I made this little guy to enhance the sound of my iPhone. And believe it or not, it actually works quite well.

This capital is in between the courtyard of the art and architecture building. It is an interesting counterpoint to the brutalist architecture surrounding it.

So here it goes. I have recently turned over a new leaf of observation. It all began when I decided to take out my headphones when I walk to class. It was a simple change that opened my senses to the world. Beyond listening to the sounds around me, I started feeling things too. I have started paying attention to the textures of objects as I pass by, often by simply running my fingers along their surface as I walk.
In doing this I have made a specific effort to look for beautiful moments in often overlooked moments.
