and I let the music wash over me

"Kurt sings 'Baby’s Arms', as if he was musically prolonging a precious moment, stolen, as if this musical bit inserted itself in the enchanted parentheses of a business man."




"The voices were powerful, the sounds of guitars and drums and more guitar an excellent score for this afternoon, making us all forget how hot and tired we were and remember why it was we were here..."

purple/violet [spirit]




I like the definition of spirit: such a part regarded as a person's true self and as capable of surviving physical death or separation.

Although it is not mine, I could see this combo as someone's truest desires: doughnuts and chinese food (or as a friend has keenly named it "hot garbage").

Love Needles & Pens shop/gallery in SF.
Hair soul.
Tartine Bakery dulce de leche birthday cake slice. supernatural
St Augustine Florida has a thing for white light holiday decor. 
Another of Poppop's sad clowns.

blue [harmony]





Cookie + water + reading = ultimate trifecta. 

Amazing surroundings.

Longest beach legs. 

Beautiful camera reaction. 

Romantic bicycle tires. 

Sweet Castro harmony.

Fiber longing.

green [nature]




I can't get enough of nature. And I don't want to. City jungles, spinach forests, foggy coves... any and all of it. Yes, please. 

I miss the sights of the west coast, but I've been running through the woods here. I saw a baby alligator. There's lots of green. But it's harder to see when the land is so flat. 

one: Valencia Street is full of magical furnishings. 

two: Delfina Pizzeria delicious--
Star Route Farms broccoli raab, caciocavallo, mozzarella, olives, and hot peppers

three: deer near Point Reyes lighthouse

four: going through the Poppop (granddad) art archive; more weird commissions for unknown projects. This time, big-eyed pets?

yellow [sunshine]






I said: "You take the picture!" So my friend took this beauty with my disposable camera. (It was an epic evening.)

Earlier evening in the evening I took this picture; Ocean Beach. Pacific life. 

Seeing tUnE-yArDs was like hearing sunshine and magic.

Homemade truffle by Armadillo Chocolates

/crazy pants.

My grandpa drew this way back in the day. Like 50s or 60s...
There are a lot of them in my house right now and they are creepy. Mostly sad. 
I wonder what they were for? Who commissioned the saddest clown project? The sunlight was nice, though. So were the textures.

orange [healing]


 


 


I'm back in Florida. As of December 19th. A lot of people didn't know; a lot of people still don't know; a lot of people don't know why or for how long. But I don't know all these answers. And some of them are big exciting secrets that I'm holding onto and making sure they are strong and secure before I let them out to be free and roam. Sometimes it is awkward, that's okay.

I am, absolutely, healing. Everyday. I've gotten into high-fives. I high five the little things and the larger ones. You've got to find the joy in (orange) healing. Go team!

Sidewalk koi on a stroll in San Francisco/the morning I left.
This kombucha flavor knocked my socks off.
Art and landmarks.
Strange things found on a windy morning--teamwork, sunshine, roundness... symbols?
A weekend jaunt to Orlando accompanied by some fresh orange ice cream at Red Hill Groves.

red [life]


I'm feeling good and productive. I've got ideas and projects and goals and dreams and AND AND!!
It's great! It's hopeful. I needed this. I'm learning so much.
I ended the year 2011 in a positively happy mood despite, well, many things, but freshly cutting my knee open (I went back and forth about posting that photo---kinda beautifully red, but maybe actually really gross..? Ha). I've been fairly clumsy lately; I attribute it to the moon phases and my new "free" sense of self.  Aka there is no point in being so caution because shit is going to happen regardless. 

I watched the movie Beginners last night... into the New Year. Wonderful. It hit all the right places in my head and heart. Appropriate, too. It is time for beginnings. One thing that stayed with me was the meanings behind each color of the rainbow flag. So for today I choose red. Life. 

These photos are from a variety of moments in 2011.
Crazy milk drinks from the asian market in El Cerrito. A lust-worthy moped on Valencia Street. 
A Ritual Coffee Roasters sea salt chocolate chip cookie. 
A puppy on the BART. (I miss California, but I don't feel too far from it...)
Two disposable camera prints from my recent twenty-second birthday. Back in Gainesville. 

[I thought I'd participate in this January 2012 photo project and today is "YOU"]
So the final shot is a bowl-cut portrait from around age 5 or so. 

Wholehearted. 2012! READY set go!
