Obviously, I’m not a food photographer. I am, however, an eater, though I tend to stay away from meat, gluten, refined sugar, and most processed foods, and I tend to eat the same things every day: for breakfast, 1/2 cup of Rice Chex mixed with 1/2 cup of an admixture of various nuts and dried …

Well, the drive up was safe and beautiful (once the sun came up). I left super early, and so I arrived super early, and also got to miss the rather dull parts of southern Oklahoma that make the trip so endless. I’m not entirely satisfied with this picture. I couldn’t really crop it in a …
