I was fresh out of college. Based on the fact I’m wearing that big white petticoat, I’d venture to say it was around 2005. I wore that damn thing everywhere. Once, I wore it to bed. Before it was mine, it belonged to an 85 year old lady who liked to square dance.

That’s my city in the background. Raleigh. It will always be my city, my home. We climbed to the top floor of a parking deck to take this picture. I ran around barefoot,  past the hot dog stand on Hargett and through the grass in Moore Square.

Later on this same day, we climbed into an abandoned halfway house through a broken window. The dining room had the most amazing wallpaper I’d ever seen and we took this picture.

Love,

M
