daylight savings time.
this weekend, we went back in time. it was only for a small hour, but for that small hour time stopped and took a step back for us. it gave us just enough time. we were little kids tromping through the forest, little kids making a mess in the kitchen baking cookies, little kids in the party room at mr. gatti's, little kids wide-eyed in amazement at all the hillbilly sites of gaitlinburg, little kids perusing the clearance halloween candy, little kids tromping through a field and sundown. for a small hour i forgot about the status of my college applications, the wrinkles around my eyes, my rent check due tomorrow, my art history test on thursday, the wax that now covers my dresser front, my fears about being successful in the future. for a small hour time went back for us.
just what i needed.

Hi. I have been reading your blog for at least a year now. Not religiously, which is to say not stalkerishly, but frequently. Every two weeks or so. To break up the monotony of the day. I can't even tell you how I came across it, though I think it was probably a random blogger.com search during a particularly boring day at work. Anyway. I'm a big fan of your photography. I also enjoy your writing style. The emotions you are gonig through remind me a lot of what I went through when I was your age. It may not always seem like it now, but I think you've got a great future ahead of you. You should have more comments, so here's one. And...I guess that's it.
P.S. For what it's worth, I spend my day prosecuting laws, not breaking them. So this was just a harmless little compliment.
