Two days later; Hurricane Irene came and went, thankfully leaving NYC intact with hardly any damages to take note of. To avoid any trouble, I had evacuated my Brooklyn apartment over the weekend and went upstate where I hoped to be safe from any flooding and the sort. We lost electricity over the first night and without any real light I spent most of my time in silent meditation. On Sunday I took advantage of the afternoon’s indirect light which allowed me to photograph some fun open-shutter style compositions.
