Nature Tour of Princeton, NJ
I've gotten back into walking/jogging and have also taken my camera along with me so that you all can see what I see. It's amazing how snapshots, or rather moments have become important in our lives as mortals. Having a sense of our mortality gives us reason to look back...represented as historical snapshots...like Rosa Parks for example. Many people see Rosa Parks as the lady who was too tired to give up her seat on a bus some years ago. But she was more than that: an active, high-ranking figure in the NAACP, and a strong equal rights activist with white political connections to back her. She purposefully didn't get up from her seat. We need these images to shape our perspective on history. Society is so complex, so mobile, always in flux: pictures capture what we want to remember, factual from a certain point of view, yet always lacking in detail...

You should quit school and be a photographer. Fantastic pictures! Just kidding, but they are beautifully framed.
