Let's Go Away For A While

Just off to London for a bit with my dear Motek. Upon arrival we roamed around Hackney where I had a great welcome coffee and toast snack with goat curd and honey. We went to the Hackney Fields farms where we hung out with some donkeys and some hogs. The kiddies enjoying the animals were a little too adorable. I'll be that ignorant chick and say that British accents on kids makes them immediately irresistible (i.e. "Look what I did to my dad!!!!" *look over at little kid's father and see some sort of pink princess accessory hanging from his bum). I guess accents in general do that, really... We walked all the way to Leila's Shop in Shoreditch where Motek picked up some cute glasses for Christmas. There's a great store nearby with a great collection of coats, check it out if you're in the area- it's called RG and it's at 40 Kingsland Road. We stopped by the Geoffrye Museum to scope out some old British interior decor...

So long for now!

About Me

My Photo
I'm an LA transplant now living in Manhattan. I used to take too many camera phone photos despite never having purchased an additional memory card. That was the main form of photo evidence for my "haciendo" and "viendo" until Kristen, an LA based friend I share the having of a knife tattoo behind my ear with, gave me her old Fujifilm camera, which has since DIED. Kristen is now removing her knife tattoo from behind her ear, while mine is still in tact, for better or for worse. The camera died on my first day in Lisbon. The last image it captured was a collection of traditional blue & white ceramic wares displayed in a storefront window. Whatever I was trying to photograph afterwards wasn't worth it. I write and produce film projects, have a dangerous predilection for vintage Robinson Golluber scarves and this blog serves as a window to everything else I do when I'm not satisfying those first two passions. I'm trying to blog more and tweet less @annabelleqv. What about you?
