Bleachers – 2.5/12

There’s something satisfying about the geometry of bleachers. And there’s something about empty bleachers. That same something as empty parking lots and playgrounds at night. These liminal spaces where reality is altered. I think I like these places so much because it feels as if the world has paused and I’ve taken a step away from it. It feels like I have enough space to breathe, deeply. To think, about things that are important, about things that aren’t. A place where it feels like the next thing is so far away that I don’t need to trouble myself with it. Provided I haven’t been binging Criminal Minds before entering this liminal space, otherwise I’d be totally freaked out!

Heart over head – 2/12

I was brainstorming what I could do for my February photoshoot, and thought that it’d be fun to make it festive. I’m not big on Valentine’s Day, like, at all (it’s a fake holiday!!!), except for the excuse to eat cookies and chocolates, but it has some motifs that I thought could be interesting to work with. I wanted to use the motifs as objects rather than themes, and not get too cheesy with it.

We had originally planned to do this photoshoot the weekend before Valentine’s Day so that I could get these photos up during the week of Valentine’s, but that weekend turned out to be busier than we thought it’d be, so we rescheduled. And anyway, the snow storm was going on just two days before our scheduled photoshoot, so if we had done the photoshoot then, we’d have had to maneuver around muddy slush, which would have been inconvenient.

In the fields – 1.5/12

I’m the friend who takes photos. If people want photos for their clubs and special events, they’ll ask me to take them. If people need LinkedIn profile photos, they’ll ask me to take them. I’m honoured that they think of me. But hardly anybody approaches me with a creative idea they want to bring to life. It’s always me taking photos for other people; it’s never a collaboration. So I was really excited when Alex showed me an idea he had for his photos.

Brooklyn – 1/12

Despite having fun in New York City the last time I visited, I realised that it wasn’t the city for me. I know that there’s lots to do in NYC, but for some reason, my friends and I always just end up in Koreatown, which, to me, isn’t a great pay off for a two hour bus ride and then having to navigate through the NYC crowds. But living in Philly, I knew I’d find myself in NYC soon enough, despite my misgivings. I decided that to spice up my next visit, I’d dress up like I had somewhere to go–a fabulous New Yorker with a reason, a story, a party, a tea, something. Kat, Stephanie, and Julia were excited about this idea, so we made our day trip to NYC on the first weekend of school, ya know, before the schoolwork kicks in. Just in time to keep up with my 2017 blogging challenge of having a photoshoot a month!
