in a perfect world i'd be stumbling out of the guadalajara bus station, finding my driver, and on my way to amacueca. stopping at every light to buy another bag of fresh sugar cane and limes. 

but, as fate has it, i'm still in the u.s., wishing i could get my hands on some sugar cane.... and convinced that there is a very good reason as to why this trip didn't work out, for the second time. everything has a reason behind it, even if it's the simplest of things. so i'll just reminisces a little...

 hang out on the roof for the hours with this dude.

 walk to and stroll through the cemetery to remember our families.

 hang out in sayula. 

soak up every bit of sunlight and warmth

and spending the late, late evenings getting lost in the stars and the charm of this unpolluted town.

today's my friday. praise the lord. i have so much to do. i'm just gonna daydream for the next ten hours.

maps. yum.

so, our trip to amacueca is postponed until may. which i am absolutely devastated that i won't be soaking up the glorious sun in two weeks, but may isn't that far away....  so i got to thinking about where we could go instead

which just got me thinking about other trips i'd like to take around the country... and into other countries

and maybe i got carried away just a little bit... but if i had endless resources, i think driving all the way to the south west coast and driving up to alaska would be incredible. 

that is all - more artwork is coming... soon. i've been sick this week... and work is, well, work.  you know that it's always tough to get back into the swing of things after a holiday (all of them). 

keep reading, keep enjoying life,

halloween weekend

it happens the same every year. i have brilliant ideas in march, july and august, but when the actual day comes around i get so flustered and annoyed that i totally give up my genius costumes. no different than this year, halloween is coming, fast, and i've forgotten all my great ideas. i'm sure that in march i knew exactly what i was going to be, and now, i only have a slight idea. suggestions? suggestions? clever. funny. not something to be made fun of. i hate having to think about this. but on the brighter side:

i'm pretty sure i'm going to document everything - first with our flip, then with my pentax, maybe some other old film too. eeeep! exciting, right?! let's just hope i'm surrounded by hundreds of people in incredible costumes.

i hope you've found yours (if you celebrate halloween by dressing up), and if you're not into that, i hope that you have a wonderful weekend filled with good friends and family.

love,

- k.

listening to some beautiful fall music today - including Andrew Bird & The Avett Brothers.

ps. that photo up there, was taken in a graveyard in Amacueca, Jalisco, Mexico (not my proudest moment as a photographer, but i still love it there).

pps. my dear friend KB's birthday was this week - just a little love sent to her - and her work is lovely.
