What is more beautiful that a pitch black sky speckled with stars than the colorful array of fireworks? Brightening the air.

Fourth of July July 4th, 2017
There is nothing as impressive, on the 4th of July, then the Bristol Parade. The oldest 4th of July parade in America. This was its 232nd year.

After a fun 4th of July with my friends. It is time to go back to Long Island, for a few days to visit my hometown. And see some more friends and family.
Day One Hundred And Seventy Three
Fawkes July 6th, 2017
A bunch of my hometown friend's play in band's together. Urbanoid and Fawkes; to be specific. Tonight for the first time in a long time both bands played together. The venue was okay. They were literally set up between two bathrooms in front of the beach, which looked out towards the Long Island Sound. It was great to see my friends again. Even at this strange venue.
Day One Hundred And Seventy Four
Fountains July 7th, 2017
There is something very beautiful about a classically molded fountain with water slowly splashing out. It is very soothing.

The night of my last day back on Long Island I realized I had never taken a photo of the day. My 7-year-old nephew Eoin obliged me.

Orient Point Light July 10th, 2017
It takes me about 4 hours to get to my home in Rhode Island from my hometown on Long Island. The Cross Sound Ferry is perfect. Making a long trip feel like two medium trips.

Lily July 11th, 2017
Morning showers are beautiful. Sometimes.
Day One Hundred And Seventy Nine
Grill July 12th, 2017
Late night barbecue. The only illumination was coming from the flames and the flashlight from my phone. I'd like to say that these burgers were amazing. But it cooked too fast, and basically became hockey pucks.
Day One Hundred And Eighty
Carabiners July 13th, 2017
These carabiners were used to hang a string of outdoor lights. But. Some sort of animal (I'm assuming a squirrel) chewed up the wire, cutting it. So now this rope hangs bare. With only carabiners waiting for future use.

Red July 22nd, 2017
This makes me think about Autumn more than anything. Which seems strange in late July.
Day One Hundred And Ninty
Lumber July 23rd, 2017
This is on the edge of a gorgeous forest preserve. Very weird and jarring to see clear cutting here. I wonder what they are building.

I freaking love this flower.
Day One Hundred And Ninty Two
Chamber July 25th, 2017
I found this stone chamber unexpectedly, while I was hiking around a local graveyard.
Day One Hundred And Ninty Three
Order July 26th, 2017
While I was in preschool I was involved in a musical play based on the "Aristocats". (I do not directly remember this) My mom told me that I had been told by a teacher to stand on a line while I was on stage. At that moment I did not care about what else was going on during the play. I just needed to stay on this line. I wonder if this experience has in any way constructed how I view the world.
When I see this photo for example; I like the order of the stakes. Of all the bottles. The fruit, tap handles, and the vertical hanging lights. Nothing else in this photo matters.

Theater July 27th, 2017
"We all need illusions. That's why we love movies."
-Monica Bellucci
I agree with this quote. I love movies. I love the separation of what we would like to see in our life compared to what is real.

Mesh July 28th, 2017
Macrophotography is magnificent. Showing a level we can not easily see. In a sense a hidden world underneath our own.
Day One Hundred And Ninty Six
Cherry Juice July 29th, 2017
I love horror. Movies, games, stories, etc. I love the excitement. Your adrenaline is raising. Your flight or fight mechanism is going off. There is so much enjoyment that comes from the mystery of the unknown.

Chocolate Milk July 30th, 2017
When you need your sugar fix.
Day One Hundred And Ninty Eight
Bristol Lamp July 31st, 2017
I a proud of this lamp. I added the map of Bristol, RI simply cutting a tapping it to the lamp shade. You can see the rough edges from the scissor. The light highlights each line on the topographic map.
