Planning trips I cant afford. oversleeping. beautiful brains, walking barefoot. making lists. my pictures, the photography of Bruce Davidson, Irving Penn, Guy Bourdin, Nan Goldin, Todd Hido. meeting foreign people on trains/people on foreign trains. Sending mail + giving compliments. Shandy pints. Google Images. Klimt, Clemente, Schiele. Baking. Vintage fabric. Bus Rides. Giving/Receiving Hugs/Kisses. Making new friends in new countries. lemon-lime seltzer water. The smell of old photo albums, wiping off dust. Moldy books. Flannel, Caprese Salads in Italia! Fine wine, cheap cigarettes. always being behind the camera. Shaggy Hair. Boys who know the joys of a well cut suit.
