    found on the beach

    by Kaylah Stroup October 28, 2014

    Another rainbow edition of my found on the beach series. After I put this one together I realized maybe this wouldn’t be the best way to do them from now on since it looks so similar to the last one. Although, I do like this one much better without the white, black and grey section on the end. With the rainbow layout you’re looking more at the colors than the objects, at least I am anyway. It’s obviously way more visually appealing spread out like this, I’m just worried they’ll all start to look the same. Yeah, I’m definitely over thinking trash right now.

    Anyway, I’m really excited about this set. I think there are so many neat little gems in there. My favorite thing to find will always be little people and animals.

    Quick FAQ – things that get asked every Found on the Beach post.
    Do you keep the things you pick up? No way. Once in a while I’ll keep something I really think is neat but I’m no hoarder.
    What do you do with it when you’re done? I toss it in the trash where it belongs.
    Was this really all from the beach in one day? For the
    most part, yes. Sometimes if I find something I really think is neat on a
    day I’m not collecting for a photo I’ll pick it up and hang on to it
    until the next time I want to put together one of these.
    Do you wear gloves? No, I don’t. These are things that
    were washed up on the shore, not things simply left behind. They’re no
    dirtier than the sand or water.

    Prints available here.

  • On the road – Kentucky to North Carolina

    by Kaylah Stroup October 27, 2014

    The weekend before last Jeff and I took a little road trip, definitely not as epic as our last one, but still a nice escape from daily life. I was invited to a blog conference down in North Carolina, and while that was fun enough for me, Jeff suggested we leave a day earlier and …

    by Kaylah Stroup October 23, 2014

    A little while back, on my six month in Cleveland anniversary, I visited a new to me abandoned building. I’ve been holding on to these photos while I tried my hardest to research more about the building. I’m finally throwing in the towel. I can’t seem to find much at all. This is an abandoned …
