Division.
Division. (Washington, DC) - Self-reflection in the house. Polaroid SX-70.
With State College safely behind, I finally feel like the tires have hit the road, the duck has flown, the lobster has been eaten… this is it. Do or die.
For those of you following for a while, here is an update: I have quit the day job and have now taken up commercial and personal photography full-time on the Hill in Washington, DC. What is surprising is the ratio of time spent doing actual photography to working the business - I would say it is close to 20% shooting and 80% administration/communication. I have also taken up a part-time job at a local bike shop (Capitol Hill Bikes), which has really been great. What can I say? Life is good, one day at a time, and the front-facing camera is a much better view than the back-facing one.
I don’t know at what conscious-level this occurred, but after being here for two months, I feel like today is the first day beyond the honeymoon phase of being here in DC. I raised my photo rates today, I have been contacting new leads, and a fresh wind has come into my head regarding art and photography. I feel the roots heading down, down, down, where before I was fighting this downward growth tooth-and-nail in Central PA. Not that there was anything wrong with that region necessarily, but it never felt like DC feels now…
…Like home.
Boxed.
Boxed (State College, PA) - My life is packed into boxes, which are packed into a Forester, which are unloaded from said Forester, and then are dumped into a new place. Repeat five times. This is the last known picture of me in the Old Boalsburg apartment, and have since moved into the Stilson’s KILLER basement apartment. I have a park for a backyard… :D Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 50mm f/1.4.
