I've been spending my spare time watching the mini-series Christy that I got at Sam's Club. Watching this, I've noticed a few side effects. Namely, an inadvertent southern drawl, usage of phrases like, "Well I reckon'..." and an irrepressible urge to French braid my hair. Watching this also makes me want to move to the hills of Tennessee and become a missionary/school teacher.



I've been stripping wallpaper in my house and am repainting. I have attempted for my four years of house-sitting to restrain those decorator tendencies, but I was simply unable to hold back anymore. A year of looking at this hideous wallpaper every time I walked into the house was simply too much for me. Why did people wallpaper? It was just a bad idea. The work, trying to line up those patterns, all the glue, and most of all - the removal process.

Joanna Reyburn out in a field of weeds

I went out with friends Shelley Paulson and Rebekah Fancher to take some pictures out in a field when we got back from California to practice lighting and such. I was a willing accomplice. You can see more of Rebekah's photos from our day out at her flickr site.

Lou Engle at TheCall California

TheCall California with Lou Engle was on November 1, 2008 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California. Shelley Paulson took some amazing photos that you can see at TheCall's Flickr.

ABOUT THIS SITE:

This site runs on Drupal. I am constantly reworking the css and template using Firefox and the Firebug plugin, which I highly recommend. For FTP, I use Cyberduck. I also use Espresso and Photoshop. Hosting is by Bluehost.

Joanna Reyburn Design 4.0 I actually don't know what design version I'm on right now. This version of my website was inspired by the words "Birdhouse Americana" and the type of T-shirts my mom buys at Cracker Barrel, as well as various design blogs and my own collage and altered art. Thanks to Miss M's Photoshop Brushes, inspiration by Eduardo Recife, cute Twitter bird by Function, found and scanned objects and vintage images, and photos of me provided by the amazing Shelley Paulson.

MUSIC

As a musician, singer & songwriter, I've been compiling recordings for a few years now. Some of them were good, and some weren't, so much. From live worship recordings from the International House of Prayer Kansas City to bootleg Nashville recordings and raw sessions, the music repository is all available for download for free to download here.

PHOTOGRAPHY

I am an amateur photographer with vintage Minota's and a Canon 20D. I"m learning a lot from my photography mentor Shelley, and from what's available online. You can check out my portfolio on my flickr account.
