I’ve barely updated/checked this thing since I graduated college, but whatever. I just got back from a trip and I’m having the best time going through these photos! I’ve gotta say Moab is a pretty awesome city. It was definitely worth all the sweat and sun rashes.
I’m not sure what possessed me to check my blog today, but apparently I haven’t been on in almost a year. It’s sort of funny to me since I used to obsessively check this thing.
I just spent the last couple of hours looking through/editing photos of this emo fella. I’m excited because I think we’re going back to Denver next month! Hopefully we will plan this out more thoughtfully than last year. I feel like i also have lots of other cool-ish things to write about, but I’ll keep them to myself. Bye! :)
I’m sad we only had time to see a teeny tiny portion of the Rockies, but what we did see was so beautiful.
Visiting new places is v nice.

Got to see Purity Ring last night with my bb. ☺️😍 We also saw Of Monsters and Men the night before (top photo). They were surprisingly good.
“We might loosely define Gossage’s ‘project’ as the distinctive characterisation of physical space, built from an acute focus on the empty and lived-in surfaces that mark the presence of social life in a man-altered landscape. But Gossage’s work is not programmatic, nor do his photographs set out to advance an explicit argument. Rather, they carefully describe a legible series of incidental interventions in the landscape, delighting in spilled fruit’s partial resemblance to Roger Fenton’s cannonballs, or revelling in the listing frame of a house that recalls the conceptualism of Splitting, whilst presaging the humour of Raise The Bar.
Gossage’s are simultaneously anonymous and deeply biographical images that frequently appear to have been made just after the guilty party has departed the scene. They are vividly specific photographs of anything, everything and nothing in particular, and their magnetism flows not from their subject matter but from the enigmatic eloquence of their framing.”
