Observing New York

I am, as I write, sitting in the Juilliard computer lab, which is natural a place as any. I am also listening to Depeche Mode, which may seem like a diversion from the task at hand, but I don’t think so. Music is part of most of my visits to the computer lab, [...]

Blog #1 – Peter Anderson

Every since I was born, the strongest force teaching me about nature has been America’s media. Articles, news stories, and T.V. shows have greatly impacted the way I think about nature. I grew up in Maryland, a place with many nature escapes, forests, and wildlife preserves. My exposure to these things has [...]

[I can't think of a title]

Nature, as an idea, didn’t feature significantly in my childhood, at least as I recall it. I gained whatever early associations I made with “nature” from walks my elementary classes occasionally took in the “school forest,” a parcel of land available to the district. My family also went for walks, but these seemed mundane [...]
