boyfriend jeans and Dizzy’s Gillespie’s trumpet
Dizzy Gillespie said ‘that trumpet is lying in the case every day, waiting for me.‘ My polaroid camera is lying in my satchel every day, waiting for me:)
This weekend I said yes to a glass of wine on the roof (watching the sunset vaporize into twinkling constellations listening to music), to purchasing a pair of boyfriend jeans for twenty dollars that I swear are the ugliest jeans I have ever worn and the most comfortable which means I will be wearing them all the time, to also purchasing jade nail polish because i am in a very girly mood lately and have a wonderful art opening to attend on St. Patricks day to thinking a lot about Irving Penn’s northern light and dirty windows and Dizzy Gillespie’s trumpet, to leaving lots of room for the imagination, and realizing I take pictures and write but am not a photographer and a writer…I just ‘am.’
Today I am quite grumpy with a lot of work I have to delve into and need to find my mojo when i would rather be packpacking around the world. Fancy that. Well, at least I have summer’s freckles to look forward to. And cherry blossoms are announcing themselves most everywhere these days so who am I to complain really?

“i just ‘am’” seems to be the best way to be i think … i heart that little movie with that oh so familiar happy sound of the sx-70, wonderful music with the ocean dance … xoxox

Okay, now I kinda wanna dance around to something, but I will wait until I am wearing pajama bottoms so I can move like I know what I am doing. teeheeee Just the idea of cherry blossoms and mojo, even lost mojo (cause it will be found) make me happy.

Oh my goodness. I watched this like 5 times and can’t get enough….I can’t paint anything – only with my camera
I loved everything, the paintings, how beautifully the paint flowed on that white painting on the window, her fabulous shirt (did you notice that green!). Thank you for posting that.

You are cracking me up. Ugly boyfriend jeans that you’ll wear for comfort. I love that about you! Of course, I’ve never seen you wearing anything that you don’t look wonderful in.
