Lots of things are happening in Long Island City. You won't hear about them here though.
I’m going back to my position on only using this blog to update with things I’m working on. I let myself indulge for a month or two and used it as a vehicle for spreading around really mundane and fleetingly interesting things, but really, me reposting an image I get from ffffound.com, or dashing off a few sentences on how much I loved [whatever] new movie that 98% of Tumblr users also loved, is enriching no ones life, especially not my own.

The process of combing through the photos became much more interesting to me when I pretended that the animals weren’t real, and it was just Amelia imagining them - that somehow these photographs were able to capture just what animal she read about that day and decided she wanted to play with. It gets really gets fun once you hit the elephants.

Graham is pictured above at the height of our client induced mania.
