LUCKY FINDS

flower


ONE

a beautiful italian-bound hardcover featuring gorgeous prints of some of the earliest photographs ever taken (like this english dandelion from 1839)…

plucked from the dusty shelves of a valencia street used bookstore for less than half its worth…

read over consecutive mornings in an old wooden rocking chair at the window, w/coffee steam & stamina, where the sun flows into the apartment like warm water.

banknote


ANOTHER

a 100-dollar banknote…

caught in my dumb fingers while blowing through the dead streets of soma…

verified at a majestic bank w/magic pen & machine, while trying to determine if i’d run like a criminal should it turn up counterfeit.

SANGRIA FRANCISCOin a large apartment. downtown. down the stairs. a housewarming from the chill of coastal california. friends & food - homemade pico de gallo & guacamole. a cheesecake. cups of sangria w/citrus fruits & berries. low key, high brow, mid-evening.

FALL FASHION VICTIMS VERSUS FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
FALL FASHION VICTIMS VERSUS FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

KIDS, THEY'RE KIDDING YOU

to come of age in the modern world is to realize on your own that there’s a difference between $tyle & substance… because everywhere you turn will swear otherwise.

GETTING BETTER

i’ve spent the last three days & nights huddled into the corner of a couch, by an old lamp that flickers like a candle, fevered & feeling worse than a pile of putrid garbage cooking in the august sun. being sick is like being dead w/out the release. a fall w/out the jump. purgatory on earth.
still. if i could learn to appreciate this sort of thing, even this, that would likely be the key to everything.
