Life is settling a little more every day. I’ve settled into routine, which involves Skype, instant coffee, KEXP online, and looking out at the gray sky and being reminded of home. I was warned that when the initial charge of being abroad for a long while settles, a pretty wicked case of homesickness will take [...]

Go ahead, click the link. I’ll wait here.
No really, go follow the link. Just make sure you come back.
Okay, now you may be asking why I made you go to Amazon.com. See that book cover?  Go ahead, look at it again. On that cover is one of my photographs. So, if you put two and [...]

I’ll cut back on being wordy. I’m preserving it for my study abroad application and English paper due tomorrow. But since this weekend was pretty filled, I’ll post a little somethin somethin.
Enjoyed beautiful weather by going on a photowalk. Somehow ended up at Pike Place Market, where I bought the best artichoke known to man.

Got [...]

In the process of clearing off my memory card for Halloween festivities tomorrow, I came across more Maui photos that provided a great source of escapism.

 I also found a photo that Dylan took of me which captures a moment I enjoyed immensely: napping on the warm rocks as the sun set at Kalama Park.

I’ve noticed in this last batch of photos from a lovely dinner with friends that I cut off far too many heads when taking photos of people. I should fix that. I just love faces too much, methinks.  Good thing I caught this before heading to Albuquerque this weekend. I’d hate to ruin a weekend [...]

I was chosen as photo of the day again by Seattlest. Either the pool slowed down or that Nikon d80 I borrowed to take the photo has some magic voodoo powers.
*rolls dice*
The d80 walks away victoriously.

One of my photos in the Seattlest flickr pool was chosen as photo of the day. Whee! They didn’t even do me dirty like the Bostonist did to my friend Kevin. That sure is nice of them. Now how’s that for a leisurely Saturday wank fest?

I was going through some of my Paris archives and this shot in particular took me back in an instant: the feeling of disgust as I picked out pieces of ham from my crepe while faintly hearing the sounds of children in a schoolyard playing. I remember the irrational fear that the pigeons [...]

Two months later I finally added some holga shots from my trip to flickr to beef up my France set. I’ve sat there looking at the contact sheets for many weeks feeling unimpressed and disappointed. Unfortunately for me, while in Paris I was struck with “fear-of-taking-photo-itis”. You know, that illness that makes you so worried about [...]
