Oakland / Redding (Whiskeytown National area), CA

// being hungry, no stops, odd settings, bbqs, friendly strangers, good musicians, heat heat heat, free food, comfy grass, sitting, stretching our limbs, dresses, impromptu lines of strangers forming in a backyard playing instruments singing to us, kickball, tradition, sunsets, observing, liquor in parks, dance parties, drooling over the golden light, smores, bonfires, camping, losing contact, two-story rocks in backyards, pasta, hedgehogs, porches draped in green plants, livin' the life, sleeping in the comfiest sleeping bag (ever), muggy tents, brittle roads

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)
