i don’t know why it took so long, but i just got film from 2008 processed. i must have bought the roll towards the end of living in oakland because the first few are california, the last are of an street festival in eastown (michigan).
i’m inspired by these images. there’s a depth to film that just doesn’t translate in digital imagery. i’m hooked.
i get to play tour guide for my roommate, krysta, who is here between costa rica and new york for the summer (i know, rough life huh?). we biked to the IMA on sunday for some films at the toby and then i showed her my favorite tree in indy, which of course we climbed. i’m going to miss this beautiful lady when she leaves for NYU.
i have a feeling edible indy’s fall issue will make your mouth water. i can tell you mine did when i was shooting late harvest kitchen‘s splendid dishes for one of the stories.
violet vintage, indianapolis’ own vintage party rental company, is open! i attended their sweet open house in june and was excited to peruse their eclectic inventory. if you’re planning a wedding or party in central indiana, this is your place. check them out!
during the fall of 2006 when i was sick of being in school, i took off to france for a few months. i connected with a wonderful family living just outside of paris who welcomed me into their home and through them had the opportunity to be a part of la fonderie, a community that explores the connections between art, culture and the faith of artists who are searching to (re)connect with god. those three months were incredible, difficult, lonely, exciting, and beautiful.
i’ve been waiting (a bit un-patiently at times) to return and i think the time is approaching! my rough plan (subject to many changes, i am sure) is to leave indy in january and stay until may or june when i will return for wedding season. i’m looking for as many connections as i can find. i want to continue my work as a photographer while i’m there so if you live in france and need some photos, i’m all yours. i’ll be looking for a place to live, for friends and/or roommates… all of the things that make up life.
i went through a few pictures from my first time in france yesterday and they weren’t all that bad. i can’t wait to see france again!
