Hello! This is me in Sutro Forest along with 3 random facts: • 1. I grew up in Germany and spent (almost) every vacation in a tent somewhere in Europe. 🏕✨ • 2. One of my favorite things in the world is the sound of horses nickering when they’re happy to see you. 🐴 • 3. We play lots of board games and my favorite one is Pandemic Legacy! (Anyone else impatiently awaiting the arrival of Season 3?) 🤓 • Do you have a game I need to check out!? Let me know below. 😀 • Thanks to my favorite human Neil for taking this picture of me in the wild.
We both brought a book (Artemis by Andy Weir for Neil, Music Shop by Rachel Joyce for me), wandered the path to Land’s End, found a sunlit bench and read and read, leaning against each other – the ocean spread in front of us.⠀ •••⠀ Just before sunset I spotted this guy capturing the magical view with his phone. I loved the layers of trees and the idea that we too – the stranger and I – became layers within the scene.
“Excuse me, what’s this weird thing in front of your face? Let me sniff that!” – Gipsy⠀ •⠀ Pretty sure I have a frame like this of every single (domestic) animal I’ve photographed. •⠀ No matter how long it takes, I always let them take their time to get to know me, get comfortable around the camera and investigate.⠀ •⠀ Often they’re curious for a bit and after a while get so used to the clicking sound, they ignore the camera and go back to important animal things.⠀ • And that, of course, is the best part: when they allow me to hang out and let me capture them when they’re really comfortable, just doing their thing. It’s pretty damn special.
Want to listen to some new music this weekend? *** Neil found this awesome guy who created a playlist for every genre imaginable (really also for genres I’ve never heard of. Shoegaze anyone??) 😄 Just search Timothy Walschaerts on Spotify and pick a playlist for the weekend. 🌞 *** We usually listen to Alt Rock/Folk but are currently blasting Old School Jazz Rap.👌😄 *** What do you normally listen to? What do you want to give a try? If it’s any good, share it in the comments, so others can check it out too. 😊 *** Photo from a gloomy, awesome trip to Red Rock NP
