“Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, happens again, happens again.
It doesn’t necessarily happen in chronological order, though.” -
today i ate leftover spoils from my overindulgent korean bbq lunch on my way home from work, so that when i got home i felt so inspired that i went out and test my new lens, and then i just spent the last 45 minutes sprucing up my resume and finished a cover letter I started last week for another Digital Print Studio. Because that’s really what I want to do, I’ve realized, help make prints happen while making my own prints happens, too.
today was such a good day. now it is time to reward myself with oreos and Downton Abbey.
edit: please, excuse my lack of grammar. really, i’m sorry. i spent all my good grammar on my cover letter.

yayayyayaya i just got a new beautiful prime 28mm lens, which is a 44.8mm lens with my 7D’s 1.6 crop factor, which is just about my fav setting [just slightly wider angled than the “normal” 50mm] but the really beautiful part is that i can open my aperature all the way to 1.8 and take super soft portraits for people, because those are always the ones people want…and it’s good for low light sans flash, which is just what i need for my yoga shoot next sunday.
hurrahurrah, now all i need to do is pay for it. :( and also get a haircut, more like a trim, but i’m in major need of some deep conditioning and a pick-me-up.
sorry if this is a rambling mess.

i feel so simultaneously stuck and hopeful.
i just need a full-time position that i love and also make enough money to live and travel a little bit and enough time to enjoy time with people i like.is this too much to ask? apparently, yes, for the foreseeable future.

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”
Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.
“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”
The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
Galimberti said many of the subjects for the project were selected serendipitously, picked while he was working on a project about couch surfing that explored the global phenomenon of staying in other people’s houses. Since Galimberti never slept in hotels while working on the project, he was able to come into contact with people who introduced him to grandmothers in the area.
Galimberti acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.
