Manhattanesque

If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan
I'd bring it to where you are
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
If I could open my mouth
Wide enough for a marching band to march out
They would make your name sing
And bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings

(From Marching Bands of Manhattan by Death Cab for Cutie)

Flying home into a new year. The earth is our cradle.

December Photo Update

Here's a small update for December from my Posterous blog; playing around with photos in the in-between spaces circles back and informs the other stuff I like to do. I've spent the past six months traveling and studying and learning and tying up loose ends, and I've gotten to do some cool things along the way. A big site update is coming in 2012, and I'll be folding a lot of these disparate pieces around the web here into my home. For now though, I hope that you all wrap up the holidays in fantastic style, reflecting on a year well done.
