…getting back to it. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I want to spend my minutes. For so long I have forced everything I possibly can to fit into my life. With all this effort I have found that I am still not in a place of happiness. I can’t quite fit creativity […]

{captured} week of 10.8.12

October 14, 2012

This week was filled with hard labor, teacher trainings, runs along the ocean, and piles and piles of mulch. The yard had undergone a transformation in 5 days.

{sunday shoot} behind the camera

September 26, 2012

I have found that I like to look at life through a lens. Looking through a camera I have fresh eyes. Snapping a couple frames has also turned into a awesome way to spend an afternoon with friends. Kate, Gina, and I mounted the Muni tracks not far from Dolores Park to walk the rails […]
