Week 7: Wyoming
My name is: Melanie Araas
Right now I’m sitting at: Where else? My computer!
My family includes: My husband and my little boy Ethan who is 20 months old.
What inspires me: My husband for too many reasons to name, my mom & dad for their neverending selflessness & giving, my sister for being the best mom, good books, loyal friends & every day - my son.
The photographer who most inspires me would be: There are so wonderful artists that i follow through blogs and websites to be inspired. Not to copy, but it just takes my work to the next level, trying new things and techniques and they give me a boost when I’m feeling in a rut. I hope someday to inspire someone with my work too!
When hanging out online you will usually find me at: Ebay…I have found so many great deals on there from photography equipment to baby clothes! And of course the C2K Neighborhood forum!
The first thing I crave in the morning is: Diet pop or more sleep.
What book are you reading right now: I am always in the middle of a few. Currently…”A New Earth” - Eckhart Tolle, “Eat, Pray, Love” - Elizabeth Gilbert & “The Audacity of Hope” - Barack Obama. Someday I’ll finish them all!
To me “beautiful” is: My family, love and nature.
This year’s purchases MUST include: Right now I only use a laptop and am finding a need for more RAM, so a FAST desktop computer with dual monitors - i feel a need for speed!
My guilty pleasure is: Wine, shopping and sometimes naps.
If I had $500 to spend on myself today, I would buy: A day at a spa!
I think my best feature is: Hard one…probably my blue eyes and even more now that they match my son’s!
I am addicted to: Diet pop, LOST! and the internet.
One personal goal I have this year would be: A personal goal would be to find time to finally scrapbook the past two years of photographs of my family and to start doing yoga again. Namaste.
1. Test your knowledge of vocabulary and feed the hungry. For each word you get right, they donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger at this site Free Rice.
2. Send a gift of chocolate and a little phrase at My M&M’s.
3. I ran across this band on myspace The Big Nekkid. “The Big Nekkid fills that space somewhere in between the hallowed sound of The Allman Brothers Band and the drive of Pearl Jam.”
Thanks for viewing..
Until Next Time..

Week 6: West Virginia
My name is: Amanda Reed
Right now I’m sitting: in my office
My family includes: My husband of almost ten years Gale, my daughter Lydia and my son Gale Reed III
What inspires me is: God’s creation. Everyday I just pray that he would give me his vision as I do my part to capture the beauty he has put into every living thing.
The photographer who most inspires me would be: Seniors make up the biggest percent of my market; so I look to Teri Fode for inspiration as well as Becker and my friend Shelley of As I See It Photography in Canada.
When hanging out online you will usually find me: myspace, its the best networking tool I have found.
The first thing I crave in the morning is: A diet Pepsi
Don’t tell anyone that I love: New Kids on the Block…have you heard about the reunion tour? My best friend of 24 years recently admitted that she lifted my NKOTB cassette when were ten. The horror.
To me “beautiful” is: my children and seeing the world through their eyes. Everything is new again.
This year’s purchases MUST include: A speedlight, a new monitor, big screen for proofing, the list just goes on.
My guilty pleasure is: getting my hair done….yea I know its crazy but I usually spend my extra cash on my kids, like they need anything else. So when I actually do something for me I do feel a little guilty.
If I had $500 to spend on myself today, I would buy: I need a vacation so I would most likely deposit it on a reservation at the beach.
I think my best feature: my eyes
I am addicted to: Everyone in my family knows I have a sock fetish. Warm, fuzzy, patterned as long as it’s socks. At Christmas Im an easy buy, when all else fails get socks.
View Amanda’s website
1. A local MO lawyer who loves chocolate; founder of Askinosie Chocolate, makes chocolate yum yums and 10% of the funds go to farmers who supply the beans.
