empty space.

I like to run my fingers along the callouses on your hands. 
I like to feel your grip on my skin.

Burlap and wild flowers.

It's the moleskin and the drafting pen.

front cafe.

Don't know what to do Sunday morning? Grab a coffee. Want to relax after work? Let's go for drip. Got problems? Coffee.

For me it's comforting and the experience is more about my association with Sundays, warm beds, and relaxation, than the caffeine buzz that comes with it.

Front Cafe is a tiny spot in Potrero operated out of a former industrial loading dock. (My kind of space. My kind of windows.) It's a short bus ride away to a kind of peace that's a little softer and a little quieter than the norm.

I love flowers. But flowers in mason jars? Take me to heaven.

Kudos to Maria for pulling off this furry coat with style and poise.

challah.

I love brunch. Specifically, I love waking up late and popping the yolk of an over easy. Cardigans and strong coffee are a plus. Going over to Sean's is the best because his apartment gets gorgeous light and there's food.

There are jars and spices hiding behind the makeshift curtain.

My favorite part of this is the red onion.

 

Tension in the heavy cream. 

Challah is the best for french toast. So soft.

I'm not big on champagne, but I'll drink it on special occasions and when it's served in mason jars.

A crane. He wants to get it colored in, but I like it this way.

oakland living.

My good friend Sean recently moved to Oakland and invited me over to check out the new place and browse the farmer's market. I die a little bit on the inside every time I think about how nice his apartment is and how cheap the rent is.

The dog belongs to the bookstore.

Organic tomfoolery! They fool me into buying expensive vegetables all the time.

I kept hovering around to get my shot. He was flattered.

They wheel the barista counter around behind a bicycle!

After stuffing my face at brunch, we went back to eat fruit and hang out with the cats. I come out of the bathroom and find this kitty posing perfectly next to my mocs. This is now absolutely one of my favorite photos (+this one). Thank god I left the socks there.

In the morning, the living room gets so much sunlight. It makes me jealous and lazy at the same time.

So it looks cool, but when you think of how much money you'd have to spend on getting film for these cameras, you'd say "no go" too.

He trims the stems and then soaks the bulbs in a little water in these mason jars to keep them fresh. 

Nice glasses.

Photographer at work. That's a film Hasselblad he's using.

the general store.

Hipsters and succulent plants, two of my favorite things. Just perusing with my Saturday coffee on one of those glorious San Francisco weekends.

I really should've taken the coffee cup out of this photo. My name isn't even spelled right.
