Now ya talkin', from New Brunswick to Weehawken
I have been holding on to this image for quite time. After
moving out
of my apartment sophomore year of college, I realized I had absolutely
no
documentation of my existence there (many of you will remember that
the
room was fully furnished with a halfpipe and an indoor
garden). From
that point forward I began photographing the inside of
each space I lived in.
About a week before I started packing up my stuff
to move out of my apartment back in May, I decide to light
and photograph the four walls of my
bedroom at 59 Louis Street. I feel like in the years to come, I will really appreciate
having documented my college living-quarters. You only live once,
and in
college I certainly did a lot of "living," I think the bedroom reflects
that. I also think a bedroom is the most honest reflection of one's
inner-self.
The other reason that I decided now was the appropriate time
to post this photo was because we just took the first steps in securing
a new apartment
to move into in Wehawken New Jersey, directly across
from the city. Hopefully within the next week we will find out if we
have been approved so that
we can start moving in by late October. Once I
have my new room set up, perhaps I will even post another four-wall
image, this way, judging from the
content of my room, we can see if I
have done any maturing since May.
