A photo a day, travelling, experiencing, rejoicing,
Celebrating life, love, and the wonder,
Of this wide world, armed with passion & a sense of fashion

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”
Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.
“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”
The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

Someone asked about my culture and I wanted to talk about Colorado. I can’t speak for the entire United States since it is too big. I couldn’t find a silly powerpoint about CO so I made one D:
NAILED IT
Yes. I miss home. <3

Link reblogged from A Year in 日本, part 2: 心をもっと養う
Okay, so I haven’t really explained what kind of schedule I have here, so some of you friends and family may have been wondering why it seems like I have dropped off planet Earth. Let me lay out an average day for you…
5:30 start trying to wake up
5:45 throw off the covers and freeze to death;…
なつかしい！！！！

So, today I went to check out a brand new exhibition in my city - photographs of Baikasai 2011 by Małgorzata Olejniczak in the Manggha Museum (which cooperates with Kyoto). For me those captures were nothing new - I’ve seen plenty of great photos - but I’m impressed of the whole exhibition. Why?…
