Dear 2011,
I’m ready for you. Same Moleskine. Different year.

“They say you gotta kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince. But in this town everyone thinks they’re royalty. And the frogs don’t stand a chance.”
—Nikki, ‘Spread’ (2009)
The 'Fit
This is a clear example of the level of Lovelin’s steeze. I told her we were going out to take the trash and this is what she chose to put on - KR3W Backpack, Obey Denim Jacket, Men’s Jeans (brand new), and gloves in her buttpocket. Gloves.
My side of the closet has a stack of raggedy oversized graphic tees, cheap cardigans, holed buttons ups, and hand me downs from my grandma’s closet. Circa 1970s. I’ve been outsteezed by the L-Machine.
One Night Stand Show | Photo by Pete Ulatan | 12.11.10
Thank you to my close friends that made the drive and stopped by the show on Saturday at Soundbite Studios. It was a lot of fun to have my Philippines portraits featured next to Matt Fisher’s Venice photographs. Thank you especially to my photographer-friend Pete Ulatan for driving from San Diego just to show some support! Check out his photos of the art show here: One Night Stand | Ulatan Photography.
Handmade Christmas Cards, 2010.
On a definite budget for this year’s presents. Found cardstock paper in my bookshelf and decided to make handwritten cards for my mom & dad. Used a wax seal I purchased in Solvang earlier this year to add a personal touch.

Fish Scale Clouds
“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”

My friend M. Chu made this scrumptious plate of goodness for me this morning in return for taking photographs of her 100-piece miniature origami crane project. Photos to come soon.
My Favorite Boots
These are my absolute favorite boots at the moment. My other black ones have taken quite a beating from the constant wear and swinging open of doors. I’ve retired those for painting and fishing. These are my new golden tickets.
