from the trip

our first few days we stayed with my friend, amy. she is an artist and had already scoped out a sweet light spot in her home for me to photograph in.

she matters to me. deeply.

new toy

i got an instax mini for my birthday.

beyond fun.

i love this method of preserving childhood memories.

it is what it is, but it looks like what it isn't

cutting up things to make vegetarian chili.
i was distracted and did not cut down the middle.
not even close.
but this greeted me.
this seashell cut of an onion.

does that happen to you? the beautiful design of the food we eat?
nature at its best? it happens to me. often.

my june shelf

picking up this stack at the library had me a little anxious. but then I remembered I was picking it up on the 2nd of the month---- not the 20th, as I've been moreso doing. who knows though, I am seriously considering reading this and this before I dive into the stack.

I found a new sweet light spot in my house. It makes me stop every day with the desire to photograph something in it. these books were the first thing. granted, they're highly adjusted, but the spot is there. and I'm excited.

where have I been..

you ask? Well, all over the place. It was amazing. Why haven't I shared? WELLLLL, I'm waiting to get back this stuff.

but I looked like this most of the time.

and got some quick ones I love already. So I can't wait to see the film.

How was your May?

leaving

a couple things:

i left this morning on a massive 3 week trip 

going to nyc first

then philly for a minute

then penn laird for a while,

then DC to celebrate and party

then raleigh to relax and enjoy

then auburn to laugh and play the day away.

its a big trip.

i took my twin lens and my ricoh.

i bough a summery dress (fabric pattern above).

see ya, weirdo spring of utah. 

i'll be spending may gallavantly in the fresh green of the east.

when i get back, its full steam ahead to prepare for the downtown farmer's market.

did I mention I got in? that there were 246 applicants for 100 spots? 

I DIDN'T?

Well, here's notice. I'm going to be there. A few saturdays.

and I'm stoked. It will be so nice

to spend the day there.

to meet new people (and potential models for my personal work).

I'll be announcing the set dates and all that, but for now,

enjoy your may. take some pictures. read some books. write something.

the may shelf

still plugging away on those newbery winners over here. Thankfully, May is a short stack.
