have you met a man
who ties his heart to his hand?


(happy birthday wishes to alex hamilton, i love you i love you)

everyday learning more;

One of the great things about art, to me, is the fact that every day I am learning more. I have many interests, but at this junction I am good at none of them. Thats when our friend trial and error comes into play. I can fuck around with a cheap canon, I can crochet foreign objects to my hearts content, and I can dream like I've never dreamt before. Everyday I try to get just a little bit better at what I'm doing, and I hope after a few years and much time, I will be good enough at atleast one of the things I love so much. So, here are some photos I took. They are neither horrible nor wonderful, but they are progress, and that has to count for something, right? Im trying, a heartfelt fucking PUSH at trying, which is something. Growing learning, loving, fucking up, im into all of it. For the rest of this mangled set, check the flickr page.

winter woes.

i hung up paper hearts and paper faces. some paper birds and one paper bear. i made freckles on my face and put a hat on alex. miles' photo looks really soft for some reason, its kind of blurred. i want to touch it.




this is me with out any neck. just a floating head, like in baron munchausen. i am a planet!




this is alex looking really warm.

i am not a fan of any of these photos, really. it was just a fun excersise to play with light and shadows in my kitchen. i havent felt exceptionally artistic or creative lately. i dont know what it is, ive been spending all my time reading books instead of being in the real world.
my friend tara and i are going to have a photo shoot in february. i have alot of good ideas and i think she will be an excellent model. she is kind of a cutie-bad ass.
i dont know why i take photos, i guess it is just fun for me.

when winter was summer.

this is alex. he is squinting in the warm sun. i know it isnt nice to post photos of your friends with their eyes closed, but it was such a nice day and it was so warm at the park and alex is handsome regardless of his eyes being in an open state or a closed sleepy state. i love you alex. catch some zzzzz's.

gobble.

date this man:
....and i finally got around to editing and sizing the photos from the bartlett st. thanksgiving. there are some sexy ones of edgar (match.com....single and looking!!) also, some pretty ones of my pretty friends. anyways, here they are. fuck!

many thanks.

i am about to leave my little house and my little cat to journey to petaluma for thanksgiving festivities. last night the Bartlett house held a thanksgiving where i got too drunk and danced too low. my knees hurt! i took many photos, but have no time ti post them, yet! for now i leave you with two of my favourite people who i am very, very, very grateful for. have a happy thanksgiving. dont eat turkey. have some tofu and potatoes instead!

sometimes.

sometimes you flip through photos and find something you never noticed before.

Scarlet Halloween

I am surprised I'm posting right now. I was responsible tonight! I didn't drink too much, I rode my bike home safely, and its almost 1. Still early. I mean, early enough. I have to be to work at 9 tomorrow. Fuck. Anyways! I'm rambling! Tonight was an all girl-scarlet-halloween. It was amazing. The girls had the house totally decked out, everyone dressed up super cute, and it was pretty much all titties, most of the night! We listened to Mariah and plenty of TPain, not too mention some serious MGMT. Haw! Anyways, I had a fuckin awesome time, I only wish I wasnt cursed with a job that beckons me out of sweet sweet slumber so early! I took about 200 photos tonight, woo! I am posting quite a bit, but trust me, they are all key and essential to the night. I rode my bike home with the camera slung over my shoulder and tried to shoot my ride down Valencia...it was totally dangerous and I DO NOT recommend a buzzed, helmet less, bike riding and snapshot taking adventure. Okay, I need to crawl into bed. Thank you beauteous Scarlets for hosting such a fucking RAD party. Thank you everyone who let me photograph YOU! Thanks also, to the cops who showed up for not being TOTAL dicks, and guessing that I was dressed as "Wheres Waldo".

Lastly, i love my friends, especially Alexander Hamilton Kreps and the Long sisters. And Caitlin!
