I'm afraid of Swedish furniture
On our way to Ikea, my husband asked me what I was afraid of. I told him, “Sharks.” That didn’t seem like the answer he was looking for. So I really thought about it. “Swimming in dark water. In case of sharks.” Still didn’t seem to be enough.
I didn’t have to ask him what he was afraid of. He was afraid of being alone; it’s a small part of why we were married in the first place. He didn’t want...
I was just at Indigo looking for a book and an employee came and asked me if I needed any help. I said, yes. I’m looking for a book and I can’t remember what it’s called or who wrote it but it has the word ‘love’ in the title and a blue cover. He looked at me and said, The History of Love by Nicole Krauss? And I said yes, you are amazing. And he said, I know. Well, he...

Loneliness
She watched her getting out of the cab from where she sat in a coffee shop across the street. She liked being early, but she liked arriving late. So when she found herself at the restaurant twelve minutes before they were supposed to meet, she stepped across the street, ordered a tea, and waited, watching out the window.
She noticed D was wearing sensible shoes, and wondered what it meant that...

The Perils of Ignoring Men's Magazines and Women's...
She had spent too long being beautiful to now notice what exactly the extra fifty pounds on her bones created of her body, or to think that they should make her feel, somehow, tamed. Unlike her mother who gained the weight before her and exhausted herself in attempts to lose it; who hid them under XXL shirts and shapeless dresses; who pointed them out while hiding them away by discussing her...

babyfaysayhey asked: When you take self-portraits, how do you go about setting up the composition? Do you go about it differently than when you take a picture of someone/something else? Just wondering as I'm a civilian, not a photographer.

iamwesley asked: On your phone in http://therealkatiewest.tumblr.com/post/842154674/just-this-thats-all, my question is how the hell you got it to say ROGER up top? Is this an iPhone 4 feature where you can see the name of the network you are connected to? or can I make my iPhone say roger (please let the latter be the case)

Night Writings
I’m sure a lot of you do this. Just as you’re falling asleep, you’re writing stories in your head, great stories, and you think oh, I’ll remember in the morning.
Well, I NEVER remembered in the morning. So I’ve gotten into the very good habit of making myself reach over, pick up my iPhone, and write down my ideas. Sometimes they don’t pass the morning-after...

heychickpea asked: So, I don't know if you read these things, but I thought I would just send it either way. I started following your work when I made a tumblr a while ago and I fell in love with your photos, the fact that you like cats, and I think you're pretty cool. I just wanted to say thanks I guess, because you do what I wish I could do. I used to be really open about my body, because I thought of it...

Is there a word for the frustration felt when you’re right but nobody believes you? I bet this is what being a woman feels like.

Are we all aware that the Westboro Baptist Church is planning on picketing San Diego Comic Con? Apparently we’re all a bunch of idolators. I mean it; that’s why they’re going down there.
My friends and I have generated a partial list of ideas for pranking these assclowns that brim with nerdy genius:
Setting up a gold statue of Batman near their encampment and leaving wreaths...

WatchMusic: Shangri - Wayne Newton
I show my feelings on being thirty-three floors above Tokyo. The feelings are excitement, mixed with a bit of giddiness.
seltzerlizard asked: Do you have any photography heroes? Or image/visual art heroes if your heroes happen to be painters, etc?
