They’re everywhere!




My name is Dean Santarinala, and I am a 20-something living in the Chicagoland area trying to find my place in the Universe. I have always enjoyed art and drawing, and along the way I picked up a camera and fell in love with photography.
They’re everywhere!




Here’s a quickie for this week while I pack up for my trip to New York (and expect there to be LOTS of updates after I get back)…
So Dave let me borrow his guitar (a Yamaha FG-04 LTD) for the summer, but when he got back from his California vacation, he was broke. So, he sold it to me! I am most happy with the purchase, it sounds great and I love to play it when I get home from work and want to unwind. However, she needs new strings and a name. Any suggestions?

PS. Work is now over, yay! It’s sort of bittersweet after working there for 4 summers. I should’ve taken some photos of the cubicle jungle I lived in and friendly faces at the office but that probably would not have gone over too well with the awesome Motorola NDA that I signed. Plus I’d probably creep everyone in the office out. But I guess that comes with the territory.


I cut my leg up while biking the other day. I went to the emergency room to make sure I didn’t need stitches (which I didn’t), and the nurse said that this was “the prettiest laceration” she had ever seen.
