Deep underground in a pit filled with developer and fixer, Jana and I found each other.

home and other iterations

Every morning, I climb into the mute woman's bosom and she carries me in her bloodstream, veins spiderwebbing across the city. A lifegiving force over a century-old, still steady and strong. Anonymous infinities collide against each other in the rapidly flowing current.

an education

cultureshocked

As of today, I've been in France for 56 days. That's longer than the amount of time I spent in Tajikistan, longer than any stretch of time I've been home in New Jersey since graduating high school—strange to consider.

pays basque

biarritz: the beginning

I've been in Biarritz, a picturesque little beach town in the south of France, for the past two weeks.

I spend a lot of time on the beaches, which are crawling with surfers in search of waves and tourists hungry for a final taste of summer.
