a short long history

oldies taken 04/05 (before i got my boobies - a joke, just so we're clear.)

OK friends, i need your help. what would you like to see in this blog? initially i had started it as a companion to hannahandlandon.com a glimpse into our lives when we are not rolling around our home in scandalous attire or stomping our through the outdoors. but i'm afraid i've not done a very good job of that and have really only re-posted pictures (or those of a similar nature) from the website onto here and left out all the filler stuff that happens in our life. so here is where you may direct me. ask me questions! i don't believe i've ever shared in too much detail what i do during the daytime hours (besides feeding myself copious amounts of string cheese and watching lost). I have tried to convince landon to write little things here and there but he, alas, is much more comfortable behind the camera and i imagine that will continue to be his contribution as the landon of hannahandlandon (though i am quite happy to tell you all about him should you like to know!) tell me what you'd like to see here and i will do my best to make it happen! more kitten movies? more pre-raphaelite paintings? more inspiring photos from yesteryear (i can toss in some newbies too though the rest of blogger seems to have taken care of that for me)! i will start by telling you that i grew up in ottawa (ontario) memorizing Shakespeare's famous female roles alone in my attic bedroom, swooning over the tumultuous lovelives of 19th century artists, ragging my hair and walking tip toe on my point shoes (a dancer of 12 years though i was never great except for on stage) and then going to all night dance parties, dying my bangs pink, wearing plastic jewelry up to my elbows, talking about jesus and then singing along to chris carrabba, wearing cat-eye glasses, joining makeoutclub and lipstickandcigarettes and dreaming of the west coast. moved to the westcoast, went to missionary school, was ushered out of Morocco by secret police, spent the remainder of missionary days happily beveraged on a beach in Spain, left missions, engaged in the jovial Vancouver nightlife, then met landon. lived in a happy house with best friend, brother and landon, got engaged, travelled abroad with brother, married landon of the USA on a beach named after a relative (unbeknownst to us at the time). returned to Canada to visit family, got stuck in Canada for seven months, was reunited with my new husband, lived happily ever after (and documented all of it online! hehe). i don't know what you can ask me now that i've shared allllll! sorry!

  1. It's funny, i've been following your LJ for so long that i actually remember your post about morocco. I don't even remember how i came across your journal years ago(& became admittedly addicted to reading it) but i've seemed to accidentally stumble across your pages/photos ever since!

    I personally enjoy seeing little snippets into yours & landons everyday lives & reading the funny stories that accompany them.

  4. I love all the insights into your life, from clothing to loving to pictures. I especially like the pictures, pictures of you, pictures of your fella, pictures that inspire and pictures that humor. I'd love to know more about what you and your bloke do (for a living and otherwise) and where you came from. Hmmm, that should suffice for now :)

  7. You're wedding photographs are so beautiful! I'm getting married in three weeks and I'm praying the weather is just as perfect!
    I think it's lovely just viewing your photographs and hearing about your days. So maybe put in a little more of this? But I also like seeing what you're looking at and what inspires you. I especially loved it when you put in pictures of your dresses and wrote about the memories they hold with you. that was really special and unique. xo

  19. sara - an embarrassing tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hLAJbZSOnM here

    jeny - we play with curves, levels and colour balance til we get what we like :) these are 4 year old pictures so our technique is a bit changed now and we do less editing.

    ashley - landon is a freelance designer and fine artist and i merchandise vintage clothing but prefer to work as a buyer (and did so up until moving sadly).

  22. Hi Hannah,

    I've been browsing your blog for a while now but I just came across this post. You're gorgeous! What caught my eye was that you mentioned you used to listen to Chris Carrabba! I used to love Dashboard when I was younger, and I thought I was the only one to admit it nowadays, especially living in Brooklyn! You're a brave soul.. haha

  23. I know this is a super old post now but I just wanted to say that this picture of you totally reminds me of Barbra Streisand, especially since your hair color here is pretty much the exact same color she had in Hello, Dolly.

    And just for clarification, that's definitely a compliment, in case you weren't sure. Hahah I remember one time my creative writing teacher said an outfit I wore reminded him of Boy George, which could have been insulting but definitely wasn't.
