brooklyn-bound.

new york city, a second time around. not so scary. it's crazy to think that when i'm home, most of my time is spent shooting, working, hustling, and it takes a trip to a place 3000 miles away to see some of my closest friends. in a way, it's kind of nice because i'm forced to focus on my photography most of the year, and when i do see people i try to make the most of it. on the other hand, it gets lonely when there isn't much of an option to walk a few blocks and see a familiar face.

but enough with all that. nyc was filled with adventure. on wednesday i took a trip with brett and marcus out to free day at the bronx zoo. so many strollers out! but it was definitely worth it. especially when a loose peacock decided it would be fun to follow us around as we tried to find an exit. it took a special liking to marcus.the rest of the trip involved a lot of running around. caught a free show featuring the john spencer blues explosion at the seaport, dinner and drinks with old friends, buzzing through pouring rain to meet editors (with my soaking sneakers in a plastic bag, tied around my wrist), and thursday night art openings. all-in-all a successful trip. maybe even a little too short. but there will always be new york, and i think this town is finally working itself into a small spot in my heart.
now it's back to real life, whatever that is.
