June

ok it's been way too long since I've updated. there's a lot of repeat faces in this one, cuz I haven't had time to search for random people



these kids amused me, trying to be so sophisticated while going to a Brewers game

I apologize for not updating this in so long, this semester has been very rough

BOO SNOW

This has nothing to do with Milwaukee, but this video is everything the 6 year old me would have wanted. Her outfit seems to have come straight out of my memories

While working the other night, I had a passenger who admitted he had always wanted to reconstruct clothing and kept telling me how jealous he was of my "skills".

Well I can't spread the talent, but if any of you want to do something more with your value village shirts you should look HERE

Support Local

Probably many of you would much rather spend time at Alterra than Starbucks, but did you know you are actually making a significant difference to our city by supporting local business?

According to Our Milwaukee
"For every $1 you spend at a locally owned business, more than 68¢ remains in Milwaukee. Locally owned businesses maintain Milwaukee’s unmistakable style"

The website lists the growing number of local business owners who are part of Our Milwaukee

Spring

Now that it's March, despite the snow on the ground I'm going to declare it's spring!

January Hold Out

I honestly have way too much going on in my life to walk around and waste time taking pictures of people on the street.
