You could find me crouching and lying on the sidewalk along Lake Street and Chicago Avenue to take this.

Trying something new (for the Vimeo Weekend Project): 5×5, using five five-second clips with natural sound. Pretty much straight from the DSLR, no editing.

It’s not very often that you’re asked, “Are you wearing deodorant?” and then handed a wipe to remove it. (Deodorant shows up on the x-rays as calcification.) The mammogram wasn’t for especially urgent matters, just luck of the draw.

I had heard that it was painful if you had small breasts, so I was ready for pain. It was an ordeal, but I’ve experienced much worse. The tech helped shoved me forward into the machine. The procedure involved much shoving and maneuvering my torso forward while a glass plate flattened my boobs in a way I didn’t know was possible—a type of magic trick/medieval torture technique, I believe?

It only really hurt for my right side, but the discomfort was tolerable otherwise.

Coon Rapids: “A 19-year-old woman was cited for underage drinking after an officer found her hiding under a vehicle in the parking lot on the 11600 block of Raven Street NW.”

Here’s the Ladino song “Ocho Kandelikas” performed by Alisa Fineman.
