Gold schmold, brass is where its at for me at the moment. It’s light weight, neutral, and always gives the impression of having had it forever.

It seems that every time I go somewhere new I end up wanting to live there but this time I really mean it.

I would admire the boldness of his colors and the way his subjects subtly popped off [...]

Thought that by getting an iPhone I’d be posting more frequently but that has definitely not been the case. Along with preferring to blog from my laptop, I’ve been swamped at work and putting the finishing touches on ANAMU on the side.
I have however been able to do some fun travels: girls desert weekend for [...]
