Everyday People – Cody
Cody has a special place in my heart as the first person to ever touch my skin… …with a needle and ink! I got my first one at Black Heart Tattoo on Valencia St in the Mission District, a colourful part of town where beanies, beards and trendy boutiques co-exist harmoniously alongside taquerias, Arabic tobacco shops and a crazy lady who wears lampshades on her … Continue reading Everyday People – Cody
Everyday people – a series
San Francisco was different. Like a kid going to the beach, listening to a band play live or eating an ice cream for the very first time my senses were immersed in everything around me. I was an explorer of a foreign land and the only way I knew how to get under the skin of the place was to talk to its inhabitants. Approaching … Continue reading Everyday people – a series

Grow up
Today I went to the supermarket and for a full five minutes, tried to figure out which brand of laundry detergent to buy. Yesterday I pan-fried a chicken for the first time. I overcooked it so it was a little dry but hey, no-one died of salmonella poisoning so I’m chuffed. A few weeks ago I bought an ironing board. It felt like a milestone. … Continue reading Grow up
