Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(Jan 29) Living just around the corner from the old ‘hood, it seemed odd not to have returned, ubercamera in hand. I retraced some familiar steps, saw more things that are very different and haven’t changed.

arr gee bee
But first, for most of you, if you look really closely…
This is what pseudoreal really looks like

echoes
This view, hasn’t changed a bit
I walked here with Billy countless times

smokestacks make the lights go
The power plant hasn’t changed either

i skated down backwards
Before I moved into this neighborhood the first time, this was part of my rollerblading course

you can't go home again
Now it’s just part of the past

(Jan 18) Somehow, between my last post and this one, I apparently took 100 photos I didn’t save. I’m quite sure I have no idea what that’s about. I revisited some familiar places.

and pooped for eight years
The house where Billy chased his Kong

the fake brick is pretty awful though
It hasn’t changed much

"on time is whatever we say it is"
Things come and go, and and come and go again

and it's as empty there as it ever was
The building in the foreground is new, it just doesn’t feel like change.

signs of sadness
A former housemate puts the Will G. stickers up. He says it is to honor his son, which is of course a nonsense excuse for defacing things. But for those in the know, it expresses how much he misses his kid.

intersections
Go and Stop. A metaphor for my life.

(Sep 29) I went on a small tour of the past.

nan's house
The natural place to start.

shadow of its former self
The willow has seen better days

the once vast green expanse now marred
To me, Billy’s field.

it's round!
The fruit of something

in pieces
Its sibling, post squirrel.

in the woods
Some things however, are little changed.

(Sep 8 ) Ran back to Cordwood Landing Park one last time for twilight photos.

blue
The portal within the park

moar blue
Connecticut

blue is blue
The water crashing onto the beach always reminds me of Billy now. It frightened him as a puppy.

I like the blue shots more than these
Blurry ferns suggest it was breezy

Even though these are more realistic
I confused an earlier photo with this one. This is the one where you couldn’t see the people fishing.

(May 28) I replaced my old phone with the broken camera, with a “new” “old” phone with a not-broken camera.

the signs say ... it works!
When I uploaded this photo, I also got some remnants from the past from my SD card.

cute boys
Subway rides gone by.

Ghosts in my gadgets.
