Tsakali Time

 Happy New Year to all.  Back to the blog because I can finally breathe again. College apps are done (basically). I finished all the supplemental essays for everything due at the start of January. I was in my grindset over winter break. Going to the New York Public Library basically every day to finish the supps. Worth it so I didn't have to stress out over them on New Years Eve.  I didn't update the blog at all because I kept telling myself that I should be working on college apps instead of writing a silly little blog post. So please excuse my absence. I will be more consistent now that the nightmare is over.  On the Show Situation..      Since the start of the school year I haven't been going to many shows. Apologies. But it is due to the college application process, as per usual. But I am back, or, I am going to be back. I can allot myself more free time finally. YAY!      One slight temporary issue: my camera is broken again. The sh...

Ok we are back. Sorry y'all, I know you guys have missed the blog content. I was ultra busy.  All my senior (and high school graduate) buddies know the stress of college apps. Man. I died. This is what I felt like: Photo from Seans: hommage á Antonin Artaud (1977) But now early decision and early action is done. Can breathe a tad, but not for long because REGULAR DECISION is coming up. Slowly crawling, scampering, creeping up on me and everyone applying to college. September felt like 4 months, October was stress filled, and now that those two have passed I have my eyes set on January. Every time I get stressed out thinking about CSS, how one of my teachers still hasn't submitted his rec, having to write unending supplemental essays, and all that, I just think about how free I'm going to feel in January . Second semester is going to be so nice, I'm already fantasizing about it. I'm going to talk some more about college stuff cuz obvi it's been on my mind.  I w...

I’m back!!!! to writing my blog soz for not updating thissss I’m in Greece! I left NYC on June 29th and I will be retuning on September 3rd.  I am currently in Athens staying at my grandparents place as I do every summer but this year I brought a buddy! Sophia Mueller. She left on July 10th so she's gone now but she was staying with us in Athens for like a week and then she meandered back to Germany where she’ll stay for most of the rest of the summa. While she was here I got to unabashedly do tourist stuff. Y’know I had never walked up the Acropolis before like whattt, I should have done that when I was younger. What I did do when I was younger was go to the Acropolis museum in 2015. Here are pics of before (9 y/o) and after (17 y/o). This is the longest we are staying in Athens, we usually only stay for like… a week but this time we’re staying for two weeks and we leave for Chios (the island with my dad’s side of the family) on July 15th. At the time of writing this it is July 14...

 It's been a while, I just finished my final big assignment for school yesterday and a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have some other physics work to do but that's due on the 16th so I have time. The only regents I'm slightly worried about is physics because I have to remember all the units for each symbol but that's on the 22nd, so again, lots of time, no stress. But now I have free time! I will be going to many a shows and might even go to a party or two until I leave for Greece-which is very soon. I leave on the 29th of June and I return September 3rd. I won't be going to any summer shows and I will be getting badddd fomo. But I'm balancing out the fomo with posting photos of the beach every time I see show photos.  It's going to be particularly sad that I won't be here for the summer because all the bands with high school seniors will probably break up once they leave for college. This summer basically woulda been my last chance to captu...

Good day to you my blog! I have so much to blog not enough time to blog it... Firstly: I'M GOING TO BE PHOTOGRAPHING THE GARDEN AT IRVING PLAZA ON MAY 2ND!!!!  I've been a fan for a while and I went to their last two concerts in NYC (Warsaw and Brooklyn Steel) so I can't believe they saw my photos and liked them enough to let this teenager shoot their big official concert for a day.  One of the reasons I started doing show photography was because of @muhstee who photographed both of those garden shows I went to- after that I followed them and been loving their photography ever since. [side note: I've been trying to go to a show that @muhstee was going to be at for literal months, I have yet to succeed.] I bought a new camera for the occasion. Granted, it's the same exact model as the camera I usually use but I'm hoping the condition is better.  The first camera I bought was in perfect condition, but then it fell one too many times and the motor broke so I had to...

 Good day to you! I (Konstantina) have decided to start a blog. I have many ideas that deserve  to be shared with the world but since I've deleted the instagram app (i can still go on browser) I haven't been able to simply post them on my story- the HORROR. 😱😱  ALSO, credit to Max Hoyt for his blog Annoyed Freud Lloyd (https://annoyedfreudlloyd.blogspot.com/) which inspired me to make this. Hypothetically, I could just keep all my thoughts to myself. But that's BORINGGG!!! Instead of keeping it all bottled up in my notes app, I will share my opinions and reviews and upcoming projects and whatever here in this wonderful oasis! While I'm at it, here are some of my accounts on the worldwide web: Instagram: @konstantuba AND @images.konstantina  Spotify: @konstantuba maybe?? I'm not sure, here's the link ⇨  https://open.spotify.com/user/fromallthetruththatisaid?si=a5f0c4b6033a48e7  I share my spotify with two friends from greece- so if you see me listenin...
