For the first time since summer 2016 I am pausing my requiems. My life is consumed by the horrific events in Ukraine. I am worried about my friends and colleagues and I do not have any energy sharing photos and thoughts right now.
These photos are from a trip to Lviv in 2011. Taken on film with little Lomo Mini Diana camera. I cherish the memories forever.

Requiem for Fall'21

- going to Molchat Doma show through facetime with my friend
- traveling to Maine for a wedding and enjoying cold weather and windy beach
- running to a bar that was closing in 20 minutes as the only hope to get dinner and enjoying, shoutout to a bartender who was very kind and got our order
- swimming in an outdoor pool in Maine in October
- accidentally dropping Biscuit’s leash and surviving him running away (he ran straight home where we re-united)
- spending time and re-uniting with friends

- going to a baby shower for the first time
- saying goodbye to dear to heart co-workers (who became friends) as they move on to next adventures
