    Meditation Setup

    Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 My friend Gillian has been running a great series of meditation and reflection classes on Monday mornings and I’ve been joining in. At the conclusion of class this week I took a photo of what my messy setup looked like.

  • Light Breaking Through

    Light Breaking Through

    Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 Finally feels like we’re maybe turning a corner on the weather. We had some strong sunbeams breaking through, so I shot this from down the hall looking out to the balcony. 

  • Red Chucks

    Red Chucks

    Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 Because of a leg length discrepancy that causes me back pain, I wear shoes indoors pretty much always. These Chucks, which are now around 10 years old, have become my default ‘house shoes’ and work wonderfully for yoga and weight lifting.

    Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 It feels like the snow accumulation is never-ending and that it’ll never fully melt.

    Pączkis

    Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 At the start of Lent here in Chicago, people gorge themselves with traditional Polish doughn uts called Pączkis. We look forward to it every year and pick up a bunch from Dinkel’s Bakery on Lincoln Avenue.

  • The Snackpile

    The Snackpile

    Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 We can’t be the only people who have hoarded bags of snack foods into a section of their kitchen. With us making grocery trips so rarely we now seem to buy bags of anything we think we might want in the near-ish future and they exceed our general cabinet…

  • The Crave

    The Crave

    Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 For Valentine’s Day, Beth Ann wanted to eat White Castle and watch ‘Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.’ A good time was had and we were impressed how well the movie actually holds up. There is some light homophobia and misogyny, as you would expect from the time,…

  • Montrose

    Montrose

    Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 I know I’ve taken several shows of this particular area, but I had to run over to Lillstreet to pick something up and thought the snowy appearance looked remarkably pretty.

  • Living Room

    Living Room

    Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 I devoted the better part of the day deep cleaning the living room. I mopped, moved furniture, ran the Roomba, and then did another pass just vacuuming the rug. Not very exciting lives we’re living these days but there is something really calming about a neat room.
