here rests a woodsman of the world

all in colma, CA. also: death as sleep metaphor turned pillow party; colma vanity is on point.

window full of portraits from the newspaper- my immediate thought/hope was that they were all the pointillism pictures from the WSJ joke box but it could be something else. let's pretend not, though. while we're debating, here's some holiday cheer/horror!

colma

oh thank goodness, finally made it to the modern-day necropolis that is colma, CA today. started things off with a military cemetery- technically in south san francisco- that hypnotized...


then moved on to pets rest pet cemetery in colma- the first i've been to, and perhaps the cemetery i've wandered around that made my heart hurt the most. lots of homemade markers. the spot has been in operation since 1947, and has a truly incredible mural as well.

MIT museum had an open house for new holography installations. all of a sudden like, i'm whizzing around on an electric scooter, facing slices & soda & finding dapper storyboards in abandoned rooms.
