I recently went through the pictures on my phone and looked back on some moments from the past few months. In the collection of memories, I stumbled upon a photograph of my family and I walking along a trail (pictured below) just before we went into lockdown for COVID-19. Although […]

I make a lot of music but I don’t usually share it with anyone. I’ve been learning for the past year or so now and I can definitely say I’ve improved a lot but I probably won’t feel comfortable putting a finished product out until I make something really incredible […]
It is a standard summer morning for the residents of a highly populated metropolis: the streets are humming with the hurried pace of footsteps as men, women, and children head towards work and school. So profound is the peace of this regularity that not even the slightest discrepancy […]
I’ve lived on Long Island my whole life, and I probably visit the city about a dozen times a year, but I never felt like a New Yorker (tying back to a class theme here haha). The reason I would go into the city would always be for a tourist-y […]
Here is one of my favorite pictures that I’ve taken of New York City from Governor Island, when I volunteered as an Island Ambassador on Governor Island summer of 2019. Seen in the distant across the East River is obviously the One World Trade Center as well as other skyscrapers […]

There is principle in not being confined to a uniform, with fears stemming back to the nazi categorization system forcing many to […]
At 1:30 PM on Monday, September 21st, 2020, artists Gan Golan and Andrew Boyd unveiled their newest art piece in Union Square, NYC: The Climate Clock. The ticking time time bomb estimates that our planet only has around seven years left before it is completely depleted of its carbon budget […]
Hey guys! I recently went to an art gallery that was composed of laser lights. It was an immersive experience and a mesh between science and art that I truly enjoyed. This was over in Chelsea, Manhattan at the Artechouse. It was overwhelming in a unique way; the video I’m […]
Smoke (1995) revolves around the Cigar store of a Brooklyn native, Auggie (Left). I decided the store location (Right), which is located on 16th St and Prospect Park West, in Brooklyn, was worth a visit. As it turns out, the store today is a newly-established bakery, with a newly-painted white […]
