i didn't create this but i think about it every time i accidentally gaze (eyes typically averted) at the ominous and trypophobia inducing paper wasp nest that seems to have permanently ensconced itself in the exterior wall of my apartment building #notthebees #whiteanglosaxonprotestant #flightofthebumblebees

the weird murals you see sometimes

more photos from autumnal new york, c. 2014, this time during a rainstorm. one of these appeared to have come out so well it was lifted and used as the cover picture of an electronic music album, a rare moment of validation.

macro photograph of a butterfly with a perfectly circumscribed depth of field effect. taken at the melbourne zoo's butterfly house the last time i visited that city, by my friend katie using my camera.

more graveyard photos during golden hour. i don't make a habit of hanging around melancholy and haunted spaces like this often, but the combination of warm dawn/dusk lighting and sandstone tombstones creates some pretty dramatic shades and colourations.

more from the same year. i wish australia boasted autumns like this, but aside from some select places, most seasons look generally the same give or take fewer or more overcast days.

from when i was in central park, about 10 years ago to this day. the majestic, the dakota, the langham & the san remo buildings, from left to right in that order. the upper west side is a treasure trove of neoclassical and art deco residential skyscraper architecture.

the flora springing forth from the roundabout intersection near me is starting to develop drip
