on december 30th, 2024 i booked a spontaneous roundtrip from los angeles to new york city - no hotel no sleep. just me and my camera. my only charger for iphone and camera had coca cola spilled on it on the flight to jfk by the man next to me - got soaked in rain from head to toe with no change of clothes for the whole night - found out at midnight there are no fireworks in the city - almost got hit by a glass bottle during a fight on 8th street at 1:30am - yet i would do it all over again. 2025, what’s good!
