nature weekend. we went to the woods, a few friends and i. we only had eachother, not even internet. pichi pichi, fire sounds all thru the night and pochi pochi , little rain drops thru the night. crisp crisp air, big big moon. so many tadpoles. green too bright for me to handle. why do i live here and not there?

aki and i, came back to life

aki

jane

maggie, emiko, kobi, matthew..throwback halloween last year

ryan and ohad.
ohad was visiting from california.
i've known them both, one since i was 12 and once since i was 14, respectively.

even though we are worlds apart right now,
i guess something keeps us together. at least once in every few years.

osho

zon, middle of the night in the woods

masa. we also call him johnny depp, but he hates it when we do.

koo

aki and masa ..earlier this year

i just got some rolls developed.
i'm mostly amazed at, not only how much time has passed, or how much time we spent together, but also how much our hairs have grown..

i mean, all of us.

So

atsuki

sandy and i went to go see my friend , miguel's work at the chelsea hotel the other day.

i'd never gone in there..but it felt magical for many reasons.

so, yoshino

went to see some cherry blossoms in brooklyn,

but that was a joke since there were none left

not that i expected any to still be alive.

i found a bush of tree peonies, my favorite, so that sure made up for it

what i'm talking about here is completely boring.

i'm actually just trying to stay awake, even though i'm completely tired out of my mind.

in complete zombie mode.

i tried to paint,

i.;m so tired that i just kept painting black over white over black over white

over

and over

and over

again.

and so to do something else that's completely mindless..

i'm trying to keep some photos updated,

because that seems to be the only way i can record things lately.

it's already may.
