17: Iron and Wine -

It's been a favorite of mine for a while now.
such a quiet promise

Love and Some Verses
Love is a dress that you made
long to hide your knees
love to say this to your face,
"I'll love you only"
for your days and excitement,
what will you keep for to wear?
someday drawing you different,
may I be weaved in your hair?

Love and some verses you hear
say what you can't say
love to say this in your ear,
"I'll love you that way"
from your changing contentments,
what will you choose for to share?
someday drawing you different,
may I be weaved in your hair?

16: Chopin - 1834

I don't know. I just can't get over Chopin.

When I hear this, I always think of Stephen playing it
on our old stand-up piano at home.

I see my brother most alive when he is playing piano, as if nothing else in the world mattered then.
If he was upset, mad, or impatient before it is merely pushed used through the music and the piano .

I miss being in a home
that is filled constantly with music... be it piano, trombone, clarinet, drums, or even (god forbid) bagpipes....

15: Andrew Henderson 2003-2010

Andrew Henderson

Documentary Photographer came to our Photo as a Narrative class Monday night.
He went to RIT, photographed in Uganda and Rwanda for a bit, went to school for history and is now working for newspapers.

He actually photographed a Burmese family in Rochester, which just so happens to be my final project as well....
Talked to him afterward and said even if you are a bad photographer, you will become a great photographer if you revisit this family again and again.

maybe there is hope for me after all.

If you want to be a photographer, then you have to work. and work. and work.

13: Where the Hell is Matt? - 2009

Dancing 2009

the happiest video ever.

all the people who are dancing with him emailed him after seeing his first videos of him dancing by himself. He invited them to dance with him on his next trip around the world.

Goal: make a project where people can actually feel something at being a part of my work.
