Invictus

 Inside Aubert Hall.

This was a quiet day I spent with a friend sitting in a cave by the ocean.

 We sat there under the cave, and the moments we lived; they felt so concrete. One of my most cherished days in my life actually, even if it didn't seem it.

 Another idea I had, it came out okay I think.

 I took this photo back in August in Montreal. When I took it I didn't think much, it was interesting and I was curious. Now I realize what it represents for me, it represents a sense of the unconquered. The transcendence of being, that maybe there's something more than this. I think often that we lose sight of what's real. We start looking at just the simple pleasures, and forget that there could be more. It's escapism, it's ideal, it's the "might have been".

 This is one of my friends, Megan. This is the very last photo my poor old Pentax K-1000 ever took.

And this is the first photo my new Pentax K-1000 took, I solarized it using the same method a Japanese photographer I'm familiar with used way back.

The Good Times Are Killing Me (Part II)

 People move so fast, and care so little, I just wonder if they ever get where they so desperately wanted to be.

 Everything has its ghosts.

It seems that the only thing that can be counted upon in life are park benches. They'll always hold you up when you need to sit and listen to the people scamper around.

 This is Lonnie, and I am fairly certain he didn't know when I took this. Only my second portrait.

 Thank you, you know who you are. We talked about long shutter shots, and it inspired me. I've been wanting to get back into photography for months. Thank you.

 Downtown Bangor buying antique postcards to send to friends.

My friends cat, Modigliani, but we just call him Moglie

I'm in between travels right now, Mexico is about 80 days out, and I'll be in Canada soon enough. Stay tuned!

Suddenly Small

 I took this one in the largest library in the state of Maine. It seems that no one re-shelved the journals. I am between travelling right now; I will be in Boston this Saturday!

 It does not seem to take much these days to feel small, or slow.

It was in those last dying rays of sunshine on top of the cold mountaintop that he felt overwhelmed. They discovered that they would be best off by remaining at a little distance from one another. In the same way the need of society drives peoples together, only to be mutually repelled by the many prickly and disagreeable qualities of their nature. With all this said he had also considered that this life is finite; that he was simply conscious of the finer aspects of life if he lived it for himself and for others.
