It's not that I don't like it here in New York.. Keuka Lake, not far from my school in Rochester, is without a doubt my favorite place in the world. I have fond memories of those summers past, riding in the boat on a warm evening with the wind blowing through my hair, and that old cassette of Herb Albert playing in the distance, the sound almost unable to catch up to with that old Starcraft speedboat carving through the waters with ease. But I have grown unsettled and curious, eager to experience new things and expand my horizons. This unrelenting curiosity occupies my mind; when I am not at away from home, I am planning a trip on how I can get away. When I am away from home, I am probably planning my next big adventure. I like taking pictures. I mean, I really like taking pictures. I can be doing the coolest thing in the world but if I do not have my camera, I am miserable.
