This photo seemed to capture a feeling I have sometimes, a sort of quiet loneliness. At the time I took this photo my favorite movie was The Art of Getting By, so I was listening to the song Winter Lady by Lady Cohen, a rather melancholy song, and Broken Bells for much of the trip.
Not a particularly impressive photo but I love the pop of color from the greenery and the cabs against the washed stone here.
I did a really cool wooden block print with hot wax of this beautiful old church we drove past on my spring break abroad trip to Tahiti in high school. The highlight of this trip, aside from the delicious food (pain coco, fresh papaya with lime, and poisson cru), was the fact that there was a tsunami warning while we were there.
Me and my freshman year roommate were staying with the same host family. They came into our room in the middle of the night and woke us up to let us know that Emily’s mom had called them concerned because of the warning. I was groggy but I had my priorities straight. I announced that my shorts were hang drying on the clothes line outside, shrugged, then promptly fell back asleep.
In a close second, was when I forced Emily to apply aloe (very delicately) all over my naked body while I stood in front of a fan because I had 2nd degree sunburns on 80% of my body from snorkeling without sunscreen.
Third place goes to swimming with and feeding sharks and rays while I was on my period. The rays were hilarious. Their mouths are on their bottom side, so when they present their mouth for food it’s like they a flapping trying to hug you.
