the ginger envelope @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Sometimes the trouble is that none of the photos I took last night look remotely the way that Matt Stoessel’s soaring pedal steel sounds in a mostly-empty 506, or feels in that soft spot under my rib cage.

pattern #1, originally uploaded by minervacat. My July photo project is patterns. The best thing about being re-employment is that I’m looking forward to having a routine.
