Vegan on the Jersey Shore, Part 3: Seaside Heights
When I spoke of my childhood memories of the Jersey Shore I was remembering our visits to Seaside Heights, an amusement-filled length of boardwalk that stretches into the Atlantic ocean. I hadn’t been there since I was a little girl and was happy to see that the place still had Carny spirit, a palpable energy of [...]

Little delicate weeds get no love. They look like shy, optimistic chit-chatters. “Hey! Hey you! Look how bright and pretty we are!” Holy stigma. “Hi. We’re less enthusiastic than the red ones. Notice us if you wish–or not; we’ll be fine either way.” “Mnmm mnnmmm.” So Delicious Turtle Trails… and I quote, “A gooey non-dairy [...]

Besides the 100+ pictures of warranty [...]
Hello, Winter Torpor
They don’t love you like I love you. I’d be riding horses if they let me. Sleep. Tapestry. Books. Got more records than the KGB.
Stunning Guanajuato
Guanajuato, which is right smack dab in the center of Mexico, is known for its beautiful bastillicas, brightly colored dwellings stacked into its surrounding mountains and its festive celebrating of Dia de los Muertos, the reason for our visit. One of Mexico’s oldest cities, it is steeped in history, brimming with Spanish influence and is [...]
These Are A Few of My Favorite Things: Taking Pictures
Ever since I got my first Le Click camera as a lil’ bambino I have loved taking pictures. I have albums documenting my life, its inhabitants and biomes, since elementary school. I have several theories about why that I’m sure you’ll find cogent had I the energy to explain. But it’s mostly that I think [...]
