NYC

I am now living in New York City. I was unbelievably lucky to find a place via fellow chicago photographer, Jordan Schulman, in the upper west side right next to central park... I love it here and the neighborhood is fantastic. I had orientation at the International Center of Photography and it was fantastic. The facilities are just incredible... they gave me keys to my studio... i met the other nine students in the first year masters class and some of the second year class... it just seems so perfect in all ways!
for some reason i already feel at home here in NY, even though i have only visited before and never lived here. I am truly a city boy at heart and i just love it.
Biking here is very similar to chicago except i've noticed that you just have more of those close call situations and the roads are horrible... there will be holes, huge mountain like hills of pavement, uneven grates, yada yada... and the cabs come just that much closer... but i love it! all the more invigorating! i revamped my bike, putting white cut off risers, finally a front break instead of no breaks (already has come in handy), a new silver and black chain, and i bought a kriptonite chain lock...
I cant wait to begin working... i have so much that i want to print and develop...
More updates to come soon!
