a typical morning

coffee, a magazine and my favourite breakfast: rolled oats with almonds, walnuts, a dab of organic honey & whatever fresh food is available (raspberries in this case), mixed with greek yoghurt.

lately

been a little quiet on here but it's not because i haven't been doing anything - on the contrary, i've been quite busy with friends and photography, mostly. i also update my flickr, tumblr and cargo collective on a regular basis, so not everything i create ends up on here. 

i'm really looking forward to NYC, though i doubt i will be able to fit all the camera equipment i want to bring in a suitcase (if i plan to change my clothes at all), including my new macbook which i'll probably leave at home. 

that said, here are some shots that sum up the past few weeks. 

i have yet to find out what it is exactly that i want to do with my life from here on out. i graduate from uni in october (hopefully, ...) and i know where i'll live and with whom and where my friends will be but i don't know what i will be. i will photograph and i will write, for one thing. i can never stop doing that.

i will also continue to miss the friends who live far away, enjoy the company of those who live near, travel & be creative with my boyfriend and try to outsmart my cat who is turning out to be a complete maniac (though a cute one).

recently

some updates in pictures. i'm still getting used to not having anything to do for at least a week (!) after handing in my thesis and before tackling the load of studying for my last exam ever. d and i have been planning our two-week trip to new york which includes two airbnb stays, a road trip to philadelphia, washington d.c. and wherever else we desire to go. i like having the freedom to go on spontaneous adventures without planning every minute detail of a trip. that and we're mad road trip fans as it is. 

i gifted myself this t by alexander wang dress. it's amazingly comfortable and perfect to wear on a late summer day.

 

if you're ever in the mood for a skin-friendly light summer salad, try this recipe. i made it with arugula & eggplant instead of spinach and zucchini and also added some cucumber. also try joan didion's 'play it as it lays' if you want a good read and can handle the depressing feel that will accompany you throughout the entire novel. i'm not sure i can but i am undoubtedly addicted to didion, i'm currently in the process of reading everything ever written by her.

my trusty yashica who now mostly serves as a prop for photos and miranda july's it chooses you. i admire her eloquence and creativity and me and you and everyone we know may be condemned by some as too 'artsy' and therefore bad, but i love it. i like the way she puts things into words and i like the way she transmits words via images. i like the way she thinks, i like how she does exactly what she wants.

we've been having friends over. we've been enjoying summer even if we are busier than ever. i like it when friends bring wine. i like plums. shooting indoors has become harder because my cat tends to interfere, but you know, he gets away with it because he's just too damn cute.
