Sometimes i love it, sometimes i think it's overrated, but most times i am just overwhelmed. Slowly getting used to the rhythm of this city. And I'm finding my own pace in this conglomeration of languages and cultures . Regretfully, I haven't taken as many pictures as I would like. When I am not working for Ben Lowy, I am spending time with family and friends. I fear homesickness. And it's nice to have something I am so used to in a place so foreign from my own.

I'm dying to see the country—to see the horizon. Texans are so lucky to have the country, the hills, the cactus, the pine trees, the beaches, the plains. I feel privileged to have that and be able to look at it and be entertained with just a pen and paper. While I feel (and I don't mean to judge and say this is true for most), but I feel locals always have to be entertained because there's so much stimulus. There is always something going on—a play, restaurant, street fair, B&N closes at 12 am, the park, yoga, parties. I love it, but it's exhausting. What I plan to do in the course of a week, in new york i can do it all in 1 day.

Today I panicked. I got on the subway too late and the doors closed on my bag and the train started moving! I couldn't pull my bag out. The guy sitting down next to me pulled me inside. Ah, it was scary.

Right now I should be pitching my photo story ideas to Marvi. Like what publication should the story be published and for what reason. Here are my ideas: Dogs and their owners (see photo below), dance at Julliard (find an angle there), unique exercise opportunites in ny such as trapeze class and pole dancing class, speed dating in ny, subway musicians. That's what I have so far.

Better get started.
