from a picture walk with jonathan on the ninth of march:




i've been wanting to explore inside this abandoned house for so long, but i haven't been able to find a way in yet.

jonathan is planting a native garden in his frontyard, so he collected different species inside little cups in his backpack as we went along.

we found this centipede hiding underneath a rock.

and we found this shattered mirror in a forest.



jonathan took this picture for me. right afterwards, the billygoat dug his horns into my ribcage and then tried to charge us. we ran from him and hid in the olive trees until he went away. i don't think i've ever been so scared in my life.

this is what growing up in the suburbs looks like:

i'm probably going to delete this post really soon, but i was just sitting here, getting some photo work done so i can watch a rerun of friends and then force myself to go to sleep at twelve, when i remembered that today someone hugged me very close and told me that he wished i could be clothing so he could wear me everyday to work. this is also someone who told me once that he wished my body could be glued to his, and another time that he wished i could be the comforter on his bed, or at least his pillow. and now i have this stupid grin on my face... i'm not used to this kind of happy; on the rare occasions that i feel it, i can't help but think my heart is going to burst.

i thought i'd post a few recent instant pictures while i sort out the mess of film i've accumulated within the last month or so. the universe has been especially kind to me lately and i feel a lot better now. i can't wait to show all of you the new things i've been working on!

manny and i listened to tommy with candles burning in my room.

these two are sneak peeks from an editorial i shot on friday.



i've been wanting to take this picture for a really long time.



mountains and brandon in idyllwild on sunday, the nicest day.
