After spending the first 14 months of the pandemic in Florida and
Georgia, I moved back to NYC in May of 2021. Why? Still not really sure.
I have been in and out of the city since 2016 and was feeling the pull again;
NYC has a tendency to draw you in once you’ve spent time there. And I was ready
to be around more people. Who knows how long I’ll be here this time.
Depression struck after I moved up, but that story is one that’s better told in
its own post (I’m okay now). It’s why I don’t really have any pictures from the
Summer and only a couple in NYC.
I went to Georgia for Thanksgiving, to hang out with the fam and camp. Then I
took two weeks off at the end of December. That time off was the most
restorative experience I’d had in a while. I had a very strong creative
resurgence as I was coming out of my depression in October; taking time off only
pronounced that. I began editing travel videos from my Year Off
and I started playing music again. Not to spoil 2022 but so far it has
been a deeply satisfying year of making things.
The Milky Way isn’t visible this time of year but the stars are still bright as
ever.
These woods are just across the street from the lake house but when we’re over
there it feels like a whole different place.
These pop up in the yard and only survive a day or two.
I took this a week before I moved up to NYC.
I found the best apartment to rent, complete with porch where I can lay in my
hammock and work read or nap.
Our tradition of meeting at the lake for a week every summer continues!
Nicole visited NYC and we got to spend a couple of days together. We
hadn’t seen each other since leaving Morocco in 2018!
I got to dogsit for some friends during a long weekend. Don’t tell
Denali.
This was my first time vising the office since February of 2020.
I took this from a friend’s apartment in Brooklyn.
This would unfortunately be our last Thanksgiving with Granny ❤️.
And their dog, Sandy.
Needed a new Tinder pic.
Price and
Sara.
This is my Dad. He sometimes makes videos while riding on a tractor.
TBD whether he actually likes the overalls I bought him but I think they’re
cool.
