Nicole got glow in the dark candy.

I'm not usually into awe-pretty-picture landscape photos, but autumn in the midwest is like Natalie Portman pretty. One, two, and three.

It's kind of hard to exactly explain the nature of Nicole and my relationship when no one else is around, but it involves activities like me encouraging her to do stuff like this so I can take pictures. Needless to say, things are pretty much perfect in our relationship.

I have this now. No apologies.

My beloved taco stand. I could literally live in this chair right here for my whole life and be happy. She would cook fresh tortillas for me every day (this is by far my favorite picture I've taken from the day, and probably the past few months...but I'm having black and white month).

Speaking of pictures I've taken in the past few months, I've been considering putting together a zine/site/collection of all the portraity shots of friends that I've taken with film (if you've hung out with me at all, you know I'm always good to stick a camera in your face, so I have tons of shots like that). I don't know if anyone would be interested in this at all other than me though since they're my friends. I think the people in the pictures might like to look at it too just to see themselves, but I don't know. In anycase, here are some more.

Doug.
Victor and Dave.
Danny.
Baby Mike.
Marshall.
Adam.
Lou Dobkins.
Russell.

Not really portraity, but Nicole found wild grapes and got super excited. She loves wild grapes like I love tacos.

So I've been (recently failing at) not eating meat for ten and a half months now. Generally I do a good job unless I'm traveling where there's special food I can't get locally, or if I'm with people and don't want to be a baby about only eating vegetables and tofu. It's become a weird OCD thing now where I feel like I'm cheating on my girlfriend if I eat meat...even though said girlfriend doesn't exist. Well, once a year I end up in a far away suburb for a weekend doing stuff with friends. Down the street, there's a super authentic Mexican grocery that cooks super authentic mexican food on flat top outside of the store. This is very much what I imagine heaven will smell like. That being said, I took a weekend get away from caring about my body and ate as much delicous grilled meat as I possibly could. I don't think I like any food in the whole world more than street-food tacos with corn tortillas, cilantro and onions. They also have a full bar of salsas and other toppings that I'm pretty sure are home made.

If you know the story behind this picture, it's pretty funny. If not, it's pretty lame.
