When Buildings Looked Pretty
This is a picture of a bank built in 1866 in Danbury, Conn. Compare that to a modern bank, say, your local M&T or Wells Fargo. Perhaps those modern buildings are more practical and efficient, but I cannot stroll past a brick building like this Danbury bank and not appreciate its charm with its rows of lined brick with a golden clock and adorned arches above the windows. Someone might bring up the obvious point that buildings like this cost more to create in materials and de

The Story Of Rachel
This is the story of a headless mannequinâs journey through tragedy and triumph, as well as how she ended up at a college house concert party, as the center of attention for the first time in her life. In order to properly understand how Rachel was thrown into this life-changing situation, we have to first understand how I came to meet her. On a Saturday, I and a fellow classmate ventured out to the far away land of Goodwill Outlets. In this space between traditional thrifti

I trusted my father when he said it was safe, so I naively thought all the bees were gone. Yet I stepped on one, and it wiggled right in between my toes and stung me.

Her Name Is Elaine
In Mallory Square, an iguana named Elaine basks under the sun, oblivious to the worldâs troubles. Named after a 'Seinfeld' character by an ice cream vendor, she lives a routine life far removed from ocean acidification or territory disputes just rocks, sun, and the slow shuffle of her fellow iguanas.

The New York High Line
The neck of a yellow excavator foots the bottom of a scene located in the Meat-Packing district of a bustling Manhattan, the smells of Chelsea Market wafting over. Shadows consume the urban landscape, lining every automobile and defining every storefront. Bright, vibrant colors contrast the darkness, fighting for their time with the viewerâs eye.
