abandoned house, hanover, illinois



the art show last weekend was phenomenal and super fun and i'll have some pictures up from that sometime soon. thankyou to everyone who put it together and to everyone who came out!

the weather is so nice. i love spring. i love rainy days and sunny days and every day. i love adventures and learning to drive and flea markets and abandoned houses and diners and noisy music and fucked up shoes. i just want to go to sleep for the next few days because on thursday i get to go to portland, oregon, for the weekend! i'm way excited. i've always wanted to see the landscape of the northwest coast. i think if i could spend my whole life traveling and going to all sorts of new places it'd be the best thing. just the act of movement makes me unbelievably happy. i have so much hope for so many things. i'm crossing my fingers on a lot.

  8. ps. if you'll be in town saturday, you should go to the saturday market in old town. the max train goes right to it and it's free to ride in most of the downtown area! makes it really simple to get around.

  11. ohhh, you're going to portland! i'm from portland! what are you doing up there? just exploring. you should try to check out the rose garden (the actual ROSE garden, the flower..haha, NOT the stadium). i feel like you would love the hawthorne district, as well. and pittock mansion is kind of mysterious. especially at night, i would go there. there is a really good view up at skyline. stumptown coffee is fantastic. do you already have a schedule of what you're doing? haha. sorry. but also, the saturday market is super good. alberta street in north portland is pretty cool too. have fun! and tell me how it goes! i'm sure you'll take AMAZING PICTURESSS. <3

  13. i absolutely ADORE your photography. So beautiful!
    Your line "just the act of movement makes me unbelievably happy." rings so true to me. I'm happiest and most at peace when I'm in motion!

  14. Portland! I am so jealous. Also in agreement on travel and movement weirdly enough after so long being the stay-in-one-place girl. I am still working on getting a job so Canada can happen this summer even if it is not for all of August after all.

  18. Every time I pass an abandoned house I think about going inside, but then think I'll be 'murdered' in some form or another.
