clementines

Early morning. A ray of sun, sweet like a clementine, crawls across the floor and into my bed. I watch the dust settle, a kaleidoscope lost in a stain glass window. Billowing white curtains brush against my shoulder taking bits of me with it, lifting higher and higher, above and above. The world may feel dead in winter but not the sun, never that sweet sun.

Life has been a little difficult for me recently. Days seem long, and never ending.  My only comfort are dreams of sweet days to come full of adventure, passion, and new places. And of course I must remind myself to live brightly even when the world is dull. To find beauty in everything and take note of its existence even if it is small. Although it may be difficult, its something we must all do for ourselves- a kind of self preservation. So lets hope for a beautiful New Year. :)

December has been cold and best spent curled on the couch.

shopping malls

No travel plans, no shopping malls. No candy canes, or Santa Claus for as the day of rest draws near, it's just the two of us this year. sufjan

sx-70

Found an early Christmas present on my doorstep this afternoon, a Polaroid sx-70. The film may be astronomical on ebay but I'm considering this worth it. I've loved these cameras since I discovered Andre Kertesz's Polaroid book.

early mornings

The sun is always so warm in the morning, even in the dead of winter.

Peace Valley

Through the forests of rural Pennsylvania. My film camera (an old 35mm canon that I've had since the age of sixteen) took its last photo here before leaving me for good.
