Nights like these remind me why i’m glad I exist.
They also remind me why i’m so glad I have a camera.
My friend Sonia’s quinceañera.
7pm to 1 am.
Tore up the dance floor.
So much food.
So much Spanish stuff I didin’t understand because i’m a little white boy.
but man, that was the most fun i’ve had in a very long time.
Sonia.
My RoD.

Photography has changed my perspective of the world.
Photography has given me a better appreciation for the little details in my surroundings that sometimes go unnoticed, helped me build friendships with a few people and more then anything, give me something to do in my spare time.
It’s also alot more fun then i’ve ever imagined. For some reason, capturing a little piece of time brings me this inexplicable joy that nothing else replicates.

Love is like insanity.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting the same results.
Love is asking people the same thing over and over and expecting a different answer besides “no”
I’m smart.
I get good grades.
I’m incredibly crafty and good with my hands.
I understand many, many things.
and I always try to push myself, in one way or another, to greener pastures.
But love… Love for some reason, whatever reason, I do not get.
And maybe, I may just never get it.
I find solace in the fact that i’m not alone on this.
Very little solace, but solace nonetheless.
Sleep calls to me.

Shortie.
Let me tell you why the Super Bowl has reinforced my immortal words of my father: “Friends come and go, But you always have family”
Most of this weekend and some of Friday, I’ve spent my time reconstructing my family tree from little tidbits of conversation I remember over my 15 years of existence.
In between asking my Nana, Mom, Dad and Uncle, they shared stories of their parents and their own experiences with their family.
It made me realized that some of the most memorable experiences in your life, the ones you remember till your last breath, are with your own blood.
Enjoy your family while there here,
Everyone’s hourglass runs out of sand eventually.
