This crew was awesome. They were smart and dedicat This crew was awesome. They were smart and dedicated. They were fun and by the end of the semester, we had way too many inside jokes. And above all else, they were thoughtful and kind.

Thank you to Nathan, Vaughan, Layne, Niko, Vanessa, Anastasia, Toby, Annie, Ryan, Mads, Mark, Audrey, and Elijah for such a great semester, and thanks to Chase and Ryan for kicking ass as TAs. Shout out to Ryan for reminding us to take a class photo since I usually forget.

"Take a break from the man-made hell
To catch a breath today

Could be the last you know, happy's how you oughta go
No pay could ever buy your soul
Ever make you whole

Don't you fake no smile if it ain't true

But you're the only you today"

I have a lot of thoughts on the contradiction of i I have a lot of thoughts on the contradiction of instant film (especially in today’s world) and a lot of thoughts on what blurry images are actually all about. And I’ve got a lot of love for NYC. Ever since my freshman year of college, it’s where I’ve escaped to when I’ve needed a break. Things always slow down for me when I’m visiting and the change in perspective allows for things to come in focus. For all these reasons, it’s not really a coincidence that a few years back, I intuitively started making blurry polaroids of buildings in New York, but it did take a few years for me to connect the dots a bit. As the dude says “new shit has come to light.”

One day, I’ll actually sit down and write about it all. Until then, here are 9 from NYC.

Thank you to LG, ES, KF, KG, JOS, SM, ML, L, MM, J, and Q for a most excellent weekend a few weeks ago.
