My world, my view through the lens.

This is my parents' dog, Sam. He's two and he's been in the family since March 2016. He's great and likes attention 🐶 . . . #filmisnotdead #film #filmphotography #ishootfilm #fujifilm #fujisuperiaxtra #minolta #doggie #dogportraits #dogsofig #analogphotography #analog #35mm #instagood

Last night. First we had an afterwork in a great pizzeria, and then we followed the cook and the pizzeria's employees to a private bar in the backroom of this other pizzeria. We felt like we dropped back to the 30s. Paris is full of surprises. #igers #igersparis #canon6d #privatebar #parisstreets #paris #france #thisisparis

How far do I have to travel to stop hearing about people killing each other in the name of some religion or place of birth or sexuality?

I do look up from my phone sometimes. #paris #levallois #street #houses

Shutting down every feeling, keeping your mind busy everyday and maybe managing to keep the moments when the cracks in your shell show and widen in a single evening when everything you held at bay comes crashing through the armor and you have to deal with it anyway you can, though loud songs, a book and what not.

There is a fundamental reason why we look at the sky with wonder and longing—for the same reason that we stand, hour after hour, gazing at the distant swell of the open ocean. There is something like an ancient wisdom, encoded and tucked away in our DNA, that knows its point of origin as surely as a salmon knows its creek. Intellectually, we may not want to return there, but the genes know, and long for their origins—their home in the salty depths. But if the seas are our immediate source, the penultimate source is certainly the heavens… The spectacular truth is—and this is something that your DNA has known all along—the very atoms of your body—the iron, calcium, phosphorus, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and on and on—were initially forged in long-dead stars. This is why, when you stand outside under a moonless, country sky, you feel some ineffable tugging at your innards. We are star stuff. Keep looking up.

September sundowns. The sun sinks down as fast as my spirits.

Struggling to feel relevant.

Mood. #rainydays #vscocam

You bury these thoughts away because you know how it was when they had free reign, and you don't want to go there anymore, you have to go forward no matter what, you can't stop, so you lock them away deep, very deep, far enough for you to easily get sweeped away into the business of everyday life and obligations but you can't help to wonder sometimes "What if it all comes out again?"
