stay together, learn the flowers, go light.

On a Saturday night at midnight, we decided to check out Brian’s children’s hospital.  Of course, we all had the same number of reasons for wanting to go, but I think primarily, Kapil wanted to see the fishtank, Thuc wanted the 24/7 ColdStone, and I just wanted to see the building & environment to give me visual context for all of Brian’s work stories.   I’ve realized that I’m very much a visual learner.  I have an internal compass when it comes to directions, because I think of each space as a map.  I have to copy down diagrams, underline keywords, and write out outlines to be able to digest new material.  It takes me a while to read a book, but I can remember anything if it’s in the form of a documentary (…or Tedtalk.)  In the same respect, I prefer to have visuals for my stories and experiences, which I guess makes my photography a way that I can celebrate and further my visual thinking. Oh, my love for environments.  So, the next time I ask you if I can see your workplace, your school, or the house you grew up in, now you’ll know why.
