new mexico.

los angeles. to san diego.
to las vegas. to the grand canyon.
through arizona, and new mexico at night.
driving through a dark texas morning
(as bleak as i imagined).
and all these songs
put you in our back seat.

ashing my memories out the passenger window,
i made wishes on falling stars
and stared at a big orange moon
to the horizon.

at noon today we crossed
the austin city limit
blasted beyonce
crushed our camels
and pulled off south first street.

i am
learning to
see things differently.
photographing
my process of
the personalization
and characterization
of inanimate objects,
in the absence
of my friends.

realizing why i started taking photographs in the first place,
i ran through frozen images of us
on these empty roads.
watching my life right before me.

green light, is a go.

thanks man. it will be fun. miss you. take care.

in the vast nothingness
you will run into someone
who will save your life.
and the less you know about yourself
the greater the opportunity
it is to find
these
saviors
in the silence of
one madness.
