the long weekend

(sorry for the brutish writing in this one.)


new years eve. our cultural rebirth. spent with the two most important people from my high school experience ten years after we started high school. one of us is smoking a cigarette, another is drinking covertly from a flask, and the third is covered in tattoos. "what happened to us?"



enough has changed that i dont always recognize myself in photographs these days. thank god for gin and tonic.


new years day. slid down the slide of central california. hung out with my "big sister" and her baby girl who is almost as intrigued by my camera as she is with hers. please note that hers is backwards.



and spent a slightly sunburned afternoon walking around the huntington gardens.





next up was a drive to see this inexhaustible lady who had me kayaking to the next town for coffee in the morning. and hiking, obviously. (twice.)



the next day was significanty more sedate -- boogie boarding and a visit to my little sister at her college campus.



she's growing up and i'm kind of having a hard time adjusting to her as an adult.


this morning the inexhaustible lady and i heard her father grinding coffee even before our alarm clock went off. i was on the road by dawn.




i'm going to be doing this project called 100 strangers, which essentially entails taking portraits of 100 people i dont know. i'm excited.


twenty ten i'm taking hold of you good and strong.
