Here are a few more photos along the way of my journey. I forget sometimes the beauty I often find on chaos. Which is awesome to me, because chaos will always be somewhere. So there will always be something of beauty to be discovered there also... 'keep looking." I say to myself. "It's there."
A day ride in Coney Island... Can't wait 'til it is warm again. I am such a puss. I won't ride my bike in the cold yet...
Niceness walking around Portland...
These are some doors I saw while visiting friends in Marseille last summer. I can't believe I am just now posting some these pics. But they are here. Slowly but surely.
I didn't get many good shots from my Holga over the course of my European trip in the summer of 2007. I had just bought it and didn't know much about the functionality. Still don't really. But this one is a good one. I call it, "the good one".
Sometimes, the youth have something to say. I think we should totally pay attention. This is my 10 year-old brother dropping some serious insight. Meet Jacob Davis...
Okay. I have been put on to this video. I definitely didn't want this blog to be some forum for viral video and youtube clips. But. If there is gonna be an exception, this baby is it. No pun intended there...Joy. This kid makes me happy.
His ability to turn it off and on, on cue is amazing to me. Enjoy.
I just spent a decent amount of time inside my head thinking about my life and the decisions I make. There never is a way for sure to know if you ARE doing the right thing or making the right choices. And I for one can be really hard on myself for my choices or lack thereof.
At this particular time, I am exiting Kmart on Metropolitan Avenue in Queens. I am thinking to myself and dazing off into the future (even the steps I am about to take, as small as they are, are a contribution to the future). I am on the escalator, staring down at the steps as they slowly grow upwards, and into each other. And as I ask myself, "How do I know I am doing the right thing?" A little voice, one I used to recognize quite a bit, said to me, "Focus on your rise to the top. Focus on your ascension." And, my eyes lock even tighter on the ground below me.. I notice the ground moving with me. That's how you know... when the world moves with you. I take out my camera and I record.
I saw this in summer '07 when I was in London taking my European tour. It felt like a subtle show of affection from the universe to me. Others I am sure have seen this. But for some reason, the universe felt like it was all mine. I sent this image to a friend of mine back home to let them know I was thinking of them...
I have no idea what I want to say. So as I sit here with no idea, I am somewhat elated by the sheer potenial and opportunity and at the same time scared of saying something stupid. So let's just say that this blog will be whatever it becomes...
Today though, I start by saying hello.
If noone in the word ever knows your name, there is noone in the world to blame, but said nameless.
