1/8/12: i took a bunch of pictures today, but this one just kind of encompasses the whole day. we walked down to the farmers market cause i was craving empanadas and it was just a gorgeous day. this leaning tree made me giggle. 

1/9/12: trees two days in a row! eep! today was super awesome. woke up early and got some errands done - got ink for my printer so i can start putting these photos in my album, got a bunch of canvases so i have no excuse to get behind on a painting a week, went grocery shopping (gasp!). then came back and had some beef stew for lunch and walked to the beach and back. the four miles wore me out and gave me blisters the size of quarters - but nothin a sushi burrito for dinner cant cure. 

1/10/12: playing around with new editing techniques. i have such a hard time taking photos in my apartment because its just so dark and yellow. thats the point of this project though, i guess, to learn new things and get better. so i finally got around to framing and hanging the bag that my secret santa gift came in! i love it. its so pretty. 

1/11/12: wednesday we had the sweets truck come to work to celebrate january birthdays. yum. 

1/12/12: i admit, i had to kind of stretch with this one. it was late and i hadn’t taken my photo yet. but i did want to talk about these shoes eventually anyway, so here goes. these were my first pair of expensive shoes. fifty dollars! they’re from the wild pair, remember that store? i was in seventh grade. my mom was so pissed. she didn’t think i would wear them. but let me tell you, i wore the shit out of these babies. eventually i got tired of them, but somehow they managed to survive every fit of feng shui madness i’ve had since then (and there have been plenty) because i just loved them so much. i left them at home when i moved to la, but every once in awhile i think about them and in my head they are so amazing that i wished i had them with me here. so finally when i went home this time for christmas, i had my mom dig them out and i brought them back with me. they’re hideous, right? i tried wearing them the other day with my pajama pants for like a seventies vibe, but it didn’t work. i have to keep them though. i know the instant i would get rid of them, i would immediately want them back because bell bottoms came back into style or something.

1/13/12: marshall and i have had a longstanding rain check for another double date with josie and joe for sausages at wurstkuche venice. friday we finally cashed it in. 

1/14/12: i met marshall and his roommates in santa monica tonight for a walk and some sushi. thank god because the sunset was effing amazing. 

see january week one here

we came across this beauty on the walk to the farmers market sunday morning. it was love at first sight. i went a little nuts, sorry. but - do you see this?! come on now. 

also, this is my first attempt at using katie’s pencil box method of photo editing. i’m in love. 

cameras and iphones. two of my favorite things…just a couple whozits and whatzits to add to my collection.

i’ve had two rolls of film from my diana mini laying around for months now and i finally got them developed. by far, the most disappointing results to date. i’ve been pretty pleased with most of the other rolls. out of sixty something exposures, only 18 were usable. out of those, only a handful were interesting. i’m working on a new project with her that i’m hoping will turn out better. for now, a couple of shots from lacma. 

meanwhile, yesterday we found this little gem in an alley. 

earlier in the week on our lunchtime walk, no one was dressed for pictures but we happened upon this vintage beetle and i fell in love.
