Sopheava de Lumiere

I'm a designer -slash- photographer living in Minneapolis, MN.

Many of these photos are from my adventures in and around the Twin Cities.

I like to make things pretty.

Stuff I like from around the web

"Hey, does anyone know how I can make Papyrus my default font?" I promise for this to be the last time I link to one of these. It's perfect.

The 10th President of the United States, John Tyler (who was born in 1790), has living grandsons! And one is just the most delightful thing you've ever met. On television: "I can't stand watching television." On the 2012 presidential candidates: "I don't really like any of them."

All out of long matches? Why not use...spaghetti!?!

A crustless pie. I need this in my belly RIGHT NOW.

Predictions of what 2011 might be like from a newspaper in 1911. "Aerial war-ships? Check. Grand opera telephoned to private homes? Yep. Mosquitoes, house-flies, and roaches "practically exterminated?" Who dropped the ball on that one?!"

Keep calm... HOORAY!

That there is a tattoo. Confessions: I think beautiful sleeve tattoos are a beautiful thing. I secretly want one but there's no way I could settle on a design!

Hi-def earth.

'The Art of Eating' cookbook. Because what I clearly need is more books about food in my life.

Ferris Bueller is back... chick, chicka chicka!

Adorable Super Bowl snack. D'awww.

'These last two are gonna be real turds,' George R.R. Martin assures fans.

Bridge.

Our own debt crisis.

A third 'Hangover' movie is imminent. Ugh, just STOP!

Pat Sayjak: "I was drunk on Wheel of Fortune so many times." LAWL!! "e had a place called Los Arcos.... They had great margaritas, so Vanna and I would go across and have two or three or six. And then come and do the last shows, and have trouble recognizing the alphabet."

51 love stories. A lovely, lovely print.

The face behind the honey badger video. Click at your own risk. Apparently he really DOES talk like that.

More details emerge in the case of Amy Senser's hit and run. "... Senser believed she had struck a piece of construction equipment." I hope to fuck the right thing happens in this case.

All things Oscars 2012. Been in such a workin' haze today it feels, like, so 8 hours ago.

"10 million people contacted Congress, Wales said. "That's not an abuse of power, that's democracy. [Dodd] had best get used to it." Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales responding to MPAA chairman Christopher Dodd's claim that SOPA blackout was "an abuse of power."

RECIPE: artichoke tart with polenta crust. I am such an artichoke slut. This looks amazing.

Kelly Wearstler's home would eat yours for lunch. Tres lovely... except is anyone creeped out by the man-in-the-moon face headboard thing? CREEPY!

The secret to peeling hard-boiled egg is... I won't believe it until I can try it.

Original art for hungry walls. Eventho I already own that hotdish print by Turman, I want lots of other things on this list.

Skyrim with My Little Pony mod. DEATH PONY!

Beavis and Butthead IRL. Jesus, make it stop!

Phantom winter

2012.01.15

We might one day get snow.

A fresh start

2012.01.14

You don't think I forgot about all of you, did ya? I enjoyed the end of my 2011 (a lot; too much?) and beginning of 2012 (a lot; definitely not too much!). It was time to brighten up the site and find some new inspiration, so tonight I (mostly) launched a spiffy new design. It's almost midnight where I am though, so if you see a few bugs please wait a couple days to let me know kay?

So um, part of my pretty new design is the desire to start posting a little more regularly again. I talked a bit about one last teamphotoblog challenge on twitter and you guys sounded ~~interested~~ STOKED! So I'll think of something in the next few days and let you know!

Happy 2012 everyone!
