Even though it is a short work week I *so* don't want to be here.

Maybe it's the bombing in Bali, the sniper, the smallpox scare, or the coming war. No matter. I just feel that there may not be enough time to do all the things I desire.

Yesterday Darla and I explored the Augustinian Academy on Staten Island. We first went there last November, but we were too scared to go inside. This time we braved it and if the photos turn out I'll post a few here. We learned a few things: 1. bring a tripod 2. bring a flashlight 3. bring a machete (for the weeds...) and 4. travel in pairs (there were gaps in the floor that went straight through to the basement).

In my dreams I will make photographs as gorgeous as S. Baliani or Henk van Rensbergen. One day.
