life lately

calivintage: eat

yesterday i meant to share a blog post, but you know? sometimes life happens. as was the case yesterday when i slept-in past my alarm clock, conveniently on a day that i was supposed to arrive to work early! i threw on a t-shirt and jeans (it was mandatory for a work-related event), pulled my hair into a ponytail, and managed to answer a few emails before making my way through rush hour traffic into the corporate lot where i park my car before heading into the office.

and this morning, when i was going through the photos i’d taken over the weekend, i realized that i only took photos of one outfit, but i had tons of photos of other things. i’ve noticed lately that i spend a lot more of my time behind the camera than in front of it, playing with the settings and trying to capture little bits and pieces of my life. these photos were taken after a trip to the farmer’s market that’s held every saturday a few blocks from my home filled with gourmet food trucks, organic fruits and veggies, and hand-crafted housewares. we picked up a few ingredients for an afternoon snack, a salad that i recreated off the menu at darwin cafe: fresh kale, radicchio, balsamic vinegar, lemon, parmesan, and little bits of prociutto. it sounds fancy, but it’s really just a simple salad.

    I really enjoyed this post! I totally know what you mean about wanting to be behind the camera sometimes. I’m getting more into photography lately, it’s nice to capture images that tell a little story. Your salad also looks delicious!

    Simple and beautiful — these things are not mutually exclusive, clearly. :)

    Life just gets in the way sometimes, but I always think that’s a good thing. Better to be distracted by real life x
