  • The Little Things

    The Little Things

    I walk through the crowded streets of a still Renaissance Florence. The people are either too busy staring at the Duomo, too flustered as they trip over the cobblestone streets, or too immersed in the designer shops to notice the surrounding buildings. The Duomo and the Baptistry are always viewed with great interest; the Middle…

    To the Land of Flying Monkeys and Blue People

    I was walking to school with my aunt’s red and blue duffel bag and an excited step. Just as I was turning the corner I caught sight of my friends Anne and Tiphaine. They were waiting for me. Jiao Tong University provided three choices for Spring break: Xi’an, where the terra cotta warriors are, Mount…

    A Disposable Adventure 2

    I’ve taken four more rolls of film since the last time I posted about disposable cameras. This time, thankfully, a majority of the photographs came out clearly. The viewfinder and the frame were off by quite a bit but I’m still really pleased with how they turned out. Most of the time what catches my eye…

  • The Rise of the Berners

    The Rise of the Berners

    How self-guided volunteers are getting the word out about Bernie Sanders for the 2016 U.S. Presidential election through social media. The first time I heard about Bernie Sanders was not through the news, but a status update my friend posted on Facebook in late May. I had been scrolling down my endless feed of information…

    A Disposable Adventure

    At the start of the new year, I had decided to purchase a disposable camera in hopes of catching more meaningful moments on film. It’s considerably lighter than my usual Canon camera, weighing the same as just the strap alone. So I carried the disposable around with me for three months and finally finished the…

  • How an Artist Found his Path in the Art World

    How an Artist Found his Path in the Art World

    From artist to curator in the ever-expanding art world of New York City. A beveled-edged canvas with beautiful washes of greens, blues, purples and vibrant yellows with light folds resembling the shape of an “M” stares directly at the viewer entering the room. It is one of many abstract works in the space for the…

  • Team Bernie NY Meeting

    In the back room of the Cherry Tree bar at the corner of Bergen and 4th Ave a group of over 40 volunteers ranging from high school aged to senior citizens are gathering. Beers and homemade Bernie paraphernalia are scattered along the tables. The dimly lit, red brick-lined room is home to the bi-weekly Team…
