so, recently, jeff luker's photography has had an impact on me. i think it's one of those things i was talking about just the other day, how nowadays there is some sort of reaction against how the digital era has created these "perfect" images. where's the human in the people?

i still adore fresh bokeh, as trite as bokeh has gotten to be. but i've always searched for the moment that makes us intensely human, and inherently vulnerable.

maybe because that's the place i've always been.

here are some from last weekend. at a very interesting wedding. i was wearing a hawaiian dress and a lei while taking these.
