15 years ago yesterday (thanks, FB memories) I set out to move to Los Angeles with one of my longtime friends on a trip that probably should have truly strained our friendship but only made it stronger, cuz we hung out yesterday and today lol. I hated every minute, except for a few brief moments of peace between my arrival in early October and departure in early February of the very next year. And hey, I can say I lived right near where someone did a HEAT style bank heist.
Honestly? Living in LA made me “get” David Lynch a little bit more. Moving back to Philly in 2012 just cemented it.
That period of bad decision making in my life totally lead me to where I am today, and that’s totally cool. And of course, it lead me back to NJ. 😅
These are 35mm shots I took in January of 2011. The last slide is my 96 Civic that I took from the East Coast to the West Coast and back. That car was AMAZING. RIP to that beast.
NJ and Philly and the tristate 4EVER.
