I've started this to be a photo journal of sorts while I'm in Paris this semester. I'll probably end up posting other things too, but I wanted a way to post some photos without putting them all up on facebook. I'm really trying to get back into photo this semester so I hope you'll all enjoy seeing them.
"In addition to never having seen a movie, she has never: eaten in a restaurant, traveled more than five miles from home, received or sent a telegram, read anything except funny papers and the Bible, worn cosmetics, cursed, wished someone harm, told a lie on purpose, let a hungry dog go hungry. Here are a few things she has done, does do: killed with a hoe the biggest rattlesnake ever seen in this country (sixteen rattles), dip snuff (secretly), tame hummingbirds (just try it) till they balance on her finger, tell ghost stories (we both believe in ghosts) so tingling they chill you in July, talk to herself, take walks in the rain, grow the prettiest japonicas in town, know the recipe for every sort of old-time Indian cure, inclusing a magical wart-remover."
