This might be my favorite house in San Diego. I’ve featured it in a previous blog post. Can’t stop taking pictures of it. Yellow for bright and happy, flowers for promise, something Norman Rockwellian…

SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA: UNDERNEATH THE INSANE ASYLUM (21 Pilots, Pt. 4)

THE SOUNDTRACK TO MY THREE MONTHS OF LIVING IN COSTA RICA HAS BEEN ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY, THE 4 TWENTY ONE PILOTS’ ALBUMS: SELF-TITLED, VESSEL, BLURRYFACE, AND TRENCH. THIS UPCOMING 4-PART PHOTO SERIES WILL FEATURE CAPTIONS WITH THEIR LYRICS DESCRIBING AN EVEN DEEPER CONTEXTUALIZATION OF MY OVERALL PURE VIDA EXPERIENCE.

as it’s the fourth and final part of this series, i should probably mention that every photo in the entire series was shot from the hip. i never raised my camera to my eye. so, i never really knew what i was capturing until i got back to my room and went through them. 

IMG_7048
i can’t believe how much i hate. pressures of a new place roll my way. 

IMG_7039
no, we are not just graffiti on a passing train.

IMG_7040
this culture is a poacher of overexposure.

IMG_7042
i’ll morph to someone else. i’m just a ghost.

IMG_7044
hide you in my coat pocket, where i kept my rebel red. i felt i was invincible, you wrapped around my head.

IMG_7036
i’ve always been collected, calm, and chill. 

IMG_7029
i want you to follow me down to the bottom. underneath the insane asylum.

IMG_7035
sometimes i feel cold, even paralyzed. my interior world needs to sanitize.

IMG_7034
nice to know my kind will be on my side. i don’t believe the hype. and you know you’re a terrible sight. 

IMG_7033
i’m lighter when i’m lower. i’m higher when i’m heavy. 

IMG_7030
in city, i feel my spirit is contained

IMG_7031
i move slow, i want to stop time. 

IMG_7050
i’m sorry i did not visit. did not know how to take it. when your eyes did not know me. 

IMG_7047
i needed change of pace. couldn’t take the pace of change. 

IMG_7045
you’re loving on the psychopath sitting next to you. 

IMG_7027
you’re loving on the freakshow sitting next to you.

SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA: VESSEL (21 Pilots, PT. 2)

THE SOUNDTRACK TO MY THREE MONTHS OF LIVING IN COSTA RICA HAS BEEN ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY, THE 4 TWENTY ONE PILOTS’ ALBUMS: SELF-TITLED, VESSEL, BLURRYFACE, AND TRENCH. THIS UPCOMING 4-PART PHOTO SERIES WILL FEATURE CAPTIONS WITH THEIR LYRICS DESCRIBING AN EVEN DEEPER CONTEXTUALIZATION OF MY OVERALL PURE VIDA EXPERIENCE.

IMG_6882
i’ll stay awake, ’cause the dark’s not taking prisoners tonight.

IMG_6802
why am i not scared in the morning? i don’t hear those voices calling. i must have kicked them out…

IMG_6806
i’m insignificant.

IMG_6795
you think twice about your life. it probably happens at night, right?

IMG_6745
am i the only one i know waging my wars behind my face and above my throat? shadows will scream that i’m alone.

IMG_6943
behind my eyelids are islands of violence.

IMG_6778
life has a hopeful undertone.

IMG_6775
and since we know that dreams are dead, and life turns plans up on their head, i will plan to be a bum, so i just might become someone.

IMG_6879
sometimes quiet is violent.

IMG_6872
i’m forced to deal with what i feel, there is no distraction to mask what is real. 

IMG_6777
i find over the course of our human existence, one thing consists of consistence. and it’s that we’re all battling fear. oh dear, i don’t know if we know why we’re here.

IMG_6743
i’m semi-automatic. my prayer’s schizophrenic.

IMG_6750
i do not know why i would go in front of you and hide my soul, ’cause you’re the only one who knows it. 

IMG_6790
don’t wanna call you in the night time. don’t wanna give you all my pieces. don’t wanna hand you all my trouble. don’t wanna give you all my demons. you’ll have to watch me struggle from several rooms away. but tonight, i’ll need you to stay.

IMG_6870
i’ll never be what you see inside. you say i’m not alone, but i am petrified.  

IMG_6746
i can feel your breath. i can feel my death. i want to know you. i want to see. i want to say hello.
