Happy Summer!

Bryce & Dane, San Diego, Canon Digital Rebel Some great sites: – Threadbared This site is really, really funny. They find vintage sewing patterns and make fun of them.

above & beyond

above Oakland, Canon Digital Rebel As I flew away this weekend, I thought, ‘Holy shit. I did it. I submit my very first book proposal last week.’ This trip to San Diego was a celebration for myself.
