Elise

Elise is my VERY HILARIOUS friend and something of a fixture on Halcyon Yeah. Here, here, and here for example.

Her new blog is called Alt-Agora. She has this great old Leica and her writing is funny. She's about to move to Los Angeles with her brad-pitt-look-alike-husband Tim. So that should be fun to watch.

Sunrise

The last week has been a blur. I'm moving out of my house and into a SUITCASE. It's a BIG WORK WEEK too. I've been falling into bed without dinner at 10! And I LOVE dinner!

These photos are from a dawn shoot on Kiawah last week. How about that sun, eh? It's like the Serengeti. And it really looked that orange when it was happening. I kept hearing that opening track of the Lion King. Because I'm a grown-up-child.

Evening

I had forgotten about grassy evening activities. The crickets come out, the sun is going down and it smells like cut grass. These boys played soccer and I read a book and took SO MANY PICTURES OF TUTTI. How cute is she with her little tutti tongue poking out!

Rooftop

Charleston is flirting with hurricane Isaac and has been halfway underwater for the last couple days. This morning I got up REALLY EARLY and went over to Ben's to drink coffee on the roof and watch the sky. I like when the city is dripping like this. It smells like a lake and makes for good deep sleep.

The Dredge

August has been intense. I feel like my whole life has taken a big right-angled turn. Our house in Charleston sold, my parents are moving out of my childhood home, my brother is joining the Coast Guard, Ben returned, and I got back to work.

The best thing about moving and changing is the mass purge you do on all your THINGS. I have so many things. It's lovely to let go... and then let go a bit more. I found this old photo of Ben and myself when I was organizing hard drives. I'll always have it.

Bull Street

Ben is back. He's staying at Tim and Elise's while they're in Los Angeles (looking for a new home!) 

We've been making quiet dinners together and seeing what's what. It's nice to be in this treehouse, hearing stories and hanging out with this snow white kitten. 

The Fuzzco Show

Helen and Josh are the parents of Fuzzco and some of Ben and my dearest friends. Almost a decade ago I visited their home office for help on a little project and now they are a successful firm of ten.

Saturday night we had a dinner date and took a walk to the NEW Fuzzco building. It's big and dusty and is about to drastically transform. I am disproportionately excited to watch all the work unfold.
