One of my birthday goals is to take pictures in Detroit. Detroit is a fascinating place. And there is so much that is visually striking. You can really see the evidence of grandeur in its past. Being there in person makes you think, “What happened? ” and “How did this happen?” But the causes don’t… Continue reading Goal 33 * Take Pictures in Detroit

In an open letter to her paranoia,
“Okay, it’s time to stop bombarding me with all of the horrible things that one could easily do to me if they just swiped my glasses. The scenario is different each time, and just as scary as the last. Stop doing this to me.”
Lunch bags
