What I Dig About My Apt. Thus Far.
I like that I can sit on my porch.
That everyone is just a little bit closer
and that we can do some ‘growing up’ together.
I like that I can hear birds, see squirrels and chipmunks.
That I can hear people working on their lawns… or whatever they
want to call them.
I like Jewl Osco’s wall on Paulina
and the way it changes during the day. I like
our potted plants and the cut throughs between friends’ places.
I like manikin legs diving through chairs… or what we call our
“Instillation piece”; and that when the wind blows through them,
the trees sound like water flowing through a stream.

My Summer Thus Far
Wake up at 7:08 every morning.
I immediately go to the kitchen to make
a fresh cup of coffee and eat a bagel with cream cheese.
I then proceed to sit in bed while editing the manifest photos
Until I feel good and ready to head out to the porch.
When I do, I sit out t(here) for several hours with my laptop
Stealing wifi when I can. In order to feel productive,
I quietly do chores around the “house”.
When everyone finally wakes up
I head indoors to sit in the living room.
And I eat lunch.
From there, my day begins.
Everything before that is only pre-game.
found a way to tame my hair.. thus, my new summer hair. cuz i'm lazy.

I know that it might
be a little ghetto, but since this
is our last week here and everyone is moving
out, my dorm has put out these boxes for people to
throw their stuff in that they don't want.
And although I know
we're supposed to keep it in there..
only the strong survive man. I'm about
to be broke as shit (as I don't have a job yet
and I'll have to pay bills and afford traveling on the CTA
w/o a upass) soooo if I see food, I'm taking it. just sayin'.
Though I think I might
stop taking since i've already got a ton
of food from today and the amount will last me at least
a week.
idk.
No more complacency
no more bull shit work
no more taking it just to please others.
More Quality, less quantity.
I'm taking down everything
I've done over the past 5 years from
the public's eyes, and only leaving them for
those of my friends and family.
I'm reconstructing who
I am as a photographer.
I'm going to explore and find
beauty.. and the essence of things.
No more taking things for face value.
Just because others do it, doesn't mean I'll have to.
Thank God for new friends.
By being who they are, they've put
me in check as a photographer and person.
What have I been doing for the past year?
who the hell knows.
No more creating (only)
for others.
