Everything is so wonderful at Evergreen, even the trees smile. There are little shrines and art installations and general creations all over the place if you know how to look for them.

I miss the mud freezing between my toes in the backyard, early morning harvesting rosemary for scrambled eggs. I miss Oly so much sometimes I want to cry, but when I lived there I certainly cried missing the skyscrapers that tower over me in New York now. It seems as if I am always living in a place I love, and missing another.
Today I assisted on a shoot in a penthouse apartment belonging to the widow of a CEO of a big name company (I signed a lot forms adding up to I can’t tell you who), and during a lull, staring at a table literally worth one million dollars, all I could think was how many starving kids could this feed? How much AZT is this worth? How many Measels vaccines? How long could a village in Africa live off of one million dollars?
Wouldn’t it be beautiful if anyone who made over a certain amount per year, or was worth a certain amount was forced to give away a percentage of it to a legitimate charity? I realize there are a lot of wealthy people doing a lot of good but whenever I stand in a really opulent residence it doesn’t matter if the owner is a philanthropist, I can’t help but think they could be giving more. I’m not saying no luxury, don’t get me wrong, I like nice dinners and new dresses, but there’s just no way I can justify a several hundred thousand dollar set of china plates. How can our culture really think that sort of excess and selfishness is classy?

A local Olympia nectarine on my cutting board out in the sun. I miss the simple delights in Washington, like fresh soft sun warmed fruit.
