Anne Lucas Di Elmo's photostream  

{film} Two weeks ago, I made some hazelnut chocolate spread for a crêpe party at our apartment. It was thick and delicious, and a perfect addition to a pound cake batter two nights later.

Today marks the three months I've been in this country. Some days, it feels like I've been here far longer, and others, I can remember as though it was yesterday the day I surprised Brent by arriving 2 days early.

{film} As the weather gets warmer, you'd think I'd be spending time outside, taking photos and walking around my new city. You'd be wrong, because I sprained my ankle last Thursday and made it worse on Monday afternoon. It's a little swollen and painful, so I'm staying home.

{film} This is snow falling. I bet you're jealous of how much snow we got. Sadly, I didn't take a photo that night and by the morning, it was all gone around here.

{film} Brent listening to an old demo of his on his 4-track.

{film} Family is my current favorite photography book, and I'm reading After Henry in the collected Joan Didion non-fiction books. I love that old vintage ashtray that Brent has had for a few years. The little notebooks on top of the pile of books is where I jot down ideas for photo sessions. My friend Marie brought it back from India last summer, and I'm so glad she thought of me.
