last night i went on a little ‘hike’ up runyon canyon with a friend.  it was just such a perfect night for a little walk as the sun dipped down below this fair city i live in.  as per usual, i had my camera with me and as per usual again, this proved to be a good decision.  i’ll have to wait to post the film shots i got, but for now i’ve got these phone shots.  let me explain.  so, we got to the top of the hill and there was this woman having her pictures shot for what i can only assume was some sort of album cover, and so naturally what was i to do but steal some for myself?  exactly.  do i know this woman?  no.  but i did what any photographer would do and i sneak attack shot her and came out with some pretty good gems.  thanks woman i don’t know.  i owe you one.

the fair city.. 

and it’s inhabitants..

all in all, it was a great night.  thanks life.  i love you.

i miss the weekend.  i miss the hearts.  those hearts.  i miss the laughing.  i miss the feeling of my skin fitting exactly right.  i miss the perfectness of being around dear friends and simply enjoying everything there is about this small little life we’ve been given.  and i’ve realized that i don’t have this kind of perfect friendship here in this sprawling city of mine.  at least to the same degree.  the kind where you feel completely at home with yourself, with the people around you, and everything is just.. right.  but maybe having this in spurts is better.  maybe it makes me appreciate it more deeply.  either way, it is glorious and i love it.

in other news i’m pretty sure i became a real smoker this weekend.  i bought my first pack of real cigarettes (not cloves).  it’s all over now.  but i’m not too mad about this.  i also have some great photos to get developed.  i can’t wait to see them.  there’s something in the stillness of remembering that a photo can bring.. slays me every time.  also, i was really reminded this weekend how hilarious timmy is.  i’m talking to the point of just giving up any and all comedic attempts when in his presence.  i love it.  i love him.  anyway, here’s a song that encompasses my day today.  time for a smoke break.
