(your giving) keeps lifting me higher and higher

My friend Wynene and I took some photos for City Slicker Farm here in Oakland a few weeks ago. As usual,  I loaded my photos into my Flikr account and tagged them up and rubbed them down (oh noooo). They started tractioning emails and interest. You can find them here, on the Awesome Pickle and soon they will flood the East Bay in a CIty Slicker produced brochure.

Mutual giving: I get to practice taking photos & they get some visual imagery to load into their marketing arsenal.

I’m also in the midst of writing an article for Edible East Bay about food stamp gardens due at the end of May. So community gardens, giving, sharing and hard-working people are a common theme right now. A perfect beautious theme, if you ask me.

inapropes laughing

My friend Catie took me to hear an all-girl ukelele band at a Pi Party (3.14 ya hurd?!).

When they started playing Warrant’s “Cherry Pie” I laughed so hard I cried.
Amazing.
Thank you!

Playing on the Yellow Brick Road, part deux

Finding joy in obscure places amongst familar faces.
oh yellow brick road …

playing on the yellow brick road

At a landfill near my house, there is actual whimsical beauty to be found. A heart shaped castle, a yellow brick road, glittering mosaic tiles against concrete and gorgeous views of the San Francisco skyline.
A few friends and I dressed up to play outdoors one lovely afternoon under the winter sun.
Here are a few of my favorite portrait shots.
