Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Living in a suburb,
he enjoys the hot humid summers
and the cold snowless winters.
He wears loose shirts
and blue jeans.
He smells the fresh air
as he plays around at school.
He runs around during summer
at summer cap with all the other kids.
In a car and pick-up,
he rides to school
and he rides to "the office" during summer.
Playing through, soccer,
baseball, and other sports,
his time in school was spent with these teams.
During the night
on every second day of the week,
he takes part in the martial arts he looked up to so much.
He loves the sno-cones vendor,
at the end of the road.
He shouts in joy at the amusement park and water rides,
both connected by a single bridge.
At nights you'll find him watching cartoons
and playing various videogames.
On weekends, he spends his time with friends,
and watches tv with his family.
Getting teeth cleaned by his mom,
and swimming with his dad,
he cares for both of them intensely.
The places he goes to seem so big
yet in truth are rather small.
Though the times spent here
some would consider simple and bland,
he loves them more then anyone else.


I chose to capture the 13 years I spent being born and raised in Louisiana before I moved to Kentucky. Although I spent most of my time at a number of small areas on the city, I always felt like each place had so much in it and felt so big. I felt that describing my times here in this city best showed what I felt the place was like. Even with the land there being flat and the seasons being not all that varied, I enjoyed every bit of my time playing there.
