"thank god this tree is here, i really need to check my email"

brockport diner.

my dad actually is describing an explosion.

graduation.

sort of how it felt:

day of convocating...... and attempted egg consuming.

if you are going to eat an egg for the first time in almost 10 years, having The Last Supper as a backdrop seems practical for some reason.

i will start making real portraits one of these days. maybe.

robert whitney

oh you know, just a typical day at north street

too hard to pick between these two: jamal soaring in the rec room and jordan lovingly serenading a clearly appreciative jose. i love these kids.

jamal is indeed holding an arm

quote of the day: "i touched a liver. that junk was cool!"

the north street kids toured the bio-med building today. they are hilarious.

the rit parking lot is more beautiful on sundays.

less cars, more birds.

innovation and creativity day

i wish the army hadn't been on campus, but it was a really really great day nonetheless and a lot of hard work paid off.
(oh and sorry bob, but the poster really does look a lot better like this.)

beth

in her apartment.
im doing a project about home
whatever that is

moving in.

Hubert has his own new place, starting today. much was accomplished, and we celebrated.

beautiful things actually do sometimes occur on the rit campus

library late night

someone tell me what that means

<3 rare book collection

our north street kids tour the RIT library, specifically, the artist book and design archive.

happy easter :)

father neil at Our Lady of Perpetual Help's gospel mass. he is a really great human being. and today was a really great day.

saturday morning photo lesson

boggle!

hints of spring maybe maybe

one of my favorite fields. even if it did contain a very present cow carcass at one time.

fromage!

...i don't know how to say it in turkish, which would be more appropriate here.

festivities?

i hate the st patricks day parade.
these kids seem ambivelant.

yeah, yeah

so friday was busy and i took very few photos. thats all i have to say.

day one of the Northern Short Course in Photojournalism

or, a lot of photographers in one room, all the time

melissa's mustache

she has her priorities straight.
this is a preview of things to come, aka mustache saturdays at javas. stay tuned.

first day of class!

spring 2008 at north street. all new kids; all of them looking at the publication i made about last year's program. this was for me an intense moment.

good morning, cincinnati!

this was a surprise: no one was getting to rochester on saturday, so they thought about sending me to philly, nyc, or syracuse, i ended up sleeping here in ohio, then flying to the second smallest airport in central pennslyvania, where michael serra and his car saved the day, and delta lost my bag somewhere in the midwest.

mt rainier from the plane

all in all, i'm gonna go ahead and say that this spring break was so much better than last year's

portland posts

i am thinking that guy is the real deal. i mean, the picture of him and the baby pretty much seals it

melissa and i

and hiking and exploring and whales and beets.

singers in seattle

they were awesome, but i still liked portland better.

a community for portland's homeless

www.dignityvillage.org

on transport

and that with heroic qualities, no less

chicago airport

as it turned out, i spent signficantly less time here than i did in cincinnati a week later....thanks, snowstorm!

southwedge diner

everyone's moving right about now

another day at the office

i mean, i'd say our jobs are important. or at least, we do important things.

dear michael, i promise not to break your lens, love lisa

....as this was happening, i was somehow simultaneously losing my cell phone....
