today my skin cells were jumping for joy! after going grocery shopping i hoped in my car to head home. i put Don Cavalli in my cd player and needed to just go for a ride. my fruit was rolling around in the back but i didn't care. the sun was in my eyes and i loved every second of it.
in florida the sun never phased me. i didn't know that it was always around. i wonder why i moved to the cold city of chicago, but now i believe i can enjoy the sun more than i ever did before.
dear summer, please dont wait too long to get here. thanks, sydney
p.s. check out don cavalli's music.. [this french guy has a very inspiring story, went from janitor to a well respected musician in france]
this video is from when he performed at an art gallery in france
c-print made from expired paper. too bad i'll never be able to print on this paper again. unless i wait 5 years for mine to expire. i love the pastel colors- the actual print is pretty beatiful : )

west coast= beautiful. never seen anything like it. portland & seattle
just as cool as chicago and i want to maybe move there for a year or an unplanned amount of time. the art scene is pretty happenin. seattle is unreal since the city is practically in the water! too bad the weather if kinda iffy most of the time. portland reminds me of a mini chicago. the people there are a lot more friendly though. in addition to that...
utah & arizona
blew me away. since its a place i never considered going and was one of my favorite out of them all. orange canyons, vibrant blue sky & dynamic white clouds.. sunrises and sunsets were so amazing. i kept thinking someone was going to pull up the backdrop. it was unreal. native americans are beautiful people. too bad we only give them small portions of land to live on. its not like they were here first or anything...
montana & idaho
the land is so delicate looking... but the people there are definitely not. most extremely over-weight. signature amerricka white trash. didn't see too many blacks in this state. probably because its over populated with close minded rednecks. im not trying to stereotype and hate on everyone but i guess its just not my style of living. i need more culture in my life. population: [montana] White: 817,229 (90.6%); Black: 2,692 (0.3%); American Indian: 56,068 (6.2%); Asian: 4,691 (0.5%); Other race: 5,315 (0.6%); Two or more races: 15,730 (1.7%); Hispanic/Latino: 18,081 (2.0%). [idaho] White: 1,177,304 (91.0%); Black: 5,456 (0.4%); American Indian: 17,645 (1.4%); Asian: 11,889 (0.9%); Other race: 54,742 (4.2%); Two or more races: 25,609 (2.0%); Hispanic/Latino: 101,690 (7.9%) the land is rad and i would love to live in the mountains.. but i think id bring some friends with me..
california redwood forests, mountains and the pacific ocean. theres not much more you could ask for. surfer dudes, park rangers and tourists with nerdy uncool camera bags :) getting my nose pierced in cali only cost me 30 dolla bills.
