diary of a mustache

week 3

♥

new york is the thing that seduced me

new york is the thing that formed me

new york is the thing that deformed me

new york is the thing that perverted me

new york is the thing that converted me

..and new york is the thing i love too

a little prayer for new york

while this may be my first self-portrait on here, i can guarantee you it will not be the last.  more than for vanity's sake, this continuing series is equal parts an exercise and an exploration of self, especially pertaining to time and change.  there is also an element of seduction, or rather, self seduction..

this photo was taken this morning as i was getting out of the shower.  i realized that it had been exactly a week since i started growing out my mustache.  for someone who does not have much body hair, this is a source of fascination.  it feels like a reinvention of sorts and i am rather enjoying it.  perhaps in another week, i will make another post to show you my progress.

i took this photo this afternoon on chrystie street after leaving terence koh's AsiaSongSociety gallery.  i don't suppose i need to say anything more..

hello fellow time travelers!  i am making my first entry into the blogosphere and i probably couldn't have made a more appropriate one if i tried.  this is what happens when you have gummy bears for breakfast and you start playing with your food.  it wasn't until i was almost done with the entire bag this morning that i thought

..maybe I should take a picture of this!

so there you have it.  my first post and a proper one at that.  this is more or less what you can expect to find as i try to document this journey of mine.

♥ all the love
