I don't take enough portraits, and think it's definitely my weak point. This one felt a bit better, so I do believe some more practice is in order...

Hidden Central Park

If you are lucky enough to get lost in the untame Loch and Ravine in upper Central Park, and then find your way out - you will most likely emerge to this view. Once again, reminded that you're in the city you will recall the last 30min spent wandering aimlessly through woods next to a string of waterfalls. You will feel confused and amazed...

So Long Summer, 2010...I won't miss you that much.

For the first time ever, I have no problem with summer being over. I'm actually incredibly happy to see it end, and a bunch of friends expressed similar feelings for varying reasons. It really does bum me out to be so negative about such a typically wonderful 2 months out of the year, but the past 2 months have been the most stressful, life altering of my life thus far in terms of health and career. Through all of it I've tried to smile through and find the positive, but sometimes positive is over rated, and you really just feel like jumping in the car, blasting Sigor Ros & crying hysterically. At the end of the day, we're just human. We show emotion, and often it is not positive. I think the positive comes in recognizing the negative, embracing it, and admitting to it - Admitting to the darkness, the depression. That's how we grow. That's how we become better people. I guess, this summer has been good for at least that. For forcing me to grow a bit more.
