These are a pair of revived photographs from the Summer of 2004. That summer was especially good and I believe just because so many things were so particular to that specific period of time, that every image and every smell that can be associated with it is that much deeper, as cheesy as that is. I could write an essay on that, but that's not the point.

I feel as though I have reached this point. I have been in Germany for almost three months now. Naturally I miss familiar faces and places, but most of all I look backwards and I miss these extremely romantic parts of my life. Like that summer. Being in Germany, or Europe in general, is a romantic thing, right? But that's not what I mean. I mean, it's different. I am experiencing Germany right now and I do not even think that it is all sinking in. I won't feel this romantic draw to Germany until after I get back home and then I get to miss this, what I have right now.

So I sit here in my room and ruminate about good times and good friends that I am missing out on. I should really just be doing lots of really special things here, so that I'll be able to go back home and ruminate about good times and good friends that I am missing out on.
