Pictures from December/January. Buildings, nature, my animal, lights. These pictures are a taste of home, a reminder of where I am now and how lovely it can be just to be (even when I'm pining for being somewhere else). Also, I've somehow come to be a participant in Long Beach Zine Fest. My dear sweet amazing talented friend has offered part of her table to me and I shall do my best to create small works for eyes and minds to feast on. It's scary/exciting/crazy and I hope all my visions can come to some sort of reality. We'll see on April 24th if it all works out!

Just some pictures from around Long Beach. As always, there will be more pictures soon.
Your Broad (No Longer) Abroad, Dacy I have always enjoyed the industrial skyline that Terminal Island offers up in place of the traditional landscape. Stacks of shipping containers, giant freighter ships, and the dirty isolated streets of a strictly industrial zone make up Terminal Island, which is nestled in between San Pedro and Long Beach. It takes two bridges to get to Terminal Island, but other than some beautiful industrial landscapes and a small yet touching memorial to the Japanese Fishing Village, which had every last one of its inhabitants sent to internment camps, there isn't much else. If you look up pictures of the Japanese Fishing Village and then compare them to what Terminal Island is now, it's a little heartbreaking. It used to be a thriving community and now the one restaurant/convenience store I saw was dangerously dilapidated and though the sign said open, looked very much closed. It's a wasteland now. . More pictures, more writing soon.
Your Broad (No Longer) Abroad, Dacy Just a few quick pictures from a recent visit to the Queen Mary for some afternoon tea to remind me of England. I should note that it's not the best afternoon tea, but it'll do since I cannot go to Moat Tea Room way over in Canterbury. Your Broad (No Longer) Abroad,
Dacy One of the best parts of Long Beach is the architecture. There's a great mix of Art Deco and modern design. I love that the neighborhoods vary so much. One minute it's grimy streets and apartments jammed together, the next it's spacious craftsman style homes. Every bit of Long Beach has its charm and is not so scary as people sometimes perceive it as. As always, I have more pictures that need more posting. Till next time....
Your Broad (No Longer) Abroad, Dacy So begins my photo adventures from the good old LBC. Transitioning back has been both easier and harder than I expected. There are things like the food, the friends, and the family that are so easy to get used to again. And there are things like catcalling and heckling in Long Beach that are just hard to adjust to after 6 months of pretty much nothing of the sort in Canterbury. I've also graduated since my return home. Scary, exciting, and long overdue! Now I begin the equally scary and exciting journey of grad school applications. I'll update on that later. For now, some random photos taken since my grand return home. More to come, as always.
