberglass statue…

the gateway to crazy

The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is the world’s tallest arch. Isn’t that nuts?! They built this sucker in the mid 60s and plopped it right on the edge of the Mississipi River. Back then it cost $13 million to construct. That’s equivalent to $180 million these days. When I finally saw the arch in…

all things curated

Last Tuesday, I turned 28. What better way to celebrate than to surround yourself in art–and what better place to do that than The MCA in Chicago? And what better to wear than a killer T-Shirt? Take a look at this Shape Shifter Tee by Curated Cotton. It’s incredibly soft and comfy and created by a couple of kick…

windy city sailing

You know how using a 35mm camera is a beautiful almost-lost art form these days? After sailing around Lake Michigan last Friday, it made me think that sailing is the 35mm of boat rides. Sailing, in its most primitive form, has been around since around 5000 BCE. It provided a wealth of food and closed large…
