claire and I are on a mission this summer to jar, preserve, and pickle our way through the summer

the tomatoes are coming in gangbusters.
a whole month of sun is perfect and the little orange dudes I've taken to calling Hot Candy

we pickled some peppers last week, though they won't be ready for eating till october

this is one days' haul from the 4 plants in claire n mike's garden. I had to water it while housesitting so I feel like it's my garden. but it's not. just by proxy.

ah, the dreaded yet delightful Tomato Finger

and the winner of Most High Fashion Vegetable (Legume?) : immature scarlet runner beans! what beauts!

I need to get back in the darkroom. spend lots of time there. so busy, though, all I can do is upload the hi-res scans of my negs. soon enough there will be beautiful prints of this.

oh yeah, two new issues of my zine, Adventures in High Contrast Living, are now available. limited editions of 100.

Volume 27: First Time at the Rose Fest is self-explanatory, I hope.
Volume 28:Fabric of Summer is all pictures from Shanghai.

and thank you.

dear old friends came to visit!

we got wasted and made zines! it was so fun.

bernadette alternated between napping and collaging

they were group efforts -- nothing was sacred. later on we made little zines where you only had 1 minute to draw your page before you passed it on.

thanks, friends!
