More photo backlog. Fall is the one time of year that is truly breathtaking here.

Yellow maple leaves
Carved pumpkins done by M & L
Glowing (mine’s in the middle; I think I cut away too much b/c it rotted early)

They carry produce that Americans normally won’t touch unless introduced to it as a “gourmet item.” And for cheap, too.
Case in point: fresh, tender watercress. For soup, or for yummy egg, cress and prosciutto sandwiches.
Case in point: sweet, mellow golden kiwi. (2 for $1). For breakfast, or for a treat in [...]

All right you-all, I know my blog has been imageless, quiet, and boring lately. And this is my 100th post (yay, milestones!). So I’ll devote this one solely to photography for a change. These are poladroids I made from shots I took when my friends and I went down the shore (to the beach, for [...]

I’m currently sitting in the San Jose airport waiting for my plane to Philly. After moving out of South Bend on Wednesday, I flew out here to CA and spent the weekend attending a wedding, doing research in Monterey, and spending lots of quality time with my boyfriend. Summer has been coming on [...]

This week has been crazy. So this post is (very) short, but sweet.
In an act of shameless self-promotion, here’s a bit of news:

I have an alarmingly long to-do list for the next two weeks, but I haven’t been able to get very much work done since the weekend. (Hence my being up at 2:00 AM listening to Pandora and blogging). Thought I might as well post some photos of my Easter table, since I wrote about all [...]

Sunshine, warmth, green hills, wildflowers and fruit trees blooming all over the place, Stanford, the Pacific Ocean, quality boyfriend time, hangouts with good friends, AMAZING food, city walks, photoshoots, arts community, lots of time and space to sleep and write . . . exactly what the doctor called for. I had a wonderful, [...]

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.
As a spiritual discipline, I like to fast from certain things during this season. Last year I gave up sweet drinks and my bicycle. A couple of years before that, I gave up AIM.

I shouldn’t be up right now. By all accounts I should be conked out, sleeping like a dead woman. I was so tired at the end of my night class today that I could barely stay awake for the last 40 minutes. Likewise when I got home and had a conversation with D. Could barely [...]

I’m so happy that Photoshop has finally made a return into my life.
I love the image I used for the new banner, but it doesn’t fit with the color scheme of this theme too well. Maybe later I’ll consider switching themes.
Below is the result of a little more recent playing-around with Photoshop. I’ve been thinking [...]
