more or less. I'm not exactly sure where the trail ran.

I just can't stop loving dirty dishes. I just can't.


Clean ones too, are pretty cool...


This is the first time I've wanted to take pictures of dishes here in our sublet. Interesting.

I've been trying to figure out how to take pictures and have them look the way I see them. I suppose that's always the trick with taking pictures, or any kind of art/communication, but I mean it in a very basic way. I'm still trying to figure out how to make my camera do certain things. About a thousand pictures later, and I'm finally figuring out how to use the manual focus. Also, this is the first time I've really taken pictures in color. To put a finer point on it, it's the first time I've worked with color and been able to manipulate it beyond just framing the shot.

Next stop, PhotoShop.

Taste Of Noho, Yo--After





And the wreckage that followed.

Asparagus

I love asparagus. I love it. I especially love it broiled a little too long. The tops get crispy and nutty, and you can pull the skin off and eat the stringy insides.







Sometimes I eat it raw, taking one piece the way I used to take a spaghetti noodle and soften it in my mouth while the water was boiling. It makes me feel like I'm eating grass.
A few weeks ago we woke at 4:30 to the sounds of bird chirping and a couple arguing loudly outside the window. It was mostly the man's voice, repeating things over and over (I told you that, I told you that, I told you that; yes you did, yes you did, yes you did; etc.). Am I making it up that I think I heard him outside again just now?

Taste Of Noho, Yo--Before






We traveled to Northampton this weekend to visit our favorite Boston(ish) couple. They had each just gotten new bikes, so we all biked from their home in NoHo to Amherst where, by coincidence and wonderful luck, Taste of Amherst was going on. Tasty tasty.

More Birds




I fed this little guy some shortbread, and he still wouldn't pose for me...
