"Almost a year later this afternoon still has a special place in my heart.

Finally getting around to driving to half moon bay with my two favorite ladies in my favourite city.

Coming back after a year of heartbreak and putting off so many things for which I was craving perfection.

Heidi, the magnificent lady in the photos gifted me my first gemstones to carry around at all times just as wonderful ones as these HAWKHOUSE jewels. raw and beautiful with just as much perfect imperfection.

real."
