summertime

hey dudes. i just felt so moved to do a post regarding summertime one [or a couple] last time. summer in LA is pretty subjective, because the weather is nice every STINKING day here and it is sunny 24-7. as i write this post, i am sitting in my breakfast nook with the window open, light streaming in with my lovely french press. ahhh. life is good, but its also the little things. for sure. do you make sure you take a step back and just WITNESS your surrounding, the sights, the sounds, the smells? even if you aren't somewhere completely glorious? its about perspective, people, perspective and attitude. what do you guys do to appreciate where you're at, even if its not like living on a balcony overlooking the french riviera with your yacht and your tanned husband bringing you fresh flowers every morning?

anywayssss--- here are some recent shots that i got developed from my vivitar 35mm [aka trusty companion]. we went to minneapolis/st. paul to visit my brother's family and our extended family. my parents were able to make it over from israel, my sister from brooklyn and us from LA. it wouldn't be an extremie tradition without all my lovely friends coming to visit me from all over the world/country. casey was here earlier this summer and for those that don't know, he's like my 3rd brother. so there will be some shots of him in here too. and of course, my lovely friends elise and rollie got married.

how was your summer? don't you feel fall in the air? its is kinda exciting and also kinda sad. i gotta hit up the beach a couple more times before it is officially fall here in socal.
