these are pictures of my first year alone in new york. i took pictures of myself on days that i remembered to, from september 2006 to the beginning of september 2007. i often took them first thing in the morning, or when i got home from school, or while i was at school, or while i was relaxing at night. there was no prepping for the photos, i just took 'em. i tried to keep my expression very neutral, but sometimes i had bad days and sometimes i had good days, and you can see that a tiny bit. i had a lot of bad days. this was a year of adjusting to life in a really big city, adjusting to graduate school, learning how to walk again, learning how to be happy on my own. it was a big year and i've definitely grown.
