i.cant.keep.doing.this.to.myself.
There must be something wrong with me.
I get so tired, I can’t sleep.
The voices in my head are haunting my dreams.
No matter how I try,
To kill the thoughts inside.
I cannot, I cannot, hide.
The mirror staring back at me.
The cracking lines along my face.
The times I try to get things straight, but could not.
I know how hard I try,
To keep myself alive.
But I don’t know, I don’t know why…
Funny how,
When the darkest of nights falls down.
Worry that I will never see.
The sun is shining again.
The world goes round,
What was up is again back down.
Wonder if I could stick around,
Feel the light of the day…
Sometimes I feel like I am,
Dying, down here.
I feel a raging storm,
Inside of my skin.
The dial tone is there
But no one’s calling…
I feel the weight of time,
Wonder when I will die.
But I don’t know, I don’t know why…

Asbury Park
This place brings back so many memories every time I go here. Memories from Skate and Surf, Warped Tours, the first time I saw Circa Survive, Saves The Day , Coheed and Cambria, New Found Glory, Bamboozle 05’ and so many more. it’s weird to think all of those things were so many years ago. Asbury Park has definitely changed its looks from 2002 - now.
This is a really good friend of mine, Tara. She is absolutely amazing at taking photographs. It always inspires me to photograph film when i’m around her. She just got a new Widelux ( which is shown in the photo ) and can’t wait to see the photos when she develops.
Tara took this photograph of myself. Sitting in Convention Hall after eating Twisted Tree ( high recommend if you’re vegan ) is my favorite thing ever. In this photo I was also shooting with my Canon EOS 1 with my 50 1.4 - can’t wait to develop.

Saves The Day!
As of April 24th i’ve been following the Saves The Day / Alkaline Trio tour, and on the New Jersey date of the tour I was able to photograph Saves The Day. This band in so many different ways made me who I am today. I couldn’t thank them enough for the things they’ve done for me. Thanks to Steven Hall, you can view some of the photographs from that night on www.savestheday.com
