Everyday Beauty (January ’15 edition)

“The wonder of life is often most easily recognizable through habits and routines.” – Anne Lamott

These days I’m more inspired by everyday moments with friends and loved ones than I am by grandiose landscapes and exotic places. I don’t know if it’s the Leica that I’m shooting with now or because my perspective is changing but I’m discovering visual narratives during routine Sunday dinners and weekly get togethers with friends that feel more personally relevant than faraway tourist destinations. Here are my faves from January.

My little cheetah asleep on my lap during a weekly family dinner. I think this is my favorite photograph of all time.


Our friend Lucila visiting from Argentina, at H&D’s house. ‘Twas an evening of food, whiskey and playstation motion games.


We celebrated dad’s birthday with a night of bowling and pub food. I love the glow of the candlelight on his face.


Birthday brunch for German, pulled off on a Monday (MLK Day)!


Squishy face!


Aftermath of German’s 3rd and last birthday party of the month.


Finished at 4am. Not bad, not bad!
