all of the above

Well. Things are going pretty well. Certainly better than I’d thought they would go. Just a quick update of what I’ve managed to line up thus far.
A day or two a week interning for a photographer (follow the link below, hit the menu ‘photographers’ then hit ‘klynt’).

A very exciting internship with an outfit called c-trl. […]

I’m annoyed I’m missing the election coverage. However this brings me right back into it. Anyone have any idea where it’s from? It’s not the Chaser boys I don’t think.

Last night I was sitting in the courtyard outside the Hostel which is surrounded by buildings on all sides. While on the phone to Amy something suddenly dropped heavily out of the sky and hit the table on the other side of the courtyard. It feel so heavily that I didn’t think anything would be […]

Going to an amazing little indepandant cinema called the IFC Center I was able to catch a documentary called Helvetica. Which was well worth the look. However the experience that I had was what has left the largest impression on me.
The IFC is on west 4th street, right on the edge of the Village, and […]

A double espresso later and I’m smiling back at NYC.

I haven’t bothered with Starbucks because, seriously, I’m trying to find coffee not look like a douche. And most places when […]

Well. I’m here.
It’s everything I thought it was going to be and also a complete surprise. Probably because until I got here NYC existed as a semi-mystical place in my brain. A bit of a mental shift in gears.
No photos yet as I’m struggling with the god awful computers in the hostel. Hopefully I’ll be […]
