Karmann Ghia—The Little Car

Chelsey Scheffe February 28, 2018

Made a quick little video of our meet up with the attendees of Sunday morning Lake Washington Cars and Coffee. We bought this little car in January and drove it up from LA. Being a California car for life, some things had never been tested but thankfully the engine was in top shape. Seeing as it rained all three days of our drive up through California, we gave the windshield wipers a hard workout, found out the heater cables were disconnected, and discovered some seals were missing as evidenced by the pools of water collecting under our seats. But we survived, miraculously frostbite free.

2017 in 365 seconds

It is crazy how you forget the magic a year held. Looking back, I see such an abundance of incredible moments that, at the time, didn’t feel as special as they look now. I’d like to work on observing and being thankful for what’s happening right in front of me but even if that isn’t entirely possible, an exercise such as this brings so much joy! Maybe I’ll do it again sometime but this year, I’m going to try to just live it.

Moments No.2 — ‘15 to ‘17

Two years ago, I shared a series of photos chronicling significant moments, whether grand or small. I left it vague without explaining events and will continue to. I think it’s valuable to leave room for the viewer to imagine or interpret their own story. So here is a second collection of significant moments taken from 2015 to 2017.

Yes, it’s quaint and beautiful and we should all move there. I was delighted to witness what I’d heard so many people talk about—that everyone rides a bike. Some carry 1–3 others with them. I carried my sister on a bicycle a couple of times and had a terrible time getting started so I was incredibly impressed by some mothers and fathers carrying their little ones with seemingly no effort whatsoever.

Faire un Noeud

My friend, Chris Clappe has been making cools things lately. He began with plant hangers and macrame wall hangings but has since ventured into other objects like plants stands, unconventional vases, paper weights, coasters and other such house decor items. This was an experimental piece that we turned into a necklace for fun. I shot these photos of Tyler Johnson on 35mm film.
