Highway 1 / Big Sur / S.F

// 1/101 highway up the coast, busy city, bikes, geometric, lunch in a spanish cafe, meeting e-friends, cool stickers, dark rides through windy roads, noticing the weather change as we went farther up mountains, holding my breath, the ocean looking like a dark abyss, weaving through mountains, watching the light filter through the trees, isolation, indescribable, staring at the redwoods out the window, feeling so good in the mountains, library in the woods, letting my eyes linger, camping up in the mountains, teeth-brushing over drops of land, morning hike with the girls, feeling surreal, weird but amazingly beautiful pit stop towns on the coast, blankets upon blankets of stars, constant roll, feasts for my eyes, uncomfortable but happy, big cities, yay!

Los Angeles, CA

(day 5 of 5 states in 5 days was Tucson, but the visit was arrive, play, sleep, leave so i didn't have time to shoot any film - digital images will follow in later blog posts)

// all sorts of wonderful animals, blue day rooms, sleeping in beds, nap tents, street-long garage sales, wandering around, hookah in a hardwood floor tent, helpful strangers, fast city with day dreamers on the outskirts in the hills, fighting sleep, Homesick Elephant, dragging ourselves to the top of a valley and watching the sun rise in awe, sing-alongs, being tired and cold but feeling so damn good,  long talks, gold light, thrift store hunting, important moments, relaxing, instruments, music talk, delicious food.

*The night we played a show, I left my camera bag (containing all of my cameras) at the bar we played at. By the time I realized it, the bar had already closed. Sara sent out a few emails and worked her magic, the next day i was able to pick up my bag (untouched) at a lovely cafe down the street from the bar. I was so damn lucky and everyone was so helpful and kind.


at the little place Kevin took us to for lunch (so good)

there are a lot of digital images from L.A that I will post later on.
