Sleeping is busy business. Conveying that through this medium is brilliant… it would be interesting to produce a slideshow with a similar feel about some simple daily process.

Cultural adjustment plays out in plateaus for me; there are challenging moments, and then it levels again. It’s summer. It’s...

Alarmed, I went to get a glass with which to capture it for outside release. When I returned, it was nowhere in sight.
