Field Notes

On slow mornings

There is a particular quiet to early October mornings in the city, before the trains fill up and the convenience stores switch to their lunch rush. I walked the long way to the station today and did not regret it.

What I packed for the coast

Two books (finished neither), one film camera, and the naive belief that three days would be enough. It was not, but that is a good problem to have.

A short note on keeping a journal

Write badly, write briefly, but write often. Most entries will embarrass you in a year. That is how you know they were honest.
