Great. More Pictures.

I tried to circumnavigate jetlag post flight by submitting myself to twenty-four hours of pre-flight wakefulness. Not one of my best ideas. By the time I climbed aboard a bus in Newark at 7:15 in the morning, about to embark on my six-hour tour of New York, I was irritable and nodding off upright. Looking back over my photos from that brief but inspired blink of my life, I realize that I perfectly captured, not the subject of each photo, but my mood: exhausted but insatiable, a hundred photos taken of a wall but all from the same straight-up vantage point. My physical expenditure was kept to a necessary minimum, so in response I seemed to have snapped photos of everything from the mandatory Statue of Liberty to scenes from the subway to a potted plant in a restroom. 

Most of the photos aren't that great, especially, interestingly, the ones I was most invested in at the time. I'm lucky to salvage a few of the above-mentioned wall that inspired such immediate obsession; many of the objects and novelties that captures one's eye when sleep-deprived are less than extraordinary under normal circumstances. So while I find this particular selection fascinating, I imagine that you, dear viewer, may not find yourself transported to my momentary frame of mind.
