Shit iPhone picture taken from a moving car, but whenever I see it I think of this passage from The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas (abridged): “Imagine all the ages of time in miniature, and in unending procession…all the passions, the tumult of empires… Such was the spectacle…and what I beheld then was the living condensation of all time. To describe it, one would have to make the lighting stand still”

New York, New York, has to be my favorite place for photography, from the streets to museums, there’s always something stunning. The architecture and the city life craft the perfect environment for the street photographer. I’ll probably start posting one or two of my favorite photos I’ve taken a day.

Living in NYC is so amazing because I was on my way to an estate sale in Astoria today with friends & ended up in Jackson Heights eating at a Tibetan restaurant just because we got on the wrong train. *Also I took the title from an old postcard I got at a zine fest in Richmond in like 2018 that some guy made! It’s a really nice phrase, and I think about it all the time
