plan my next trip to Seattle

along with my home in San Francisco. And shooting weddings is what is bringing me down there. Recently I thought that I’d start trying to get weddings or work up in Seattle because that’s really where I’d like to be splitting my time with, but I had a tiny epiphany while walking through the woods with M. the other day. I’m going about it backwards; I need to plan the dates when I’m going first, and then figure out things that I can do while I’m up there; this way I arrive with a mission that I really want to have, rather than one that I “need” in order to go up there. I think I may try to get some of my work back into Blue Bottle or concoct other exciting plans, projects, and assignments for myself. Now we’re talking! If it’s no fun, it’s done!

Seattle, San Francisco, Kyoto

Sleeping bag on Erik’s floor (or a sleeping bag in a closety space like Captain Max Sterling)
Small apartment in Fairfax (in Marin Co.)
On my futon at the Uno House in that dirty little alley in Kyoto

These are all within my grasp. Utterly and totally.
Aren’t they Benny?
