Updated my portfolio's Live section with photos from Monday night's sweaty, energetic J*Davey + Elevator Fight show at Black Cat. Check it!
Updated my website. I added new work in Self Portraits and The District (under Projects) and a new announcement under Upcoming/Recent Exhibits.
More will be added to Self-Portraits soon.

So far, it looks like:
A jog through Northeast DC. Taking photos. Having a close friend take you out to brunch. Sipping drinks and people-watching outside. Stopping by a stoop sale. Cleaning your apartment while dancing to A Tribe Called Quest blaring loudly from your speakers. Going back outside to wander and shoot during the magic hour. Receiving calls from mom and dad. Reading birthday well wishes from friends and acquaintances, old and new. New episodes of This American Life and Radiolab. Baking chocolate chip cookies. Feeling happy and pretty and hopeful for the first time in quite a while.
Grateful I made it another revolution around the sun.

In less than a week, two beacons of light have passed on. (Look them up; I don't feel like I need to explain who they are and why they mean so much to me and so many people the world over.) Too soon, in my eyes. To give you some perspective: look at these men's ages. My dad is 56. Passing on your early 60s seems cruel. Like your life didn't end as much as it was truncated.
Per Pierre Bennu, I'm left wondering what my legacy will be when I pass on. And with that said, I know I have a lot of work to do.
