Mike’s good friend Evan Grady has his photography on display at O’Neills in Nob Hill. I wish I had a picture of his work to display on here, but seeing a picture of it wouldn’t do it justice anyway. He photographs something up close and then arranges the photos to create a larger picture. It’s really amazing!
So, if you’re up for a drink or close by, drop in and see his work on the east wall. The display will be up until February 28th.
I really like the idea of supporting my local community and friends and family who are working hard to create or give a service to those around them. But, sometimes it’s hard to know who has the right spirit and drive behind them and who is worth supporting. So, I have to give a little shout out to a couple of the people and places here in Albuquerque that are well worth supporting!
First, is to the Corrales Grower’s Market. This summer, Mike and I got the best peaches and fresh veggies from the local growers in Corrales. Everyone is so friendly and happy to support the local community, you can just feel the positive spirit in the air. The times they meet and locations are on their website. If you’re going, send me a message, I’ll say hi while you’re there!
Second, is to my friend Steffanie Stewart. She is providing a ton of photography sessions for a very reasonable cost and getting her feet on the ground in family, children, and “just because” photography. She’s planning to work with me on a couple wedding shoots as well and will be a wonderful 2nd shooter! I’m happy to introduce you to Steffanie and her work at www.sweetsomethingsphotography.com.
Third, is to Desert Greens Golf Course, where Mike and I got married. Desiree is their wedding and event coordinator and she is practically the best thing in town, for sure the best on the west side. Consider them for your wedding or next event. They’re located at 10035 Country Club Lane NW- 87114.
Forth, Flying Star. I think almost everyone in Albuquerque has at least eaten there once. Flying star is a family owned, community driven restaurant with many organic and vegetarian choices. They have awesome desserts and a wonderful atmosphere. Plus, all of it is made from scratch! www.flyingstarcafe.com
If you know of any other companies or people worth supporting, please comment and add them to our list. I could add many more people and places, but it’s much more personal coming from you!
