hi, my name is golriz lucina.
i used to live in nashville, tennessee, which contrary to all my (and perhaps your) preconceived notions, is a lovely place to be. before that i lived in iran, france, england, wales, new zealand, israel, and australia. in that order.
now i live in los angeles, california. which is a place which makes my heart beats fast. and not just because i’m scared of the way people here drive.
i am a camera junkie. i have at least 12. these days the one i use most often set me back $2.99. who needs photoshop to add vignette/vintage/saturation filters, when you have la vivitar panoramic.
i have an affinity for lists, unconventional portrait photography, and browsing supermarkets in foreign lands.
i have a knack for always having a stash of nuts and seeds at close proximity, and seeing ‘faces’ in everyday objects.
i have a low tolerance for gossip, comic sans font, extreme climates and lukewarm anything.
my accent is a mishmash of the places i call home: new zealand, australia, the usa.
it may annoy you that i don’t capitalize correctly or use proper grammar. rest assured, the university that gave me my masters degree in editing is probably far more concerned than you are.
i am the co-director of content for soulpancake and i absolutely love my job.
i am married to my best friend, devon-no-one-rocks-a-sweatband-better-than-i-do-gundry.
he inspires me every day, constantly makes me laugh, sings me songs he makes up on the spot, knows the importance of a good cup of coffee, and leaves me sweet notes in the strangest of places.
you may also find me at the places below, or at your local coffee shop where i’ll be surreptitiously looking for a power outlet and a decent espresso.
