My self portrait

i should know


that the grass is always greener on my side.

disturbance

there was a little bird
very quiet and calm
enjoying sips of human drink

i disturbed its peace
by taking photos
and all of a sudden


it went completely mental

i'm sorry.

me, a lamppost, the second story

me, a lamppost, and train tracks
on my way to Patterson on a Friday afternoon
this photo was taken as the train was arriving 
i was standing on the edge of the platform
very very close to the stopping train
my sleeves could feel the cold steel
i could have lost an arm
but that would be too predictable
