I am 25 and I live in NYC, but I grew up chasing tumbleweeds and hornytoads in New Mexico. I write things for a living, for now. I like the arts, photographs, old movies, the web, and the city, and tend to wonder how each influences the other. I thought this might be a good place to collect a few of the million images, sounds and ideas I get distracted by every day--sentimental though they may be. Welcome to my corner.
And if you just want to say hi, please do. I write back.

In addition to being a pretty damn awesome photographer, Cara also mans Ground Glass, one of the simplest, most beautiful blogs about picturemaking on the webs. I love this series she did on plastic surgery machines—she makes them all look really kitschy and like advertisements for 50s housewives; because that’s the glossy, fetishistic mentality that creates these things as it is.
