R is for Road Trip

Suitcase in hand
In yet another new city.
She places it on the ground,
Across from a metal container
Steps on top of it.
And starts to sing.

This is how she keeps going.
Travel she must.

Photos by Chris: Vintage Signs

Pfeiffer Photos is a team effort.  I manage the daily ins-and-outs of our little photo biz, write the blog, all that good stuff, but without the images we wouldn't be Pfeiffer Photos.

Mar-Don Motel 

I often think of Chris as my semi-silent business partner.  I admit it, I have a tendency to highlight much of my own work from the cameras (we have four now!), but some of our best-sellers in the shop have come from the viewfinder of my husband.  We have very different techniques and shoot in different styles, and I have to say, I am often surprised and really admire his unique point-of-view.

Capital Hill Motel

This post is my first, but not my last, dedicated 100% to his art.  These photos are fresh from his memory chip--captured this week.  Feel free to leave comments because he does follow my blog and he will read them all! :-)

Happy Weekend, All!

The Beach

We went west to the beach for a day trip on Sunday and visited Seaside! The weather was just right and not as windy as usual for that part of the coast. We played on the swings, walked by the ocean, strolled down the promenade and stopped for an early dinner at The Happy Clam chowder bar. Also snapped some very nice photos of the surf and some vintage motel and business signage around town. Toward the end of the day we discovered a part of Seaside we'd never explored before--the south end. There's a wonderful park with driftwood and great view of the surf. We were also fortunate to see a wild bald eagle nesting in a huge shore pine and, wow, what a majestic bird and a great find to make our day complete. I posted the best photos of our day in our Flickr gallery and some are up in the Etsy shop, of course, so enjoy!
