Hello, I'm Rachel.

I am 24 and I live in NYC, but I grew up chasing tumbleweeds and hornytoads in New Mexico. 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.

I also started a book club on Tumblr. Join up anytime.

And if you just want to say hi, please do. I write back.
