Whitney is a native Californian who thinks she might really like England (despite the fact that she hasn't been there...yet). At one time she wanted to be a chef, but settled for an art degree. That degree actually gets put to use at her 9-to-5 gig as a graphic designer. She currently lives in the Silicon Valley with a very nice boy, a cat that thinks he's a dog, an excessive amount of bikes, and a shoe collection that may soon take over the apartment. She firmly believes that really good french fries NEVER need ketchup.
The obligatory Amazon wish list is here.
The Ugly Green Chair: a web site and an actual chair.
The chair almost met its maker at the dump, but in the true spirit of "one person's junk is another person's treasure", we took it in and gave it a home. The 'ugly green' refers to the color of the chair's upholstery (a strange faux satin-y material, in pale green ). Despite how this sounds, we're actually quite fond of 'ugly green'.
Whitney has had some sort of presence on the interwebs since 1995, but this little web site has been around since January 2001. It started out as mostly text, and evolved into the photo journal sort of thing it is now. All the photos were taken by Whitney, unless otherwise noted. Tools: Canon 40D, Canon Digital Rebel, Canon PowerShot G9, Canon PowerShot G2, Kodak DX3500, Lomo LC-A, and a trusty Pentax K1000.
The current background pattern was found on K10k. The 'blog' portion of the site is powered by Movable Type. The design and layout were done by Whitney and are the result of many years of trial and error learning HTML and CSS. It is by no means perfect, but it works for right now, and we're okay with that.
We like e-mail (though we're not great at replying to it). You can send some to whitneybee (at) gmail (dot) com. Or you can ask us a question over here. We also listen to lots of music, and you can check out what's currently pleasing our ears at last.fm.
