a long time ago, m bought me the canon a75 digital camera. she gave it to me in october of 2004, our first year in LA. i took photos of everything with that camera that winter. especially succulents. like this lovely echevarria (that will soon have a more permanent home in our front yard).

(i’m not entirely sure this photo is focused like i wanted but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t belong here. one must remember one’s humble beginnings…)
