I don’t remember why I first went in—it’s not like I have a thing for bagels. But I entered the shop into a long line and began the difficult process of not being a “bagel regular” and having no idea how I wanted to eat these plump round rolls with a belly button. (NYC bagel … Continue reading →

What I love about being here, especially this time of year, is the very real sense of light and dark. Nighttime … Continue reading →

I knew how temperature patterns worked in desert regions, but experiencing … Continue reading →
