You and Me Chasing Paper

"I think photography is editing, start to finish- editing life, selecting part of it to stand for the whole." --Robert Adams



All photographs and recipes featured here are mine. However, I do have another blog of photography I'm inspired by: theeyecollects.tumblr.com

Coffee; filter

I peer from the door and walk into the smell of burnt coffee and your potent gaze. We talk about milk brands and your dirty fingernails. With my cup, I withdraw; kindly.

My swirling wants,a self portrait

Golden Hill, San Diego, California: 10 July 2012


A Valediction Forbidding Mourning
Adrienne Rich, 1971


[…]
A last attempt: the language is a dialect called metaphor.
These images go unglossed: hair, glacier, flashlight.
When I think of a landscape I am thinking of a time.
When I talk of taking a trip I mean forever.
I could say: those mountains have a meaning
but further than that I could not say.

To do something very common, in my own way.
