flattened

another year

Since today I fly back to Cambridge for another year of learning (we'll see how that goes), I figured I'd share a reminder of what my room looked like last year. Maybe I should attempt to grow in maturity level as well, and keep things a little neater. Hm. yeah. nah.

one last addendum--

Just say yes / just say there's nothing holding you back

When I traveled to Pittsburg, KS in the winter, I saw this abandoned greyhound racetrack from the side of the highway. It looks like Camptown won't be reopened.

This roll wasn't rolled tightly (my fault!), so you can see the light spilling in around the edges.

I just got back 6 rolls of film that I shot back in January. It's been a long time coming. They were the first few rolls I shot with my Hasselblad. it's been so long that I almost forgot to get them developed. More coming soon, but here's one:

Sarin Finkelstein was born in Columbia, MO. She's been published in many national magazines and newspapers such as the New York Post, Time Out NY, the Telegraph, and TIME. Her most recent body of work focuses on prospectors. On "The New 49ers," she writes:

In the midst of the recession, I have been driven to document the struggles of ordinary people against extraordinary odds. They are the new wave of gold prospectors that have re-emerged in California, 150 years since the original Gold Rush, united by a passionate and desperate search for gold to support them until the job market improves. The miners here—recent layoffs, veterans, retirees, ex-convicts and freelancers—are dependent on the income they derive from prospecting. Selling an ounce of gold at its now all-time high market rate of $1200+/oz. provides them with hope for survival.
