In like a lion, out like a lamb
Ah, Florida. I came to this sunny place without regret. My mantra for the past year has been all about kinetics: move forward, onward, and up. I always wanted it to be on my own terms, and I barreled into town without a job, or a place to live. I knew where I wanted to [...]
Garlic Fisheye
Like a fairytale mirror of distorted glass, fisheye photos, almost audibly perceived, carry my soul’s voice.
Then there’s food. Obsessed, I consume it, and it consumes me. What a good, reciprocative relationship we have going!
Garlic Fest in Delray Beach 2011
With the under-par food, based around one of the most facilitative of ingredients at that, this colorful [...]
Unholy hours
My insomnia has existed as long as I can remember. As a toddler, I used to watch the sky change color in my window. From black to blue to pale with sun. Time went by so quickly.
Nowadays, I do try to be a grown up and sleep early, with the help of pills, meditation, and [...]
Coming this Fall…
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Oh my, it has been a while. What [...]
Ciao
All things come to a burn. All things fun have a turn. As your fortune paper fades, it floats away. Right CiaoCiao?
Goodbye Jersey City, again. My fickle eyes can’t appreciate a familiar scene, my stubborn ears are too accustomed to the sounds… I’ll return with a stereoscope of memories, and a phonograph of new recordings [...]
History history history history history
When I was a very little girl, I grew up playing hopscotch and jump rope on the streets and the sidewalks. Jersey City was a concrete wonderland, gritty, and breezy. Things got more and more dangerous, and Jersey City became this danger zone, a mouse trap waiting to snap.
The present. While JC [...]
Anniversary Road Trip to Savannah
We spent our first anniversary in Savannah. The soulful, sleepy city seduced us the last time we were there. This time, we explored more of Savannah and its 24 green squares of history.
Magically, the sporadic rain seemed to fall everywhere (when it did), except on us. All we felt was the moist breath of the [...]
Wild Wild West, NJ
This weekend we stepped into the West Jersey for Citziens Band Radio, and we were transported. Was this NJ?? While the band rocked country tunes, folks danced, enjoyed local beer, german beer, and select styles of BBQ. In attendance at this hoedown: a man in lederhosen, men with thumb lever-lidded beersteins, and of course, cowboys [...]
Silver Bloom
They say every cloud has a silver lining. Silver might be fine for some, but what if it were all silver? The lackluster days would move in a heavy blur. When I grow bored, everything’s tarnished. Complacency smears clarity. Screw that! Looking closer, I know what I appreciate: the scrupulous [...]
Eine Nacht der VerWUNDERung!
The birth of my little brother meant the end of my near 4 year reign over my parents, the end of the age of only childedness. Still, we wouldn’t have had such a curious photoshoot at WunderBar on April 17th, his birthday, a late night stinking of bier. A night of music, amplitude, and [...]
