mid the ongoing controversy over Princeton Community Television and the municipality’s decision to stop using cable franchise fees to fund the station, one immediate change has been that PCTV no longer provides video of municipal meetings. In early June councilman David Cohen told the Echo’s sister paper, U.S. 1, that the municipality was now doing its own videography at

been a long time coming. After a pedestrian fatality there in October, 2017, improvements were undertaken at the intersection, but those led only to more confusion as a person looking to cross in any direction at the intersection is now forced to press a button in order to generate a walk sign.

Previous attempts to use the EPP format there have been denied by the state DOT — which has jurisdiction over Nassau Street because it is a state highway, Route 27 — citing concerns about increased traffic congestion. But in June the state finally said yes, and large posters at the intersection instructed pedestrians to push a button to trigger the EPP. Pedestrians then had 39 seconds to make it through the intersection.

At the June 10 Princeton Council meeting there was more good news for the downtown scene. Just in time for the onslaught of summer visitors and tour groups, Council passed an ordinance regulating parking for tour busses, which have for years been an eyesore and traffic nuisance as they idled on Nassau Street awaiting their passengers’ return. No more: tour busses now must park on designated parts of Alexander Street between University Place and the southernmost entrance to the Dinky train station, at a rate of $20 per hour. Fines for parking outside of this zone are up to $2,000.

rinceton Community TV (PCTV) is another of Princeton’s jewels in jeopardy. It broadcasts on Comcast Channel 30 and Verizon FIOS Channel 45. Many people don’t fully appreciate its importance. When cablevision was set up, in return for the use of the public right-of-way for hanging its cable, it was agreed that cable television would pay a “rental fee,” and that free public and governmental access channels would be supported by this fee.

When cablevision came into its own I was very aware of all this because my dad, Bill Cherry, was a physicist at RCA Good news in the CBD here was some good news in June who had worked on the color TV, and for the often maligned downtown he was also a member of Township Committee. He was chosen to become intersection of Nassau Street, Washchair of the cable TV committee and to ington Road, and Vandeventer Avenue. negotiate an agreement for free public After multiple rejections in the past access, which has been in place ever several years, the state Department of since. Over the dinner table my dad Transportation finally agreed to test would talk about the importance of an “Exclusive Pedestrian Phase,” or public access as a source of freedom of EPP, at the intersection. During an EPP speech and discourse about all kinds of all drivers have a red light, allowing issues. pedestrians to cross the street in any When I returned to Princeton in direction, including diagonally.

ongratulations to all the candidates who participated in the Princeton Council Democratic Primary this June.

As an independent Democratic candidate for Princeton Council, I look forward to the general election in November when all Princeton voters get to decide who will represent them.

We need a fresh, unaligned, and not a conflicted voice concerning municipal issues.

An independent will bring competency, transparency, and the urgent need to make Princeton affordable.

Competence for municipal projects, transparency for all public undertakings, and the fiscal determination to make Princeton livable for all people are my goals. Someone is needed who will question past practices that do not advance the welfare and stature of Princeton.

My priorities shall be schools, safety, taxes, and housing. Too often there is inaction by Council members. We need to send them a message in November.

ics, and citizens with a wide varieties of expertise and perspectives. Popular shows have included “Back Story with Joan Goldstein,” “Perdidos in America”, “Education Roundtable”, “Breezing with Bierman,” and many others. And PCTV has easy-to-use cameras to lend out, along with camera training, editing, lighting and sound production; there are many opportunities for those interested in videography.

With consolidation PCTV was asked to pay rent out of its cable income and then to become a 501(c)(3). Then Council indicated that it wanted to redirect some of the cable fees to the town treasury, and then all the fees. I hope that the current impasse can be resolved and that our town will continue to support PCTV’s free public access by passing through much of the cable fees as originally intended.

The fact is that if we don’t continue to direct cable fees to support public access, the cable industry has begun to say that, then, maybe the industry should stop paying these fees. Let’s not shut the door on one of the key avenues of community discourse, but instead expand and promote its programming.

I urge Princeton Council to continue working on an agreement with PCTV. Kip Cherry Dempsey Avenue

a much lower cost than what the town paid for PCTV’s services.

But dedicated viewers of town council meetings, planning board proceedings, and the like may have noticed in recent weeks that no videos had been posted online since the May 28 council meeting — despite verbiage on the town website that videos would be posted within 10 days of each meeting. The reason? The audio equipment wasn’t working.

Meanwhile, letters from PCTV’s supporters have continued to roll in.

ne thing is certain: Princeton Council will have two new members after the November 5 election. Tim Quinn, the lone incumbent seeking re-election, was the lowest vote-getter in the June 4 Democratic primary with 1,318 votes. Newcomer Mia Sacks received the most votes with 1,814, followed by Michelle Pirone Lambros, who ran unsuccessfully for council in 2018, with 1,469 votes.

There are no Republicans in the race, but Sacks and Lambros are not guaranteed spots on Council come November.

They will be joined on the general election ballot by Adam Bierman, who ran last year as a Democrat but this year has entered the race as an independent.

