What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?
It was dusk on a hot summer day. The orange sky was peering out from behind the New York City skyline, and I was smoking a cigarette and just enjoying the view. I was going through an emotional time in my life because I'd taken a road trip to the city with my boyfriend and best friends, and I made the decision to stay there along with my boyfriend. I was on the greatest adventure of my life, and this picture perfectly depicts all of that.
