Hot in the City

Damian is playing in the California sunshine exploring L.A. and while he exhibits his independence I also get to explore mine. Thursday went to an outdoor concert with Michelle in the park in W. Salem and listended to some electro blues/funk music, saw Destree there. Today my friend Michele and I went shopping all over Downtown Salem today, getting to know our town. We had a great time! After 6 hours and heat that spiked at 91 degrees I sure was happy to be on my way home to my slightly cooler apartment, we've resolved to go shopping bi-monthly to see what we can see. Tonight I'm gonna shoot Candace... Pictures to follow... in fact she's on her way to pick us up some iced lattes as we speak!

Defeat:

First self portraits I've done in many months. My self image right now isn't very healthy. I thought that this reflected that.

thinking

"...ignorance is bliss, I don't know, but it's so painful to think, and tell me, what did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking ever bring me? I think and think and think, I've thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it."
Jonathan Safran Foer - Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Trying to prove this wrong, trying to think myself into happiness.
