once upon an old daydream
that’s what you gave me
out on the corner of Broadway and 48th street
i don’t know my way through a maze of gray skyscrapers
but i’m willing to learn

you are my Manhattan from the sky
you look so neat and tidy when i’m way up high

This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Get on the LA subway {yes, LA has a subway!} and take it all over, getting off on entirely random stops and emerging to eat & have coffee, to saunter around, to make photos. We went from Union Station to Wilshire in K-town, to Hollywood Blvd, and then back again. One of the rolls I shot came back with these weirdo blue lines which bummed me out, but I enjoyed this adventure & these shots too much to just shuffle them away without sharing :)

The first of many film adventures I’ve been going on recently! Shooting personal work always provides great new inspiration, & shooting film just makes my heart happy. It feels calm, deliberate, thoughtful – such a refreshing perspective for a trigger-happy photographer like me.
