skin-tight

feat. Shadawn

Shibari is an intimate and relaxing practice but also meditative despite its reputation, such is the case in many rope-sessions. It is a brilliant unorthadox art. (I am by no means a professional rigger btw)

The Public Courts:

Organized Chaos and Spontaneous Camaraderie

The public basketball court, whether it be on a college campus or a public park, is a place of oxymoron, it is organized chaos and a structure which promotes a beautiful sense of community.

SONDER

Occasionally, I will take short trips to Downtown Greensboro and take pictures. I think its important to capture the complexity of cities in which so many stories exist, stories just as complex and interesting as our own.

BOOKWORM

I often go to the library to complete work, as its silence is calming. As a result, I've become something of a bookworm, (though I haven't been reading actual books like I should).
