My brother and I went on a photowalk out to Coney Island yesterday. Coney Island is one of those places that since childhood has built up its own mythology in my mind. Sorta like Paris or Hawaii - a place far far away that holds exotic and magical adventures if you can just ever get there.
Well, turns out it wasn’t magical. But I did have fun. And hell… I can still hold out hope for Hawaii.

Amherst, MA (1996?)
My brother and I are nearly two years apart in age, but were always one year apart in school (Who knows if I was dumb or he was smart…) This was taken in front of the “social dorms” at Amherst College. I am still unsure how he ever came to the decision to attend the same college as me, but I am glad that he did.
I am carrying my requisite cup of coffee (yes it is night time) and wearing my favorite shirt (which I just retired this year when the arm nearly fell off because the hole in the elbow had gotten too big).

Found inside the Dove, Thompson btw Third and Bleecker, NYC

Flickr was kind enough to point attention to a few of my street art photos on their blog.
And I just found out that the DCist recently used one of my photos.
