Living in Paradise.*

hawai'i is truly a tropical paradise. my best and oldest friends, weather made in heaven, living with aloha, white wine on the north shore, local boys, sacred falls, tantlis, menehune, house babies, and everyone just trying to enjoy life. basically like the polar opposite of la. just a few moments....*

Our Mystical Journey in Joshua Tree.*

we took a group trip to joshua tree about 2 summers ago...it's the closest you can get to the landscape im currently craving while still in california...grainy film to match the grainy sand....riding together on the same wave in between the ancient rocks....*

Summer Travels: Red Rocks, Navajo Lands, & Petrified Forests.*

for the past few months, all i can think of is being in desert landscape. red rocks, red earth, petrified forests, rivers, native land, cacti, silver, navajo prints, beads, and lots&lots of sky. just over a month left until i can make this trek. inspiration&desired lands....*

Bulgaria in Lomo.*

this girl has a good blog. she takes pictures only with lomo cameras and she just went to bulgaria to shoot. i have been dying to visit eastern europe for ages for exactly this reason. is embodies my love for the beauty of decay and decrepitude more than any other place in the world due to all it's been through. check her out at analogphotoblog.com.*

India: The Banglewalas.*

i just love these because of moody yet vibrant colors..."wala" means "man," so a "banglewala" is the "bangle man." they press your hands together in a certain way to fit your bangles so you never take them off until they break, and then you replace them. there are about a million of them right next to one another so when you go to one booth the others just get super bummed because they all carry the same stock and it's just a matter of random choice. who will make money today?*

India: Part II- Portraits.*

reliving these moments confirms my desire to return to my trip and see it to its full realization. these people were so kind in letting me borrow a moment in time.*

India: Part I- Agra.*

finally, here we are. india, you will always hold a place in my heart.*