The winners will replace Quinn and current Council president Jenny Crumiller, who did not seek re-election.

Following the primary Bierman submitted the following letter:

ne year ago the Echo was chronicling the struggles of Hawthorne Avenue resident Galina Chernaya, whose prized century-old maple trees faced an uncertain future after developers at the adjacent property disregarded ordinances related to tree protection during demolition (The Echo, July 2018).

An investigation last summer by Princeton’s Shade Tree Commission found the developer at 260 Hawthorne, Roman Barsky, to be in violation of the tree protection ordinance and concluded that construction workers had excavated far closer to the property line than called for in the building plan, damaging the roots of Chernaya’s trees at 258 Hawthorne.

A year later Chernaya’s trees still stand — for now — and the home next door went on the market for $1,549,000 in May, listed by Ingela Kostenbader of Weichert Realtors. But the struggle is not over for the maples. “We were

The new home constructed by R.B. Homes at 260 Hawthorne Avenue is now on the market for $1,549,000. The 4,012-square-foot house has a two-car garage, five bedrooms, and four bathrooms.

9,000-square-foot lot includes a backyard with access to Ewing Street.

After noting that several other trees were damaged or removed during the construction process, Chernaya points out the great irony she sees in the listing for 260 Hawthorne: “On a quiet tree-lined street a brand new home has been constructed with amazing thought to detail.”

anxiously waiting for spring to see the extent of the construction damage,” Chernaya says.

“While all trees showed a delay in leafing out one of the five impacted maples has been showing signs of serious decline. As a result the municipal arborist authorized removal of three dead limbs from that tree. Fortunately we didn’t have to pay for it since last year’s legal action against RB Homes resulted in a court order to post a $5,000 performance bond for 24 months. It is likely that this tree will not survive another winter and we will have to cut it down next spring.”

Liberty Island gets a tiger makeover

By Aliza Alperin-Sheriff

A

fter September 11, 2001, most visitors to Liberty Island found themselves without much to do. Due to security concerns, visitors were no longer allowed to enter the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal, much less climb up into the statue’s iconic crown.

Although both the pedestal and the crown have since been reopened to the public, access remains limited and people must make reservations in advance to acquire one of the small number of tickets to visit either the pedestal or the crown.

As a result, millions of people who travelled to the island each year left disappointed. Nicholas Garrison, the lead architect of the Statue of Liberty Museum, which opened in May, hopes the new museum will change that. Garrison, a Princeton resident, said, “It was our idea to add to the experience of the island in addition to making a museum — that people would have a better day and experience as part of our project.”

Garrison grew up in a large Catholic family in Seattle. His father worked for Boeing as an efficiency expert and his mother stayed home and raised the family’s eight children. He described

Princeton resident Nicholas Garrison, an architect with New York City-based FXCollaborative, led the team that designed the recently opened Statue of Liberty Museum on Liberty Island.

his mother as having “great connections to the Lord above,” that is to say, a very religious woman who kept the family together and his father as “a larger than life person who loved people and kids.” In addition to his day job,

the elder Garrison was an inventor who designed several patented mechanical devices, an amateur biologist who planted 150 fruit and nut trees, and an artist who drew large cartoons on the basement walls of the family’s house.

Garrison inherited his father’s artistic streak. As a child he loved drawing, painting, and making things with his hands. He decided to find a career that would integrate his love for drawing after a visit to an uncle’s law office where he decided that he never wanted to do something so boring. At first he wanted to be a mapmaker. The family had a National Geographic atlas that he loved to look at, and he even tried drawing his own maps. He was disappointed to learn that mapmaking, to the extent that it still existed, was all done by computer and that there was no career in creating beautiful hand-drawn maps.

Next, Garrison considered becoming a graphic artist. However, after meeting a few commercial artists and discovering that it was not a particularly lucrative career, he needed a new plan.

“They looked starving,” he said, “And it turned out that they were.” Garrison’s next idea was to pursue architecture and the third time, it turned out, was the charm.

Working as an architect appealed to Garrison because at the time it was still all done by hand, not by computer.

He loved the physicality of the work and the fact that it provided both intellectual and creative fulfillment. He

also loved that it gave him a chance to surround himself with things that he loved, like the smell of freshly sharpened pencils. Architecture is also what originally brought Garrison to Princeton as a college student. He chose the university because it would give him a chance to explore architecture, but study something else if he found out that he didn’t like it. After graduating in 1980 and working at a few architecture firms, Garrison returned to Princeton University to earn a master of architecture degree in 1983.

Next, Garrison moved to Montreal where he joined Peter Rose architecture firm. One of the projects he worked on was designing the Canadian Centre for Architecture, a museum and research institution founded by Phyllis Lambert, scion of the Bronfman family, who owned the Seagram Company.

At age 27 Lambert became the project architect for the Seagram Building in New York City — her father’s new corporate offices. She spent her life collecting artifacts related to the subject of architecture and urbanism and eventually created the Canadian Centre for Architecture to display her collection.

While working on this project, Garrison spent five years traveling around the country learning museum best practices for lighting, storage, display cases, and more.

