down in the capery.

i've got a plan, i'm gonna find you at the end of the world.

when catastrophe strikes, the natural inclination is to hold on to those you love, to support one another and shore up the worn patches until the storm subsides.

so what do you do when the support you need most is the catastrophe itself?

heyguesswhat!

i've got a mini photo exhibit in the pipeline--i'll be showing some stuff at naidre's cafe in park slope, starting tonight, going for about a month.

come on down if you're in the neighborhood!

what photographers do when they're bored and alone at work. and have a new haircut.

resolutions. or maybe just resolve.

it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. and now it's over. goodbye, 2007, hello 2008! may the eight at your tail bode a better year around here!

in 2008, i resolve to:

- do less stupid shit. seriously. (or, rather, behave less idiotically)
- do more fun stuff. preferably with camera in hand.
- take a trip somewhere fun. perhaps beijing, or new zealand. or france.
- play out (i know, every year i threaten.)
- exhibit my photos.
- take a class, ideally in typography or lighting.
- brush up my french. start learning mandarin.
- beat this year's tally of 42 new books (and something like thirty old favorites) read
- sleep more. drink less better quality liquor.
- master the art of poaching fish.
- take a stab at coq au vin and cassoulet.
- sing more, just generally.
- be happy. worry less. smile more. love.
- be kinder to myself. be kinder to others.
- forgive. myself and anyone else who needs it.
- incorporate more glitter into my lifestyle.

i think that's enough to get me started, don't you? or do you have a suggestion or two?

update: oh, and also: be more patient! which probably should have topped the list, as there is little in my life that causes more problems than my tendency to rush rush rush.
