Take me to India, over coffee
Dangerously, I've encountered a man who has the power to make me fall desperately, actively in love with everything he shows me. I'm at his mercy. This morning he's managed to make me homesick for India, and for all the places in the world I've not yet travelled, chest-achingly desperate to be there, absolutely everywhere, right at this moment. Ouch.
He's Jonathan Clark, a photographer, and you can see his genius, too.

When I'm not journaling in obscurity, I'm flirting with disaster, missing planes and planning adventures. I've just moved back to Canada from London (UK), where I developed unsavoury habits like looking left before crossing the street, holding my fork curved down, and asking for the 'loo'. Follow me as I fumble my way to familiarity in my new home – Toronto . I promise won't spare you the gritty city details.
It's mascara, you perverts.

Hi Kate,
I'm so happy you've opened up the comments!
I found your blog very recently, love it madly, and wanted to say as much. Then realised there was no commenting feature. Of course, I could've emailed. But where's the spontaneity in that?! :)
And I too am a huge fan of Jon's photos. He's a very talented bloke. When I feel homesick and want to torture myself, I go and look at his NZ sets. He manages, in his images, to capture the spirit of the place utterly.
