Williamsburg (2024)

exactly what it seems // not what it seems // the rook // the party // the hanged man // the barbershop // tony soprano and the breakfast club // the wheelie // the classic

I need at least six months between capturing and image and editing it. It’s the approximate minimum time needed for the past self-loathing perfectionist who released the shutter to die and cede control to the nostalgic-compassionate future self who can respect the former’s perspective.

Cutouts (2024)

past-life recognition // end table // oracle // affliction // taipei rush

Mixed 35mm.
These fell between the cracks.
But now you can mix aspect ratios on IG so that makes it easy
Kinda thinking of deleting this whole thing though as this techno-feudalist institution capitulates to the alt-right.

Woah, I blinked and I’m 30.

Time moves weird when you’re still digesting making it past 20. I still find it tricky not feeling like a shade passing through existence in momentary, loosely adjacent fragments. Don’t get me wrong I’m doing a lot better now, but it all still feels like gripping a steering wheel of a swerving car in a dream you swore you already woke up from.

To all individuals I’ve had the fortune of encountering so far, thank you for leaving your impression on my being. And to those who deem me worthwhile of sharing more moments of their precious experience with me, I treasure you.

I’m still here, with an incessant hunger for creation. Let’s party (but cut things off at midnight because I just signed up for a Muay Thai club and need to get up early now).

elise // end of the high line // don’t mind me // ghost diners // an island // voice under the bridge // touch

This one almost didn't make it! I advanced past the last exposure on this roll and the film came loose inside my camera, so I had to open it up inside a black bag to rescue it. I should've worn gloves, but I'm a big believer in happy accidents.
