Lonely with everybody around
I live in one of the most populated cities in the world. But within this city, I have seen and experienced the most prolific solitude of my life. Not only personally have I felt the most individualized and lonely, but on the streets of New York, I have seen the mask of loneliness and solitude crafted on so many people. I don't think I understood what loneliness is until I lived in this city.
New York is about going after an individual goal. Most, almost all, of the wonderful people that I have met are all here because they made a decision to do something big in their life, they are committed to creating something bigger than themselves, achieving a goal, chasing a dream, proving something to themselves or others. This is a kinship that is shared within this city. But at times, the pursuit of something - all of the chasing, proving, achieving, and creating can have the side effect of loneliness.
But loneliness is a word with such indication. It's definition, sound and even the look of the word, two l's standing high amongest a mess of smaller case letters, is sad and slightly pitiful. At times, yes, it is the right word for how I feel in this city. But in this post, i think a better word is solitude.
The side effect of exploration right now for me is......solitude.
And I'd rather not judge that as good or bad.

Aline Smithson photographer
I've fallen in love with the photography of Aline Smithson. Wit, simple, and very full.
Check out the "Arrangement in Green and Black: Portrait of the photographer's mother series"

what bombing looks like....
My breath was taken away by this photo of a bombing strike. I am not making a political statement, my knowledge of the conflict is not great enough for that. I am just awed by the horror and the beauty.
