Obsessed

Laura Letinsky's still life photography is so rad.

Breakin' / Wishin'

Taking a study break – made a little birthday wish list, just for kicks.

The last year of my twenties is upon me!

Testing

BELL FLOWERS – TEST STRIP OF A PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPH

My morning was spent processing in a dark room – the first time I have ever done this! It is so much fun to work with my hands and create art this way. Rewarding, too. I am really looking forward to shooting a roll of film this weekend and taking it into the lab next week. 

Going, Going, Gone

Time moves so quickly. I want it to slow down, and I want it to speed up.

East & Forward

We drove through the mountains to Selah for a couple of days over the long weekend. The sun didn't hang around much, but we made the most of it. The kids still spent the majority of the day in the pool, despite the wind and rain. I kept watching them through the window, wishing I were as tough as I once was. Kids seem to have a certain tolerance for discomfort, as long as they are having fun.

Need Something

Feeling a little gloomy whenever I'm alone lately. I think I feel a bit stifled by my environment – this room is not mine, these things don't belong to me. I have been remembering my apartment on Belmont Avenue and missing the space that was all my own.

I miss the cherry trees that grew outside the windows, and the little birds that would socialize there – and the evening sun, the way that it danced across the building opposite mine, scattering little rays of light across my room – and the familiar noises, like the click and hum of the heater (my electricity bill was so expensive!) – baking and listening to podcasts in my kitchen, and having picnics on the floor of the living room while watching bad redbox movies...

It was pretty romantic. 

The sunshine just broke through the clouds and is warming my face. That helps a little bit.

Summer Love

I keep finding things that I never got around to sharing with you. These are photos I took at Kristen and Michael's wedding last year. It was such a sweet and enchanting weekend.

El Año Pasado

Entries I made during my time abroad in the journal that Ashley gave me.

I was reading Tender Is The Night at the time, and this postcard that I found at the Pollensa Sunday market fit the vibe perfectly.

(exactly one year ago today!)

I've been awfully reminiscent lately. A welcome distraction from studying for finals, I guess.

Places I've Been

There is a part of me that wants to have these, despite the fact that I already own an authentic pair - which have walked on actual Mallorcan ground - sitting on the floor in my closet. I suppose in some silly way, finding these in a box on my doorstep might feel like a small piece of Mallorca is coming to me, since I cannot go to it.

I miss Spain, and that part of my life, in such a deep and crazy way -- it's hard to put those feelings into words.

Ps. And wouldn't this be nice, too?

2 Down

Well, this is a rather unimpressive photo that I've taken of a very beautiful one from this week's New Yorker. I am too tired to do any better right now, so do forgive me!* Spring break is around the corner, and I look forward to finally having some "me time." It's exciting to think I will be able to read something other than my text books!

So, here I am already nearing the end of another quarter. Finals are next week, which I think I may be in denial about. Ten weeks really do pass so quickly. My classes have been challenging, and extremely demanding of my time - but ultimately so worthwhile. I will especially miss my political science class. It was by far the most interesting, and my professor, who dressed mostly in Bill Cosby sweaters, shared insights which pressed me to think deeply and critically about so many things.  Next quarter will be less interesting, but also less intense (I think/hope). I welcome the break.


Spring is trying so hard to show its face around these parts. I can hardly wait for all of the flowers to bloom. While walking to class today, I could detect a sweetness in the air; a promise that the season is very near.



*Also, in my defense, I sadly cannot seem to transfer my Adobe Design Suite onto my new Macbook. :( It's rather painful.
