on september 11th i went to jersey city to get some shots of the Tribute in Lights, a memorial art installation that uses 88 large search lights to illuminate the sky. i couldn't get too many shots because of the rain and because i only have one lens at the moment and it was getting wet. but this is my favorite photos and i'm glad i went. noone knows if it'll be lit up again next year so i'm glad i took advantage of it last night.

screw being depressed. it's only bothers me.

i realized i need to worry about me first.

when things in my life aren't so great, i have the tendency to alienate myself from friends and family. at the moment i've crawled into a hole and i've completely avoided nearly everyone for days.

luckily for me, having this antisocial behavior doesn't mean i'm stuck in my house. living in nyc gives me the opportunity to ride the subway for as long as i want. it lets me avoid any contact with familiar faces. i can sit there on the plastic seats and watch people, get lost in my own thoughts, or ignore all of my problems with loud music.

for me the subway is my security blanket, it's always below my feet and i can hide in it without being bothered by the people i'm avoiding. whenever i do decide to emerge from the tunnels and back to my social life, i can just walk up the stairs. until then, i'll let the conductor close the doors and continue down my pre-designated path.

"and handsome"

i may not be the most eloquent or well read person within my age group. but another thing i am not is a fucking moron.

i haven't had time to bring out my tripod since classes started and plans have fallen through, but i'm planning a shoot on sept. 11th
