SHADOW BABES

young summer sun

summer time warrants a study in the one you love as well as a study in wilderness swimming, wilderness peeing, wilderness camping and general outdoor swooning/swimming/simultaneously loving your life and those in it.

river babes

Into the great forest; into the river. Into the group van-naps, slumbering beaches, swimming babes, and sun sun sun.




(mostly expired film, though I did have some new shit left in a camera or two. all 600, with janky old 600 cameras..see the rest on my flickr)

three blind mice.

I was at a party on Saturday night. One of those parties where everyone is beautiful and full of goodness. The kind of party where people are running around giving hugs and singing songs. It was really good. Caitlin turned 22, everyone was fancy and gorgeous as usual, I took a couple photos, but something happened and I got too wasted (?) to care about snapping photos, all I wanted to do was sing "three blind mice" and tell people that I loved them. Here are a few of my favourites...you can find the rest of the set on the flickr.

harmonizing in the hilltops

I wish I had brought a tent, or a sleeping bag. I only had an old jacket and old boots but if I had more I dont think I would have left. It was so beautiful!! The grass is almost gold and the trees were old and the air smelt like flowers and hay and asthma a little bit. Drew taught me to harmonize and since no one was around we sung really loudly. I wish I could live ona s unny warm dry hill.

its so perfect out

i love rain and clouds and the way the city smells clean after rain.

I found this flier at four barrel this morning while i was replenshing myself with delicious caffeine. both the pieces on the flier fucking RULE. I had never heard of either of these guys so i did some internet research...its pretty graffiti influenced-street art kinda art, and some of it is rad. The show will be up for a few weeks, i might try and go...If anyone is interested, there is more info here...

Also, surprise surprise, i went to POPS last night and got hammered with Maura. Are you tired of photobooth photos yet? how could you be?! they are fun and happy and silly and i guess sometimes boring if you arent in them...so here are my favourite frames from last night:

pen pals and new cameras

The last two days have been perfect days off. Miles picked me up and old Canon A35-F at Community Thrift a couple days ago and I love it. Its just a simple little automatic camera, its light and fun and hopefully I got some good shots of people in the park and walking around and smelly things on 11th street.



I stopped by Little Otsu and The Curiosity Shoppe on my way to the movie store today and got two lovely cards for two of my loveliest pen pals. Both of these shops are full of so many inspiring things to mail your friends, lovers, grandparents....whoever!



(the pink envelope is full of vintage postage stamps...got that one at Curiosity Shoppe, the little ox is a Little Otsu product)

these days,

i havent been up to very much lately. or maybe i just havent brought a camera with me. ive been working alot, and im trying to learn how to make music. im going to start crocheting a blanket for miles and i very soon, im excited! also, ive been taking hella disposable camera photos...i will post some as soon as i get them developed.

broken hearts.

i am feeling so bittersweet about everything right now. i miss my friends, i miss my old homes, i miss my old town, but i dont want to go back. i want to grow and move forward, but i get so sappy and nostalgic for times ago- times when things were not so serious. when we all had more time, less money, less commitment, and more fun. i miss these people, these summers, backyard bbq's, face painting, drinking on rooftops, epic house parties, and living with your best friends. i need to move forward and make new memories, but its hard, and its winter, and im just plain woeful right now. things will get better, things are good, i need to be where i am, and im grateful for the change, but its hard sometimes.
i think i would feel alot better if i had a backyard, and if more of you sonoma county folk would just move to san francisco already. i need you guys here. i love you too much!
