black and whites




the simple truth is that I love black and whites. these days, when I start filling up a post with pictures, I realize that most of them are black and white. so. I just thought that I would get married to it (them? it or them? them or it? confused.) or something.
thank you all for your amazing comments on my last post. it was so encouraging to see that so many of you felt the same way and all of your comments encouraged me so much. I do love you all.

the house is quiet. which is strange. the mum and the dad have gone away for the weekend (anniversary dontcha know) and I'm cooking dinner for me and the brother. say what? yeah. I'm actually cooking. it's good for me to get outta my comfort zone. I don't like cooking any more than it does me, usually we just warily eye each other from each side of the kitchen. but today, today, my poor brother probably needs all the prayer he can get. ha.

but anyway. check out this lovely lady's blog. she done gone made one. finally. also, some feedback needed. are these pictures (the ones above) too big for all of your screens? aaaand, one more thing. I'm leaving in two and a half flippin weeks. sohappyandexcitedtoogoodtobetruemoment.
I have some guest posters lined up with some excitingly cool stuff for the first month/month and a half I'm away, and then hopefully I'll be back onto my regular posting after that. but, for the time I'm not posting, I'll be on twitter, for those of you who want to know what I'm getting myself into up to in new zealand. also, why does no one live in california??!!

love you all.
be good, tell me about your life lately, and don't worry, be happy.

    I love these shots, Jess, especially the last one. So beautiful! I usually keep my photos in color myself, but I have to admit there's a part of me that is endeared to black and whites. =)

    And no, your pictures aren't too big at all! I love big pictures on blogs. =)

    Have fun cooking! Maybe after this weekend, you and cooking will come to an understanding. ;)

    And for once... I wish I lived in California.

    I love that last photo...especially because it completely suited the music that I was listening to. In my mind I was there, and the two people were in the photo were dancing together, yeah, I undeniably have a strange imagination -always have, always will.

    Can't wait to see you guys.

    Have a nice time in New Zealand...my parents were just there for eight days and apparently it was really windy and wet and cold! :( But I have a feeling you'll enjoy it, whatever the weather!

    these are super sweet. just found your blog and I think I just might be falling in love. :D so, you like california, eh? well, should you ever find your self in my neck o' the woods {i.e. Central California} and if you like to meet complete strangers in a rural bit o' woods {actually, we only have oak trees, hence the name of our super small town}, we could meet up and take lots of photos of all the wineries 'round here. :D bottom line is, I'm a Californian girl. *smile*

    hope you have a wonderful trip!
