Why Should Shoes Be Clean Anyway?

The Polaroid kid. My newest crush, replacing my ever present love for Neil Patrick Harris.
'This kid, is a 22 year old self taught photographer and train hopper, and he’s been capturing the stories of his train-hopping community (or sub-culture) on Polaroid film since at least 2003.' from SeanWoosley.com
Oh train hopping, I think the best thing about it are the people who do it. Some of the greatest people ever.
But this kid, his pictures are really amazing. And now I'm just pissed that I was in San Francisco a couple weeks back and I didn't know about his exhibit. You win some, you lose some.
I think what's so breathtaking is the simple bittersweetness, its so honest. Anyone can take a picture, but it takes an artists to capture a feeling.
But we're all artists. You can see more of his stuff on his m+b artists page.

Movin' out

Driven from DC to Albuquerque in last three days. Wish I could be everywhere at once. So many wonderful people, so many incredible places. So much to do, so little time. Anyway, in true Kerouac style, I've sped on through taking cat naps here and there. I adore the open road. Driving really does make me happy. Point being, staying in a hotel tonight, meaning a bed.
Oh, wonderful bed.
Thoughts so far.
West Virginia really isn't that bad. In fact I'm a fan. Huntington's cool. Kentucky's beautiful. Tennessee's about as southern as you get. Skipped Nashville, another time. Memphis is wonderful.

With a little tlc it could be hoppin' in no time. Still in love with my car. She's still nameless.(Any suggestions? Something long that can be shortened into a nickname. Pictures to come.) Oklahoma kinda sucks. New Mexico's intriguing, kinda magical. Albuquerque's got this completely awesome edge that's only softened by the smallish population and heat.

Phoenix next, then LA.
(Pictures are not mine, camera cord is packed away in the bottom of my trunk.)

I prefer this ^ to this v

And then there's this,

'You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there. - Bob Marley'

And that explains the crush.
