Proverb of the Day

72. Smiles wait at the end of patience

(from Proverbs of the Sene-Gambian)
This is my apartment hunting mantra. I've seen the pitbulls and grime, now it's time for the glory.

Kinki tearsheets

This month I have a picture in a Swiss magazine, Kinki, accompanying a profile of my friend Nick Felton. This portrait is actually the first picture I took for my Working Life series, which is ongoing. All of my friend are slowly becoming super famous, so you should probably be a part of this project too. Let me know when's a good time.

Proverb of the Day

I started packing today. I don't know where I am going, but I definitely have to leave this place. While going through my books I found the little book of "Proverbs of the Sene-Gambia" that I found in the shelves at Camac in France this past June. I have no idea how it got all the way back to New York. But I know you have really missed the Proverbs of the Day. Calm down.

152. Better say earlier that you are afraid to go on the roads alone than going half way only to return to ask for company.

I agree with that. I love company. And if you had seen the terrifying apartment I did tonight you would agree we all need a little help from our friends.
