sometimes i
shoot 35; 36 times.



double exposures on expired fuji color press film.
elliott does portraits. i do crack.


throw your ____________________ if you're feeling my vibe.




rode my bike for the first time this spring
[groceries in the basket and everything]
POYi lectures made me want to be a photojournalist
[just a little bit]

pope has been all up in my space.. my block. my school. my paper
making me late whilst making moves.

rumor has it weezer is going red.. ::shakeshead::
this could be my summer heartbreak.





the weather's getting hotter and i feel too cool for school.

i'm already ready ready to fall asleep with the windows open..
listening to electrotones.
trying to recall exactly what it felt like to be painfully alone.






on repeat.

POSITIVE.

this is me a few weeks ago...
about to leave to shoot my aids story.
optimistic and fresh; feeling a little copaken kogan
excited for a worthwhile story about an hiv positive young man named jonathan.





this is jonathan's room.
he lives in the basement of a hospice house in adam's morgan called joseph's house
they take in terminally ill people with no other options of care.


my work, along with my class's, is now hung and ready to show.
my small class has attempted to tackle a global issue in a local context.
[through audio, video, text, and of course photography]

it's important.
beautiful.
attention worthy.
deep.
heartbreaking.
inspiring.
it's an awakening documented.
a contemplation begging to be explored.
