This Yellow photo was taken by Walter Pieringer in the heart of my motherland - Alberta, with beautiful Canola fields to be found around every curve.
Many people have asked who took the new jumping photo I now use, Walter! Our friends were visiting us from Texas so we took them to Coney Island and I insisted on taking jumping photos on the boardwalk! I am amazed at what we all produced after only two shots! (the first shot caleb elbowed me in the face so um... it didn't turn out so well!)
Can I just say that Walter has had the most amazing life and he's only 26!! This is from one of his website:
My name is Walter Pieringer, and I like to shoot photos. My life has been a little strange – call it bad luck or bad decisions, or maybe a little of both, but I've had a lot of really bizarre stuff happen to me. I love the adventure, though, so I probably bring most of it it upon myself. . . . . here're a few highlights:
So far, I have:
* Been robbed at gunpoint while on crutches
* Flown to Moscow to be part of an international stunt man competition run by the Russian mafia
* Hitchhiked over 2000 miles from Washington State to Chicago, mostly with a 70-year-old racist Vietnam veteran semi truck driver named Gino and his pet wolf Nakita
* Chased a would-be-thief down a dark alley, tackled him, and retrieved my friend's backpack outside a sketchy bar in Durban, South Africa
* Been chased through the streets by wild dogs (twice)
* Shattered my left kidney
* Hung out with a ranking member of the West 18th Street gang, the largest and most violent street gang in Los Angeles. Apparently they have my back.
* Nearly gone to jail for stealing a $3000 "Wally Warhead" mascot costume, putting it on, and using it to gain illegal access to an international candy convention
* Eaten dog
* Been physically attacked by security guards for videotaping (three times)
* Spent over 500 hours of my life on a Greyhound bus
* Been jumped by a gang of 14-year-olds
* Been captured at the US/Canadian border trying to smuggle a friend into the US
Never been in a fight, but have been beat up by large groups of complete strangers for no apparent reason on three separate occasions
Aside from all that, I like to take pictures and shoot video, especially of my friends riding bikes.

i totally love yellow too, but i cant wear it, it makes me look dead. but i bought the cutest patent yellow purse at target a while back and i get compliments on it everywhere i go! i love that lovebirds necklace and i try to sneak yellow stuff into my house since it looks so ugly on me. i also love orange. but same thing. hate it on my skin!
Ive been wearing mustard yellow lately, not bright yellow... actually I have a fluorescent yellow shirt so what am I even talking about!! I love orange too! My whole couch is orange, thats a big step! Im going thru a HUGE purple phase so I think instead of wearing it (it reminds me of being in 6th grade and going thru the same phase!) I might take your advice and sneak it in my house!
