Pop-up book

Kind of looks like one of those pop-up books that you had when you were a kid...

Spring Fling

Telegraph Ave. (circa 2006)

I didn't snap a lot of photos while I was at Berkeley, which in retrospect is kind of too bad since Berkeley - as grunge as it is - lends itself to some nice shots. Funny how a lens can turn something so grimy into something so beautiful. Anyway, here are a few from my Berkeley archives...

Creations with seaweed

I didn't take this photo (that would be impossible, seeing as I am the little figure to the far left), but I like it. It reminds me of my childhood summers in Santa Barbara (although, this could just as easily be Mexico... either location is a safe bet for this period of my life). It makes me miss being a kid, when the most pressing concern in life was something as trivial as which size kelp would more easily tie around my pencil waist. I think the best photos are ones that invoke nostalgia, or remembrance for happy times.

Helllloooo, Spring!

NYC comes alive in the springtime...vendors in the streets, farmers markets and street fairs on nearly every block, piazza-like seating at restaurants. Happy Easter indeed!
