lemon

vienna, virginia

after college, i moved back home for a year to save money before moving to LA. one summer morning, i came downstairs to see this neat little arrangement on the kitchen counter. instead of using limes, my dad had been using lemons to put into his coronas. i think my parents had had guests over the night before, which is why the lemons were just sitting out like that—i guess my mom just forgot to put them away while cleaning up. anyway, when i saw the yellow contrasting against the dark green on the tiny wooden cutting board, i was moved with an urge to run upstairs for my camera.
