notes

I celebrated two years of photographing Ponce last month. My notebook is crammed full of scribbles, messages, quotes and random information. For a while, I kept a lot of it on a computer, but after my hard drive crashed and left me a widower, I've become accustom to keeping all my facts on paper.

The thing is bent and worn. It has a major spinal tear and sags from repeated water damage. It needed to be retired. In honor of 2009, my resolution was to replace the old book. I wrote the dates of use in the inside cover and put it on the shelf next to my old reportage notebooks.

I peeled back the packaging on the new Moleskin and wrote the opening date on the inside cover. Happy New Year.
