a wish for warmer days

on saturday i headed to a friends' place for some winter grilling. the morning was decently warm, and we carried a grill up a rickety ladder onto a sunset park rooftop. mark ran the show and once again showed how well he's getting his shit down when it comes to all of this

i attempted to use my newly purchased camera, to varying degrees of success. it's going to take a while i think not only to learn how to actually use it properly but to learn to edit photos the right way. that said, i think it went decently. and, past that, i felt like it at least did make me a slightly more active participant in the whole thing.

i'm looking forward to warmer days and afternoons in front of fires, going home smelling like the grill. sometimes i feel like it takes me a few days to really get the scent of the chunk charcoal out of my hair, and it creates a weird lingering element to it all.
