South San Jose at sunrise, September 2009.

Making me smile right now; photographs, mi familia, work, meeting new people, bartering over old cameras that I’m not even sure work, long car rides & holding hands with intertwined fingers, ridiculous &/or insightful fortune cookies, letting go of my little demons & encouraging them to play elsewhere, pink frosted cookies, laughter laughter laughter, girl talk, big plans, taking chances, wanting but not needing, maps of California, & long naps in leggings & my husband’s socks.
