I don't know if I'm moving forward or backwards anymore.

These are hard times for dreamers.

for what it's worth

For what it's worth. It's never too late or too early to be whoever you want to be. There is no time limit. You can start whenever and wherever you want. You can change into whatever you want to be. There are no rules to this thing, this life. You can make the worst of it or you can make the best of it.

I hope to make it the very best. I hope to see things that startle me and I hope to feel things I never thought were possible; but most of all, I hope to live a life that I am proud of and if I ever find that I am not, I hope I have the strength to never stop trying to find my way.

i am counting

I am counting down the days till I get to skip town (10 to be exact). I really need to move around, to meet some new faces, and maybe see some old ones too. I need some crisp wind in my face, some kind of alive experience, a kind reminder that there is more to this life than fancy ideas and beautiful words... soon.

listening

Listening to efterklang makes me crafty. i wander around the house like a hungry ghost in search of something to take apart and put back together again - fabric, scissors, thread and needle, I stitch some handmade paper invites for an upcoming dinner party... an hour later, I dig through my photo box, flipping through prints tucked away in envelopes like long lost love notes... and viola! a small stack of images I never scanned or posted on here. It will have to suffice my roaming hands for a day or two.

I just recently learned that my pentax needs some doctoring. The shutter release is sticking, not snapping photos, and probably needs a new spring or something... and it couldn't come at a worse time. I'm leaving for a trip to nyc in a week and what little money I have set aside is reserved strictly for travels. thankfully my yashica is a fucking tank and survives epic blows and will thus accompany me on my next journey.

my life is

My life is a series of events, that all become stories.

i guess part of my fascination with photo taking is the ability of recording it all; maybe not with great accuracy but certainly with great heart...
