Friday Photo: Big City
A busy subway station filled with improv music and a man dressed in a pink shirt and loafers dancing just because he feels like it. Ambulance and police car sirens as a constant drone. A riverside path that makes Saturday morning feel almost tropical.
Turns out the Midwest is more fun to explore than I thought.
Friday Photo: San Francisco Bay
A little summer hiatus from Friday Photo is now over.
Somehow I managed to score a San Francisco weekend with sun, blue skies and no fog not so long ago. Love this city.
Weekend Refresh: 23 Feet, Outdoor Slumber Parties and Home
Sometimes you need to hit the refresh button. And so you plan a city escape.
A personal screening of 23 Feet is certainly something to be thankful for, and somehow I conned the Red Reel ladies into bringing the Airstream out to my parents’s house out in the wild hinterlands of Western Washington. That’s what I call love.
Pop up a screen, turn on the Christmas lights and lay out some blankets on the hill and you’ve got yourself an outdoor theatre.
Love From Sweden: Lös Godis
Lös godis: very much my one true love. Imagine this: an entire wall covered in all kinds of candy, from salted licorice to chocolate covered rum balls, all to be carefully selected and placed in a colorful bag.
Weigh it at the checkout, raise your eyebrows when you realize how much was actually in that bag, and then smirk internally when you say to yourself, “who cares, it’s Saturday!” Then take it all home and pour the lös godis into a bowl where — for maybe for a few seconds — you enjoy the multicolored glory. But soon it’s all consumed, an empty, wrinkled bag with a fine layer of sugar your only remnants.
Love From Sweden: an ongoing travel photo series to capture the essence of Sweden.
Friday Photo: Dandelions
On the stretch from Telluride to Dolores, Colorado. A beautiful field filled with yellow, perfect for a few photo opps.
A Taste of Santa Fe
Two days, three tacos, two enchiladas, five mentions of frito pies, four milagros, numerous iced coffees: Santa Fe.
Red adobe buildings, striking against the blue sky. Bright flowers paired with dusty streets. Tacos covered with pumpkin seed pesto. An eclectic mix of new and old. Colors everywhere: red ristras hanging on balconies, stacks of turquoise and yellow striped blankets, a bright blue canopy to provide shade in the heat of the day. An ongoing visual flurry, all under the Southwest sun.
Friday Photo: Canyon Love
A decade ago, I spent an entire month in the backcountry. I refused to go to sleep before seeing a shooting star.
Last weekend I was reminded of that time. There were no shooting stars, but the moon was bright, the night was clear and the red rock perfect for sleeping on.
Friday Photo: San Francisco Streets
One of my favorite cities. With a bike-friendly street fully marked. Love.
Bike Graffiti
A cold winter day. An escape to a bigger city. A friendly reminder of what transportation I should have taken, or wished I could have taken.
I start to dream. Of adventures and excursions one could take on two wheels. The places that could be explored. The miles that could be covered.
The ferry bell rings. Passengers scurry back to their cars. If only we were all on bikes.
