pick-ups

~"It is a privilege to see so much confusion." -Marianne Moore because, today, i happen to agree so i'm going out into the city to photograph some confusion.

~"Running Down a Dream" by Tom Petty because it got my flabby body outta bed this morning.  thanks, Tom!

~There Will Be Blood, because i'd share a milkshake with Daniel Plainview and take notes. 

there's this thing i haven't done in a while.  i call it "pick-ups"-  essentially, you walk around your town or neighborhood and just find stuff to appreciate.  when i lived in Bland Diego i took my polaroid with me everywhere, resulting in about 200 or so snapshots of awesome, weird, sad, stunning stuff. i like the polaroid format for this especially because each shot looks like a still from a 1970s documentary.  digital's great, don't get me wrong.  but i'm a gal who still uses a #2 Ticonderoga for everything.  if i come back with anything extraordinary, i'll share.

thanks for playing.  fin.
