I’m twenty-seven years old. No one ever told me that was the official year that everyone you know gets married. First of all, I’ve been to three weddings this summer. And there’s a fourth one coming up. I have eaten more overcooked steak, listened to more Black Eyed Peas songs and cringed during more drunken [...]

Song of the summer
For several years running there has been, by common consent among friends, an official/unofficial, sometimes disputed, song of the summer. After an extended email conversation recently with a beloved former contributor (he who shall not be named), I decided to collect a few nominations. Past songs of the summer have been big and epic with [...]
Red Hook, Brooklyn
In the coming week, I will be celebrating my first year living in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It’s a great place, and I’ve had a lot of fun here. My favorite thing to do is watch the sunset on the various piers. I’ve never shared pictures on here before, so I thought I would post a [...]

Dude, That’s So Random
Hey, kids, do you ever get sick of looking at the same few websites, over and over again? Have you worn a rut between your email, facebook, the Huffington Post, and The Greatwhatsit? Are you bored with the interwaffle? Well, my friends, bore no more! There’s a tool out there in the world wide webs [...]
A NJ home: pt. 1
For the next few weeks, I will be posting photos that I took when my brother and I gained access to a recently deceased relative’s house. The house itself is vastly important to my brother and me — we spent several happy summers there with our grandparents. Our days were most often spent at the [...]
Stuff Grandpa sent to Grandma during the war
In April, I documented a counter-protest when a group of neo-Nazis came to Los Angeles. The whole event seemed like one big costume party, with anarchists and police officers and half the cast of American History X. This month my theme remains Nazis, but now the originals. Susan inherited a box full of WWII memorabilia [...]
