The Human Race
Yesterday, yeah. I saw the world go by I was standing, yes I was Between the Earth and Sky I saw the human race I saw the human race.

Tough Mary
Teddy sat across from me in Càphê Roasters only two Fridays ago. I was a little surprised he chose to take me to a spot in Kensington. Despite the posh referencing of British Aristocracy name of this near Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood is named for, it really is anything but. Theo had long, alongside Fishtown (alongside … Continue reading Tough Mary

I thought I had made enough of an effort to reconcile and say goodbye to Mendocino, Humboldt and Lake Counties as the march of time brought … Continue reading The Mountain’s High
What’s Easy For Two…

It's been more theoretical rather than practiced than I'd like to admit. It's another 'Valentine's' season but it's another year I sit … Continue reading What’s Easy For Two…
Art History
There’s so much photography honestly. There’s so much imagery in the world that it is almost impossible to comprehend how much it actually tells us about the world. I can’t help myself, like ever. I get lost in what other visuals tell me. I get so lost sometimes that I can’t take in all I’m … Continue reading Art History
