This week, I'm thinking about photography. I was going to write something commemorating my 16-year-photo editing anniversary, but instead I've decided to give you a glimpse into the creative eye of a toddler. When Mamiche turned one (or maybe it was for her first Christmas?) she was given a very cute, functional digital camera. She loved it immediately. I finally decided to pull all the images off the mini SD card and sort through them. I deleted about 50 all black images and another large batch of images that were blocked by tiny fingers. There were A LOT of photos of her feet, many unflattering ones of all her grownups, I am not sure there was a single one that was in focus. 

Unfortunately, we didn't set the date and time (or we did and she undid it because she likes to mess with the settings). I could probably piece it all together, but who has time for that? (Probably me, the next time I am procrastinating something else I should be doing) 

Here is a selection, unedited: 

clockwise from top left: Stella and Woo Woo going for a ride, instruments,
mama trying to have breakfast, Fox Bear on a city bus. 

clockwise from top left: a messy kitchen, toes, Juju waves, animals butts

I am deeply sorry I can't share the selfies here, but I promise you, they are highly amusing (and also not in focus) 

​This week in reading. . .
Laserwriter II is such a perfect and strange book that I do not know how to describe. I loved it so much. It was sweet nerdy nostalgia and short, hyperspecific character studies, and weird little absurdist dialogue between inanimate objects. I just loved it. Tell Me Lies was a totally fine small town mystery/scandal combo. 

​This week in listening. . .
Isaac Fitzgerald on This is Good For You is exactly as perfect as I expected. 

Three of my absolute favorite people and former coworkers on The Grand Tourist.

​This week in TV. . .
Rewatched season 1 of Starstruck in advance of season 2 which lands today! I am so excited.
