It is time, i think, for me to reacquaint myself with my camera. to put head to heart. for awhile, to just get rid of the madness. to be able to find vibrancy in simplicity. that's how i always learned to take photos. i'm not sure how i got here, a stranger to the lens. perhaps it is time to revel in the glass once more. doubt changes a person. it suffocated me for years.

i'm ready to be free of that doubt and put finger to trigger like i'm shooting a gun.
so fuck it, i'm going to put all these things out of their misery and just take their god damn pictures.

Someone alert the lovely people over at the Art Department at Atlantic, as they might need to hire me exclusively to do things like this incredible masterpiece (thank you to fellow intern Stephanie for the co-creation of said masterpiece).

All those years of photo class have paid off to the fullest extent. That's aligned by SIGHT. Can't mess with these eyes. Yes mom, I am proud of the things I've learned and skills I have acquired on my long journey to unemployment. :)
