The Hood

My location for the summer is perfect-- next to a park (where things like hipsters vs. hippies water fights break out), 2 blocks from the best food ever, close to people I love, and somewhere where I magically bump into people all the time. Summer 2011 is magical!

Sky High

Apparently all I want to do is take pictures from the sky or of the sky. Over-exposed Jesus. I like how this shot turned out-- both ways.

Even Running

Isn't all that bad with views like these:7 weeks to go!

Workshop(ed)

Tom Douglas is a bit of a Seattle icon. He has a bazillion restaurants (the ones I've tried have been pretty tasty). I hit his newest, Dahlia Workshop for a working breakfast. Lo and behold the man himself was there (and even answered a question I asked the checkout girl). Witness creepy stalker picture below of him in front of the menu board. My fried green tomato and bacon biscuit was delicious.

Loom Room

Check out all the pretty yarn in UW's loom room!

Sigur Ros @ the Greek

I wrote about it here. But really happy with how some of these pictures turned out.... most are by me, a few by Adam F. who was nice enough to let me use his fancy pants camera. Iceland! The show was seriously magical.. and the rain didn't fall until the end of the encore. You really do need to listen to them now. You can see more (I took a billion but who knows when they'll make it up) here.
