dusk on the central coast

it's a beautiful sight to behold, the rolling hills that eventually run into the ocean, the tree appears, only to become a silhouette, yet the wires never disappear

i'm listening

to this right now. i particularly love the xylophone usage. and especially the song titled "death to los campesinos!"

easily overwhelmed

my daily regimen of searching for and discovering inspirational things seems to be more hurtful than helpful; i become overwhelmed with possibilities, aesthetics, and seemingly more intriguing people and things that i feel i can never compete with... so rather than trying to compete i simply don't. this is not how i wish to lead my life, so i'm going to try to just do what i do and hope it's satisfying, and, if i can venture to be optimistic, maybe even good.

alternate means, part one

tandem bicycle, one of many alternative ways to get around town

my friend kyle can go it alone, but two at a time is ideal

ciao ciao loves

reminds me

of yesterday. woke up to the thunder of a sweet summer storm.

ciao

sun flares, summer scheming

from berlin to california, can you feel the heat?

berlin memories
our own shadow puppets in the park
front yard hedge
so long, farewell [cassie]
always a blur [trevor]
when the air cools down, the dancing gets hot
new house
old ghosts
ciao ciao

early summer, late fall

i got experience one city twice. once in november, once in june.

copenhagen, denmark.
linear, simple, and organic
assistens graveyard, saying hello to hans christian andersen

louisiana museum of modern art
easily one of my favorite places in the world, so i went twice.
plenty of grass to sit on and take in the seaside cliff side view, and take a mini nap
a phenomenal show, lucian freud
loosely translated "picture at night, fallen down on the belly"
and richard avedon
incredible fashion photography, self-portraits, and everything in between
andy warhol's factory, immensely impressive

both artists are must sees if ever, and when ever possible.

ciao ciao, con baci
