my story on i live here: sf

photo by julie michelle

check out my san francisco story & photos at i live here: sf. i am at the wave organ, which is called a 'wave activated acoutistic sculture' at the edge of san francisco, where you can watch the sailboats come around and the golden gate bridge is a beautiful backdrop.

julie michelle, a talented photographer and generous soul started this ongoing project: to photograph ordinary, everyday san franciscans in their favorite place. in return, the person would write their 'san francisco story' in any form they wanted. this is how the collaboration was born. i love the site for it's concept and the beautiful photography and i was really happy to participate in this project.

for those who live here and love san francisco, many of these places may be familiar to you, but even if you have never been to sf, you'll find so much beauty in the stories and photographs.

confession

i've been on a art break. as in not making art, not in my journal, not for trades and swaps and all that other stuff. i honestly didn't make it a conscious choice in the beginning, i had just finished my summer class and then i got hooked on a tv show called Veronica Mars. i borrowed the dvds from the library and had a marathon watching all three seasons. in truth, i was a couch potato.

i think i have been making art non-stop these past few years, with some little breaks in between. but consistently i would make something nearly everyday. sometimes, we all need a break from something.

i took a break and now i'm happily back to art making.
