I'm Alex Nordenson. I'm from Minneapolis (a fantastic city, and no, it's not in the corn fields), I went to college in Boston, spent a semester in Cape Town, South Africa, and am now a resident of New York City. I studied English, but I don't want to be a professor (or unemployed). Crazy huh? I started this blog for a few reasons, but mainly because...

I enjoy sharing things with people. In particular, I enjoy sharing:

Exciting thoughts.
Music.
Enthusiasm.

On this blog, undoubtedly among other undetermined initiatives, I will be sharing these things. You don't necessarily have to grab and take in what I'm sharing, but I'll be leaving it out there for the taking nonetheless. I hope what I share will provide thought and joy to some, but most of all, I hope sharing it will aid me in my endless, menacing struggle with all the stuff there is in this world to think about.

Also, because most of my friends and all of my family don't reside in New York, I'd like to keep them at least partially in the loop. You know.
My grandfather, John Watts Nordenson, passed away a week ago. These three pictures were proudly displayed at his funeral in Minneapolis this past weekend. I don’t think photographs today can possibly replicate, or legitimately emulate, the authenticity and humanity of these shots. I’m also biased.

Makes you wanna get a dog and move to Minnesota, eh?
