Miro, San JoseMiro, San Jose

我在这里住了两年Home for two years

Home sits high over downtown San Jose, on the corner of the tower, with windows facing east, south, and west. The sun comes in one side and leaves by the other. It is not a loud downtown; most days the biggest thing moving in the apartment is the sun.

Golden-hour light on a dining chair, shadows falling on the concrete pillar

We moved away a year ago. Sorting the photos today, I realized how many I had actually taken.

A few corners come up again and again; I can see it now, these are my favorite spots in this home. As for the rest, they are mostly about the sunlight.

Morning blue sky in the floor-to-ceiling window, a speaker on its stand by the concrete pillar

Palm fronds and their shadow on the wall in the evening sun

A beige Togo chair in the corner next to a monstera

Afternoon sun flooding the couch by the window, downtown outside

The Togo chair and the monstera against the downtown towers

The living room in evening light, white sofa and a small white cart

The study by day, a standing desk and a printer on the floor

A Donald Duck doorstop against the door frame

A tan leather bulldog ottoman beside the TV stand

A framed three-panel comic on the wall, blurred towers out the window

Two chairs at the dining table in the last of the evening light

The dining table at sunset, a glass of water catching the light

A glass of water against the dusk skyline

White roses and eucalyptus beside a small tile on its easel

The roses on the table seen from across the room, an old tower in the distance

The kitchen and its fridge magnets, the roses still on the table

Sunset panorama over the Santa Cruz Mountains and downtown rooftops

A plane in the window above the floor lamp

A plane dropping toward the airport, seen over the Togo chair

The apartment reflected in the window glass at dusk

The desk at night from across the room, the chair's silhouette against the city lights

Good night.

The hallway with its lights on, one small picture on the wall

家在圣何塞市中心的高处，占着楼角，窗户朝东、朝南、朝西。太阳从一头进来，从另一头出去。这个市中心不太吵，大多数日子，家里动静最大的就是它。

金色光里的餐椅，影子落在水泥柱上

搬走一年了。今天整理照片才发现，原来拍了这么多。

有几个角落翻来覆去地出现，现在看出来了，这就是我在这个家里最喜欢的几个位置。剩下的那些，拍的差不多都是阳光。

清晨的蓝天嵌在落地窗里，水泥柱旁立着音箱

傍晚阳光下的棕榈和它投在墙上的影子

墙角的米色 Togo 椅和旁边的龟背竹

下午的阳光铺满窗边的沙发，窗外是市中心

Togo 椅和龟背竹，背后是市中心的楼群

傍晚光线里的客厅，白沙发和小推车

白天的书房，站立桌和放在地上的打印机

门边的唐老鸭门挡

电视柜旁的皮革斗牛犬

墙上装框的三格漫画，窗外是虚化的楼群

傍晚最后一段光里的餐桌和两把椅子

日落时的餐桌，一杯水接住了光

暮色天际线前的一杯水

白玫瑰、尤加利和小画架上的花砖

从房间另一头看过去，桌上的玫瑰和远处的老塔楼

厨房和冰箱贴，玫瑰还在桌上

圣克鲁兹山脊上空的日落全景

落地灯上方，窗外的一架飞机

从 Togo 椅上方望出去，一架正在下降的飞机

暮色里，玻璃上反射出来的家

深夜的书桌，椅子的剪影衬着窗外的城市灯光

晚安。

亮着灯的走廊，墙上一幅小画
