my first NFL football game

my friend is originally from Missouri and got tickets to go to the Chiefs vs Jets game now that she lives in New York

my friend thought it’d be perfect to invite me so I can be introduced to the world of football and so we could bond over the Chiefs because I love Taylor Swift

we even got lucky to be at the same game as Taylor (photo 6 circled lol)

this was my second time that year being in the same MetLife Stadium as Taylor Swift (May 28th, Night 3 of The Eras Tour)

the chiefs won… tayvoodoo

2023 - the good parts of this summer

miserable hot handful of months broken up by some good days

beacon trip

I forgot how important it is to use the flash again and was too embarrassed to use it inside at the donut shop

we all took photos of our mouths full of donut but it’s hard to tell because of the noise

this was a fun day

all nighter for the sunrise. may 5th 2023

may 4th, the last day of the semester

buzzing from the day of farewells and hugs goodbye we just could not sleep

we made the trip out to our special waterfront park and skipped stones until the sun came up

6 am the ferry pulled in and transported its passengers, dropping off their riders and welcoming new ones

when the sky was fully lit the excitement of staying up had worn off.

we got bagels and went to a different park where I took that last photo, one of my favorites

sesame seed bagel lightly toasted with vegetable cream cheese

my first trip up north. January 6th 2021

we stayed at the hotel at Hunter mountain but the mountain area was closed for some reason I don’t remember

this trip was scenically beautiful and I wish I took more pictures

I can’t snowboard

DIA beacon: Beacon, New York

my local art museum holds a special place in my heart

sometimes there are installations there that don’t make much sense but it’s the point because it’s abstract and you can find some meaning in there somewhere that is personal to you that other people could never dig up

it’s one of my favorite places to be

the creak of the wood floor, everyone’s slow quiet pace, the way we stand around a piece

observing and nodding and staring

outtakes from the first roll

even though these photos are not impressive or show much I’m still glad I took them. this series reminds me of photos I would find in my mothers photo box from her adolescence

just documenting life around her

there’s a photo of my cat that I had since I was 10 years old who passed away in September 2023

photos of me and my childhood best friend hanging out, attempting to dye a strand of my hair purple

photos of my dog on my bed in my room at my childhood home that we sold in April 2021

so much life is held in these unimportant pictures

this series is from the same first disposable film camera as the first post

as you can tell by the final photo I was still uneducated about lighting and film

these photos are a perfect encapsulation of my freshman year of college- just being weird with my new best friends

these photos were taken in January so our second semester of freshman year, just before we would be sent home for a year and some change due to covid

I may have lost some crucial months of learning and valuable time spent with my pals but I’ll always be grateful that I got to meet these two before it felt like the world ended

my first ever roll of film

so many duds and dark photos, I didn’t understand how the flash affected my pictures yet at this point

it was nice to document this trip tho

this was in the summer of 2020 during covid and we spent about 24 hours in seaside heights, NJ. it was my first and only time being there. I felt pretty uncomfortable throughout the trip with covid being so prevalent but my group mainly kept to themselves. I didn’t go on any of the rides or touch any of the games, I wore my mask when I was in a heavily populated area. It truly felt dystopian to be on a vacation and expected to relax during a time where I felt so panicked.

it was nice to get out of the house even if it was only for a day
