chicago

a friend and i hitch hiked from grand rapids to chicago earlier this week, giving each of our 7 rides a polaroid on the way, and one to our friends who gave us a place to rest our heads. once in the city, i posted these:

its been a while since ive carried polaroids with me, or even created them for that matter. but the journey begins again as i venture to chicago... one of my favorite cities. updates to come friday.

hope is in a day spent wandering the city with my relatives who unexpectedly came from out of town.

oakland saturday market

today biking in the heat of the midday sun gave me hope.
then walking down the produce isle of the air conditioned grocery store, with its grids of natural color, gave me hope.
later finding the first, small, still very green tomato in my garden.
that really gave me hope.
