because of virus i move back to florida...
it's hard to be around family but i am good at finding things to do, today i rode my bike for a few hours and visited lots of little spots i hadn't seen in a long time. i realize how much i missed miami's shadows...
the humidity made it so that there were never any hard edges, it seemed as if shadows were always moving and dancing... lazy but happy.
back when maggie lived in her old apartment, she would only shower with the lights off and the window open. her shadow would fall over the edge of the tub, move across the floor, and crawl up the door.
back when i was in lyd's room eating chickpeas, tomatoes, eggs... we sat on the floor and i faced the window. i noticed how the shadow from her electric flower lights pointed towards us. their forms were exaggerated and if i looked only at the shadow i would think i was looking at pinecones. in my head i thought "you should remember this moment" but i remember thinking that more than i remember how i felt in that moment.
earlier today i went to jimmy's house. i didn't go inside, i just talked to him through his screen window. because of the light outside and the mesh of his screen, a shadow grid formed all over his face while he told me a funny story.
i took the picture above while i was biking back home, i had already decided to take as many pictures of shadows as possible. i took a route i had never been on before and found this little strange sitting area next to a hospital. the shadows made the red bricks seem purple.
