just drive or bye bye summer.
Hey y’all, it’s about that time for summer to leave us again. For those of us whose lives are still somehow affected by the weight of that news, I just wanted to take a moment. For me, this was a good summer, full of work but equally full of play. … Continue reading -
the green movement.
I have this line of polaroids taped to the wall in the hallway leading into my bedroom with a pencil line that runs beneath them. I don’t remember my initial plan for this wall or these images but I know need them there. They are polaroids taken in 2008 during a trip with a dear friend to a pretty amazing place to do some good. I suspect we did the … Continue reading

old habits die hard
I made my first book in 1998 as a sketchbook for a trip I was very excited about taking to Kenya in Eastern Africa. I had this great idea to just “make my own” as a place to document everything I would see. I was then, as I am now, obsessed with documenting everything.

Saturday night pagodas and candlelight.
Saturday night KL and I went across the river for two celebrations: a world-wide festival and to celebrate SL + KL’s belated birthdays. It started off with an impromptu visit to the Pagoda to leave our bikes in a safe place since the streets were “walk only” that night.

these are the people in the neighborhood.
I usually am not a big fan of taking pictures of people. Usually my old travel partner, cw would take care of that part as I would always be more interested in the plant life or landscapes. We made a good team because by the end of our trip together we would have had everything documented, lol. But this time I had to make sure I had a picture of … Continue reading
