Long Island City, under the Queensboro Bridge, 2010

this scene i photographed last week with my cell phone, is a startlingly accurate representation of how living in new york city feels to me. (i'm second in on the right with my back to the camera.)

back in brooklyn

here's an image of johnson, vermont at night. right outside of my former studio. i'm back in the city now, which is - you know - cool. now it is fall. hopefully yr reading this at some point in the future so that won't be true anymore. possible you could be reading this in the past? well i guess now is the past to the former scenario's future - so possibly. no, not really.

here is a photograph i made yesterday. don't think i forgot about the ball. returning city-side on friday. i'm taking all these green things with me.

confused like the state

i was told by a sign on the side of the road a few weeks ago that vermont is the green state. i just googled "vermont's slogan" & "freedom & unity" popped up. these are the kind of notes i take.

digital sketch for, Useless 2010

this is a digital snap shot of a large format picture i made today. while waiting for the light to change & the wind to die down i fought a mighty battle against northern vermont's finest mosquito infantry. there were many casualties, the most painful of which was the truncating of my photographic sojourn.

perpetually ready for the country

this is the view from my studio in Vermont. it's been a week, i think. at some point in college I made it a "goal" to lead a lifestyle in which it was easy to lose track of what day it is. i can now officially say i have achieved said goal.

it's been unseasonably warm until today, so my first week was spent exploring the local underwater hot-spots. it's quite a scene, let me tell you. full of minnows, well worn stones & craw fish bouncers. i was able to find a tie-dye shirt near a waterfall in the woods. yeah, totes VT.

Equivilence Approaching

West 52nd Street, NYC, 2010

In less than a week I venture off to Vermont, a state I have never set foot in, for precisly one month. I look forward to this change of p(l)ace, for I haven't forfeited the hum-drum in nearly two years! Locally, otherwise: it has been one long, hot, monumental summer. The afternoons' heat could not contest with the midnight sweats. Leaving the last few weeks a blur of the uncomfortable, undesired & unacceptable. Yet, we negotiated it all. And, I, for one, am glad it's over.

Looking forward to printing in B&W, shooting in the color green & gazing upon a horizon further than previously imagined...
