A Year in NYC / A Year in Photos
It’s been a year since I properly, officially moved to New York, since I arrived without a particular plan to “return” anywhere. It’s been a crazy year, full of ups and downs, unexpected change and uncertainty. Plus ça change.
It’s also been a year since I posted anything, here – every time I thought I was about to finally get around to writing something, things shifted and my attentions were pulled elsewhere. As much as I keep telling myself that I want to sit down and write, to get some of my thoughts out of my head and out into the open, I haven’t had the time, energy, or focus to do so. Soon.
What I have done plenty of, over the past year, though, is to explore this incredible city that I still can’t quite believe I now think of as home. Sometimes just going about my everyday life, sometimes explicitly, purposefully meandering. And more often than not, capturing how I see it with photographs.
Unlike the preceding 12 months, the main constant has been place, while most other things have ebbed and flowed around it. Now seems a good a time as any to look back, and pull some of these memories together, as a record for myself of this past year, here in New York.
