Is It April Yet?

Is It April Yet?

This girl makes me very sad. She represents the future generation- illiterate, self important, an enormous sense of entitlement, rock bottom intelligence. Suddenly I welcome the end of the world in 2012.

going home

usually, I am in a hurry to go home. but not so today, I really wish I could stay longer. having all this time with Flo, and a little time with mom and dad, I realize how much I miss them and how much I miss by not being here. I loved all the laughs, loved joking around with them, loved getting them dressed up to take photos, loved being here for mom. I know how much she misses me, and it is so easy to just hug her and really love her. I am like her in so many ways, I like to think I understand her complexities.

flight

who doesn't dream of flight? i do, with all its various meanings and mechanics, physics and physicality.

i love water birds, particularly the long legged ones. i caught this one at Berkeley Marina, watched it in serene flight in the cool afternoon air and awkward backward knee gait in the water. of course, i wasn't the only one watching- you can see the legs of another bird watcher in the upper right hand corner.

coming and going

taken from the overpass to Berkeley Marina through a chicken wire fence. that's the weird shadow right in the middle of the photo.
Emery Bay Towers on the left, a commercial space on the bottom of high rise apartments. When I was working in Berkeley, I considered moving to this apartment building and going to school at Expression School of Digital Arts. But then I got transferred back into San Francisco, and in all honesty, the apartments in that building were really run down, cracks in the walls and foundation from earthquake activity, and the parking garage under the building smelled like pee.
On the right is the hotel circle of Emeryville, with chain sit down restaurants and access to the Eville and Berzerkely marinas. I didn't spend much time in the hotels, but I did spend my lunch breaks out by the water.
