An abandoned city to say the least.

So abandoned, they don't want you to pay to park.

But it was my first time catching a jump on my new camera.

A St. NE: Washington, DC

This use to be a place where I could walk through.

It was a place that's hidden to the streets of DC.

My escape.

It's "Suicide Blonde".

Oh...

Warped Tour 2007: Wyoming

The generator broke.

Everyone whined.

I grabbed my camera.

"Ease away the problems and the pain.
The girl chose the one guy who makes you want to kick and scream.
All along, you wish that she would stay.
Fuck the guy who took and ran away."
Dysentery Gary by Blink 182

* I was asked why do I choose the lyrics I post at the end. 

To be honest, it's the song that's on during the time of writing. 

But I only listen to certain music while writing.

Randomly Pressing Issues

(taken with a Digital Canon 40D SLR)

Warped Tour 2008: Columbia, MD

We thought it would be a good idea to go on stage.

We did it to listen closer.

All we could do is close our ears.

I could hear better that way.

Warped Tour 2008: Pomona, CA

First day of an adventure.

It was the most random concert photo I have ever taken.

Never thought it would have came out well.

I'll never trust my instincts again.

Anberlin

His music never caught my ear.

Everyone else's, but not mine.

Little I know, we are the same person.

"Do you memorize theatrical lines
That seem to lead them in.
Play the role with the good girl heart.
Add the tangled webs within.
Who was it that lead you on?
That makes you want to hurt me so?
Who do you want to forget?
Who forgot you long ago?"
Breaking by Anberlin

Fragile Writing

(taken with a Polaroid Pro-Pack)

Warped Tour 2008: The Color Fred

Music for twenty eight days straight.

No Breaks. No Complaining.

But we still did.

We Ate. We Sang.

We were never quiet.

Let the breaks end, release the lions, hear us roar.

(taken with 120 Film Isolete Camera, camera made in 1949)

Asbury Park, NJ

This camera is old to say the least. 

To take a still picture takes a skilled shot.

I thought I did pretty well.

---

(taken with a Polaroid Pro-Pack)

New York City

It stood still once. But long enough for this picture.

I froze them all.

And let the light in a little for it to defrost.

Why can't we really do that?

A lot Less Road Trip

(taken with a Polaroid Pro-Pack)

Warped Tour 2008: Jack's Mannequin

Anything but blue grass.

A little piano and some black and white.

People look at me weird when I bring this camera out.

Not my fault I pull my film out.

New Mexico

A horror movie scene.

No one for miles.

Who receives this power.

Now that is the question.

"You can't resist her.
She's in your bones.
She is your marrow
And your ride home.
You can't avoid her.
She's in the air.
In between molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Only in dreams we see what it means."
Only in Dreams by Weezer

Switch it Up

(taken with a Polaroid Pro-Pack)

Boise, ID: Warped Tour

I fell that day.

Around five times.

I sneezed that day.

Around fifty times.

I don't remember that day.

I wish I did.

"I was nervous from the start that our muscles might tear us apart.
From the words that carve our lives to the words that take us by surprise.
From the sounds that disappear to the changes we begin to fear.
One day I'll fail to breathe and all you'll have are memories."
Time Turned Fragile by Motion City Soundtrack

I will be putting lyrics everyday now to close out the post.

Switching it Up.

Blast From the Past

(taken with a Polaroid Pro-Pack)

Warped Tour 2007: Living on The Spill Canvas Bus

Summers set precedents and this one was hard to live up to. 

Dreams do come true under the sky blue.

Just waiting for the clouds to pass.

Anytime now.

Square One

(taken with a Polaroid Pro-Pack)

Warped Tour 2007: Straylight Run

It all started with this drum beat. I was able to hang out with him when he stayed on our bus this summer for a few dates. 

Very genuine person.  Rare for the business.

Heat Rises and I am on the Top Floor

Phoenix, AZ (Warped Tour 2008: Day Off)

One of the hottest days I have ever lived. The air around me suffocated every last breath that could have been exhaled. Yet, I would do anything to go back to this day.
