all I want is someone to complement (with an ‘e’) me.

where can I find a life mentor?

trust me, life here in new orleans is full of color alright. just sometimes i wish things were black and white.

I haven’t posted in ages; none of us have really. It should be interesting to see if we can keep this up from Boston, New Orleans, and Santa Barbara, respectively.  For now, here’s a little piece of Boston for you.

I still can’t believe I’m here.

I’m going to miss seeing my brother’s baseball games.  I’m going to miss a lot of things. 

my flickr subscription expired.
cost: $50 for 2 years

i lost my eyecup.
cost: $20

my lens isn’t functioning properly.
cost: $300+ for a new lens.

 

i’ve lost interest in photography.

 

what do i do? do i spend all this money and hope my interest is rekindled? or do i take an extended break?

I always go to this darn blank page and try to post something only to realize that I have nothing sufficiently interesting to say. 

Everyday brings graduation dangerously closer… We all wear facades of pure excitement, yet we give ourselves away when we actually say the word out loud. 

“Graduation.”

The very utterance is shaky and unsure; we’re so afraid and so very human. 

2010, noone knows what’s in store for us, but i know we’re all meant for so much more than we can even imagine.

you loved IV. college is soon. NYU wasn’t so nice with their wallet. and other things aren’t rolling your way.

it’s okay, you can lean on me.

Look at the divide between you and me. 

Really take some time to look at it… Run your finger across the globe and feel the miles and miles connecting our disconnect.  Feel every individual prominence; every rise and fall of the earth, every body of water, all the hundreds of millions of people in the middle.

dieing? (via riley lassner)

repurpose. (via riley lassner)

i am infatuated with the concept of repurposing things.

Sometimes I say things without thinking about them much at all.
Other times I get a thought in my mind and I go over and over it forever and still end up saying it, for lack of anything better to do with the thought and for the need to just get it out and move on.

Often times, it’s the latter.

Also, reflections are tricky tricky things.  As are shadows.  I think taking pictures involving reflections and/or shadows are some of my favorites.  Sometimes reflections look just like their original.  Other times, a slight of light and a trick of the eye makes them seem totally different.  The same is true of shadows really.  Looking just at the reflection, you never can be too sure of what’s being reflected in the first place.  I also think its weird that I’ll never be able to look at my own eye without the help of those very reflections that so often trick me.

I’m sure there is some symbolism I could (and often would venture) to draw from these shadows.  If it was any other day, this would turn into a 10 year long post about this or that, I’m sure.  But for now, I’ll leave this or that to the imagination.

Sometimes I’m pretty sure that no would would even give a damn.
