Roebling Tea Room Brunch, Brooklyn, January 2011. Byron was sweating the waitress he’s had his eye on for months. You were sitting over my right shoulder at another table. I remember green somewhere in the frame catching my eye. Now I’m not sure what that was.  I didn’t notice how striking you were until weeks later. I knew it would be good. I didn’t know you’d be so good though. Another reason I love film. Hope to see you again, lady.

Kim, on his mouth We didn’t have our picnic because of the rain. So we brought the food to Kims as Kim sat and did what Kim does. It’s a rough scan… Mamiya RZ67, Kodak Plus-x

Stairwell, Brooklyn Spent last weekend in jail, downtown Brooklyn. Photographing abandoned spaces can be dangerous business.

Sorry I missed you. The man is keeping me down. Hey man, my mom said she talked to your mom a couple of days ago and she asked if I was still in NY cuz you really needed my help? I’m not sure what she’s talking about, but let me know. -Ronnie, Cousin Bro. Are you in Jail? - Jae, Friend Oh Boy. So yr in jail. Ok. If you want me to come home tonight just fuckin say when kid. On my way back to bk. I sure hope you ain’t still in lockup. - Lara, Complicated friend And this.
