giv’em the karats, but save me the carrots

Is it wedding season or what!? This summer alone five couples I personally know (as in not my great-aunt's friend's son-in-law's nephew) are getting married! It really is stunning here in Vancouver at this moment though. The days are long, and tender foliage shimmers under the late afternoon sun, casting my studio in its bosky… Continue reading giv’em the karats, but save me the carrots

It's amazing how an actual attempt in putting your mind to something can make you realize how terrible you are at focusing. I am, by no means, one who is timid in enforcing self control.

But filtering is more than selectively publishing life… Continue reading Caught

Frites with Benefits

Life is a tuber slumbering. In woe with worms and woodbugs and warmth        just enough. Life is a tuber     growing      fat. Underground     blind   and  quiet hard.                       Life is a tuber humdrum,      … Continue reading Frites with Benefits
