I’ve always been interested in photography and have a real desire to get better at it… but… I just don’t think it’s gonna work out. The more I learn about serious photography the more turned off I get. Learning about f-stops and EVF and ISO got me like OMFG, WTF, L8R. Aperture, white balance, shutter […]

Updated: September 12th, 2018 As you can imagine, having been to Oktoberfest in Munich and various other German festivals here and there, I get asked one particular question over and over and that is: “What is that on your face?” After explaining that I’ve been eating Nutella-filled crêpes with the voracity of a hungry lioness, […]

Sometimes, especially if you’re a natural blonde like myself, you find yourself making dumb mistake after dumb mistake. I say dumb mistake because some mistakes are justified: thinking you can pull off bangs (Zooey Deschanel can; why can’t you!?); going over your credit card limit because JetBlue was having a two-for-one sale (robot voice: “I.
