I am in the midst of a project - photographing every morning before I leave for college - but this is more about the after, more about next year as a whole and all the years after. this is more of a mess. this is unstructured, which I am wary of but ultimately okay with. every day I exercise and I write down what I eat and I brush my teeth and my hair and I try to write a letter every day and I try to take a photo every day but I guess we'll just see how much I can keep up with in the end. today I helped other people feel good, taking photographs for people who have never been photographed. today I felt good overall, today the summer sun felt like it was worth it to get burned a little, today I stood out with my car door open talking for a half hour about nothing important.

The first Sunday of the summer and it is misty and gray, and I am slowly cleaning out my room, scrubbing away stains of the elementary years and the people whose ghosts linger on my walls Sundays are for spontaneous late nights, going on adventures with someone I used to be close to and hope to be close to again, because this is the last summer and I am hopelessly lost and found (two) 14 2012-06-17 17:26:04 2012-06-17 17:26:04 closed open sundays-are-for publish 0 0 post 0 2012 June words _edit_last 1 3 Giacovaccia [email protected] http://giacovaccia.tumblr.com/ 93.145.94.134 2012-06-20 14:08:53 2012-06-20 14:08:53 "and the people whose ghosts linger on my walls" This is just the most touching sentence I've read in a while. It makes me think of all those friends that you've lost in the past, that you now regret you've lost and that you can't help thinking that this was for good - even if then you cry every time you look at a picture of them. Don't you ever think about how easier it would be if there won't be any arguing with people in your future? 1 0 0 http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/2012/06/18/ Mon, 18 Jun 2012 19:25:36 +0000 admin http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/?p=18 "a kind of love that quiets the world" a kind of love that quiets evensongs and grows its own.

He gave me kind praises, some things he has said before and some things that were complete surprises, beautiful and powerful things. My mind was trying to write it all down but there were so many things. I need people to talk slowly to me when they're saying good things, I need them to let me write them down and hold them for later because my brain starts racing and whirring and then I get lost and can't keep track of everything. My brain starts to hurt. I need my notebook on me at all times but it wasn't there, the only thing I had was myself. But he told me good things and I listened and nodded too much and I didn't even have a camera but that's the portrait I should have taken, Andrei sitting across from me with the light spilling across his face from the window with words written on it. He said, "there are so many dead souls" and I believe it, there are so many people unwilling to live, especially in a place like New York where you should never get bored but people complain all the time that they are sucked into the daily grind and how could you be, when you're at the capital of the world and you've got five boroughs at your fingertips? There are people who better you everywhere, but you dictate your own path. You really do. Your decisions influence where you go. And I have known that before but it just made sense today. I ate my pizza too fast but it didn't matter, there were still things to be said. And so it went, like that, sitting in a bar that I'm not old enough to frequent yet, drinking Sprite that tasted like it was watered down with beer and nodding too much. Before today I was dreading college and I was afraid - unjustly so, but I was just afraid. I'm just nervous. About everything. And I know now, or I have acknowledged now, how much there is to do. Boring people get bored. Unimaginative people get bored. Next year, and all the years after that, it is my job to create whatever the hell I feel like creating and it's time.

I have wanted to take photos with this light forever, so tonight, on the (maybe) longest day of the year, I did. I earned a fair scattering of mosquito bites on my back, arms and legs, but I am pleased just because I did it and that's always the hardest part, the first time. <img class="size-full wp-image-28 aligncenter" title="web_MG_0423 copy" src="http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/web_MG_0423-copy.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="351" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31" title="web_MG_0431 copy" src="http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/web_MG_0431-copy.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="299" /> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29" title="web_MG_0434 copy" src="http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/wp- content/uploads/2012/06/web_MG_0434-copy.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="307" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30" title="web_MG_0446 copy" src="http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/web_MG_0446-copy.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="480" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">(five)</p> 27 2012-06-20 11:14:06 2012-06-20 11:14:06 closed open i-still-dont-know-if-today-is-the-longest-day-of-the-year-or-tomorrow-is publish 0 0 post 0 2012 June photographs words _edit_last 1 http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/2012/06/36/ Thu, 21 Jun 2012 18:20:03 +0000 admin http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/?p=36 Right now it is too hot to function and it's making me sleepy (six) 36 2012-06-21 18:20:03 2012-06-21 18:20:03 closed open 36 publish 0 0 post 0 2012 June words _edit_last 1 when it's pouring and you feel relieved http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/2012/06/when-its-pouring-and-you-feel-relieved/ Fri, 22 Jun 2012 23:15:35 +0000 admin http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/?p=39 because everything has felt fairly even and uneventful, because running across city streets and stopping under overhangs to breathe is good for you when you've been sleeping late to avoid yourself, laughing too hard and breathing short but happy because the sky broke straws with me for once (seven) 39 2012-06-22 23:15:35 2012-06-22 23:15:35 closed open when-its-pouring-and-you-feel-relieved publish 0 0 post 0 2012 June words _edit_last 1 and now http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/2012/06/and-now/ Sat, 23 Jun 2012 20:10:28 +0000 admin http://www.caitiborruso.com/daily/?p=42 this isn't a 365, I don't think, but I want it to be.
