Washed Out

I don't usually like using the flash on my Minolta AF2 because it makes everything in the photo appear washed out. The above photo was taken on the way to eat some delicious Thai food on Larkin Street. Despite the fact that my face blends in with the white paneling on the house behind me, this is the last picture I have of myself before I chopped off all my mermaid hair and got my bangs re-trimmed. I have to say that having bangs again makes me feel more at ease because I can hide behind my fringe. I'm content at being the wallflower.

The above photos are from Halloween at my cousin's apartment. Their pumpkins were just too amazing not to capture. Their pumpkins (The Wicker Man and Scary Monster Face) are being displayed on this vintage tiki bar from the 1970's that my cousin's girlfriend dragged in from the street. Someone left this bar out after moving out of their building. Everytime I see the tiki bar, I think of her trying to drag this huge piece of furniture up the 3 or 4 flights of stairs up to their apartment on the top floor. That's dedication!

What are your plans for Thanksgiving? Z and I will be heading down to Southern California to help my mom and sister cook up a fest. We're trying to keep things fresh and healthy in honor of mom's recovery from cancer/chemo. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving with your friends and loved ones. Cheers!
