* I took these photos back in January. I really love them but I waited to post them until a day like today.
Yesterday a guy came into my coffee shop reading a book by Dave Eggers. We talked and talked and i told him that Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius was on my book list but that i already connected with the title so much that i was afraid the book would let me down.

I think I must hear about this mystery man...
ReplyDeleteOh you have to read it! Heartbreaking work of a staggering genius is one of my all time favorite books. I think you will love it. The butterfly pictures are so beautiful. What kind of camera and film do you use? I have 2 really old canons and I love them.. and a Diana camera (which is basically a Holga). You would love a Holga, and the unpredictable, dreamy pictures it produces!
