Suburbia: Cedar Hill - ROCT

In June 2014, I decided to come up a photojournal that took me to various parts of my home, the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. The size of Connecticut and Rhode Island and home to 6.5 million people, there's a lot between the highways and skyscrapers.

Dallas County, my homestead and the most urban county in this part of Texas. I'm spending the next three weeks here in Cedar Hill, house-sitting for a teacher friend while she visits relatives in Canada. Makes me feel like a "real" adult, a provides a taste of self-sufficiency. While I'm here, I decided to take a look around, now that I can drive.

The Fault in Our Stars

Complete spoilers ahead

My friend Lupe lent me the book while in Denton on August 31, 2013.

North2Denton PhotoJournal - Part Four

7PM. Ninety-five degrees.

The A-Train arrived at Carrollton just before 6:55PM. The sun was lower in the sky now; you could venture outdoors without burning to death. The light rail station was busy with people getting off the A-Train, waiting for the northbound Green Line train to come up from downtown.

North 2 Denton: A PhotoJournal - Part Three

Out in the wild, I had nowhere to go.

Instead of taking my chances in Greater Denton, I stayed close. Walking parallel to Oak Street, I looked in the windows of the shops on the northern end of the Square. Window-shopping is no fun when it’s just you and the knowledge that you’re broke as fuck.

Back to Black

Time to get turnt up!

In January last year, I decided that it was best to drop all of what had caused me to start this precious jewel in the first place. I came to that conclusion 50% naturally, 90% Lupe's scorn. I think I've been doing pretty well in the year and six months since, A+ really.

Every now and again, old habits slip in like a son-of-a-bitch.

Back with a Bang

Hi there.

It's been a long time, huh? 

I'm glad to tell you that I'll start posting regularly again. I've done some housekeeping in regards to older posts that I could not stand or found otherwise embarrassing. Some were just awful looking back.

Starting with this week: finishing up all the orphaned posts, along with finishing the North2Denton and Downtown photo logs, along with adding some more.

And if you've noticed: the blog has been slightly redesigned. Just anticipate a major redesign later on this year!


Just be on the lookout now! Celebrating FOUR YEARS OF THE ESF, looking forward to FIVE! :D

This! One

The following post is rated 18+O for scenes of disturbing physical deformities and drug intake.

Introducing a new feature to the ESF: this! A weekly(?) feature giving videos and stories that need a signal boost to inform people about certain things or events going on around this great blue ball of ours.

In this first edition of this!, comes "Siberia: Krokodil Tears", from New York-based VICE.

ESF Photo Series: "Downtown"

Originally scheduled for May, but I've found the files!

North to Denton: A PhotoJournal - Part Two

THIS WEEK, WE CELEBRATE ONE YEAR OF UNIVERSITY PRESS.

Between us, I'm surprised that it's gone this long (if you ignore the fact I haven't published since July.)
