So, I’ve recently transplanted from upstate New York to Boston. Pretty much everything is shiny, new, and strange, and I’m doing my best to explore, adapt, and generally not suck.
One way that I’ve decided to get to know the city is by doing a photo project. So, starting on August 31, I began taking pictures.
August 31: Crossing the Hudson, getting ready to say goodbye to New York…
September 1: I found you some plants on move in day…
September 2: Scaffolding and construction on campus. My mother thought I was very weird for taking pictures of construction work. BC.
September 3: Dramatic tortilla chips and beer…and then a wall of rainbow Crocs. Quincy Market.
September 4: Went exploring… found lots of things, especially green things. Boston loves itself some green things. Also, BC at night.
September 5: My room is finally complete (until I decide that I’m bored and need to add more posters), so here is a view of my view. Window seat, overlooking green things, which we’ve already established Boston’s love for.
More later, that’s all for now. I’ll leave you with some Rumi:
“When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!
And the difference between them.”— Rumi
