Puzzling.
Upon finishing your shower, you observe that your towel smells like a cookie. This is:
a) the kind of hallucination only women who watch soap operas have
b) a good time to wash your towels.
Portrait of a 14-year-old
I spend so much time of Flickr. It's a great source of inspiration and information. I was quite taken this evening with this person's photo stream. Her snapshots are so naive, and I found her discriptions especially poigniant. And there are few things more typical of American teenage girls than taking pictures of their feet. Ha, like I'm one to talk. (But in this case, point of view is everything.) I love thinking about why people decide to take certain photos, and post them, and what that says about who they are. That's why I love this girl's set of photos. They're so revelatory. Go check them out. Will you find them as interesting as I did? I had to look at every single one. People are amazing.
