And so when a woman is sexually assaulted—no matter what she’s doing—it’s easy for the culture at large to insist that she’s done something out of the ordinary to bring it upon herself. Because women’s lives are out of the “ordinary.”
I woke up to memories of you again today, on cold beaches and in a Disney gazebo, in kitchens and on couches, sharing laughter and stories, silly faces and serious revelations, of mutual fears and hopeful dreams. Of course it only made me miss you more,

Kacie flew in from Philadelphia yesterday, visiting for the next three weeks or until we’re tired of each other. I’m surprised at how nice it is to have a roommate, and I’m not the kind of person who lives with others well. She’s
Today Kacie and I spent three hours shooting in a friend’s house that hasn’t been remodeled since the sixties. I promised we’d finish quickly so he reluctantly left and told us he’d be back soon. We shot seven outfits in four rooms
After a weird afternoon of being treated rudely at Costume Capers, I took Kacie on a whirlwind tour of the central coast beaches in hopes of igniting a fire of inspiration in her for future shoots. Winding through the Eucalyptus trees of Hwy 1, we finally
As Kacie dances around my living room in excited preparation for going to the bar, I feel compelled to post at least one photo from today. We went to a winery to bask in the sun, wind, and tall grasses, taking almost a thousand images while stopping for
It was a calm, lazy day, the kind that I have not experienced in a while. Laura came over, then she, Kacie and I went to the park to bask in the sun and watch young Mexican boys fly kites. A nice interlude to a long, yet productive week.
For as tough and outspoken with profanities as Kacie can be, her vulnerability is something she just can’t seem to hide. Her confiding in me over the last week has helped me to capture her on camera more fully, as has happened many times in the
Getting four hours sleep only exacerbated my screwed up schedule because of the time change today. I dragged ass at work until it was time to come home, grab Kacie, and head out to Pismo Beach for an hour of picture taking. Thankfully the shoot was almost
Just another shot of Kacie from the winery. We just spent an hour on my computer editing out the best shots of the thousand or so we shot that day. This one was one of the lucky fifty to make the cut. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Also, please feel
After about an hour of her caffeine-induced barrage of verbal self-analysis, I finally looked up from the computer and shot her a look. She stopped mid-sentence: “What? Do you think I’m neurotic? Is this what neurotic is?” Without saying
We just spent the last two and a half hours editing fifteen hundred photos down to the best hundred or so. Here is one of a triptych that we almost came to blows sorting through. I hope people love these photos as much as Kacie and I do. Also, please
Jenna has lost a lot of weight in the past few weeks, precious pounds she couldn’t really afford to lose. She’s still positive and silly, trying to be as energetic as possible. On Sunday we went for a little drive, meandering through the back
@katiewest I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but Katie West is a bit of a gangsta. Yeah. Bring it, yo.
Jenna has wanted to model for a Twiggy-inspired shoot for a very long time. As has often happened, a model approaches me with an idea that I’m not crazy about, but in the desire to please her I become obsessed with getting it right. Kacie did a