In the 1990s, as a result of a collapsing world economy and rising separat-

ist sentiments in Quebec, Garrison decided to leave Canada.

In Canada Garrison had also met and married his wife, Helene Lemieux, who works as a content analyst at Dow Jones in its data strategy division. They moved to Princeton in 1993, when a former professor invited Garrison to work at Hillier Architecture.

Garrison was the head of educational design, which involved working on projects for colleges, universities, and libraries. Among the projects that Garrison worked on was the new

Princeton Public Library building that opened in 2004.

In 2007 Hillier was sold to the Scottish firm RMJM, which had a total of 1,200 employees before the merger and 1,600 after. Garrison did not feel like he fit into the culture of such a large firm, and in 2009 he joined FXCollaborative, the New York City based firm where, he continues to work.

Thanks to his experience working on the Canadian Centre for Architecture and some projects he did during his time at Hillier, Garrison had an

informed background in museum design. After beginning at FXCollaborative, he interviewed for the opportunity to work on the Metropolitan Museum of Art and although he came in second place, he met a lot of people in the city connected to museums. As a result, the head of Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation’s architectural committee invited Garrison’s firm and 12 others to submit museum proposals for a new Statue of Liberty Museum.

While in the process of applying, Garrison went to Liberty Island and met with then-superintendent David Luchsinger. Luchsinger explained that the idea for the museum originated when he got tired of visitors yelling at park employees because they couldn’t go up into the statue or otherwise have the experience that they had envisioned. Luchsinger also told Garrison that many people who get off the boat at Liberty Island immediately get on their hands and knees and kiss the ground.

This story moved Garrison and impressed upon him the important symbolism of the island and the fact that it was a sacred space. He wanted to create a joyous experience for visitors and an antidote to the frustration that so many people had coming to the island. Garrison believes he was chosen to design the museum over firms that specialize in museums based on the strength of See LIBERTY, Page 10

their ideas that originated with this key concept.

Typically, an exhibit designer for a new museum is hired before the architect and the two work together to try to fit the building to the exhibit that will be housed there. However, the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation put off hiring an exhibit designer until they secured the approval of the numerous entities that needed to sign off on the project to make it a reality.

These included both the New Jersey and New York State preservation offices, several Native American communities who had owned the land before the arrival of European settlers, and the National Parks Service. The Foundation also sought approval from the city of New York, even though it wasn’t technically needed, because they wanted to build consensus for the project and avoid potential backlash later on. In order to gain this approval, the Foundation needed a concept design.

Therefore, Garrison’s team began to design the building with little knowledge of the exhibit that would eventually be inside.

However, even from the beginning, Garrison and his team knew three artifacts that would be part of the museum.

The first two were full-scale renderings of the Statue of Liberty’s foot and face made from copper. The foot and face are extremely important artifacts that

One of Garrison’s goals in designing the museum was not to obstruct the view of the Manhattan skyline visitors get when they disembark from the ferry.

It was replaced by a

new, solid torch that resembled the original plans.

Garrison and his team considered the torch to be the most significant artifact in the collection both because it had actually been part of the statue and because the torch plays a crucial role in the statue’s symbolic metaphor of liberty enlightening the world. One of the museum’s three galleries was designed to display the torch and therefore specifications like the height of the building and the angling of the glass were chosen to contain the torch, show it off, and make it visible from different locations including outside.

When visitors arrive at Liberty Island they get off the boat, come through the arrival pier, and reach an access area that ends in a spectacular view of Manhattan. The view shows the entire skyline — every major monument and tall building. Garrison said that his task in designing the museum was not to spoil this view. He added that the view is especially poignant because it is directly across from the site where the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers once stood. Garrison wanted to honor that view and the profundity of something being missing directly across from the world’s most famous monument to liberty. As a result, visitors turn to the interior of the island in order to see the museum.

Building on the island turned out to be harder than Garrison and his team

thought. First, the existing service dock wasn’t strong enough to carry a concrete truck or a pallet of stone. Because of this, the team had to spend $1 million building their own service dock next to the construction site. Even with their own dock, the logistics of transporting construction materials to the island were not simple.

Garrison said that a typical concrete truck can transport between five to eight loads of concrete per day. However, getting the trucks to Liberty Island had unique challenges like waiting for favorable tides and security inspections by park police and K9 and in the end it would take eight hours to make a single delivery. “Our concrete was eight times expensive than anybody else’s concrete” even though there was nothing particularly special about it, Garrison said.

Some of the materials that Garrison and his team used for museum pay homage to the statue itself. The granite used in the museum is from the very same quarry that was used to create the base of the statue’s pedestal. Garrison noted that the granite used in the museum was sawcut by machine while the granite in the base had been hand-cut using chisels.

“Our granite is the same, but different,” he said. “We are looking both backwards and forwards.” The new museum also incorporates a lot of copper — the material used to create the statue itself. Garrison said that while the cop-

in specific environmental conditions because they are contained in climatecontrolled display cases.

Inside the museum, there is an immersive theater with a program that tells the history of the statue. There is also a gallery where visitors can learn about how the statue was made and view a collection of objects that Garrison refers to as propaganda. Namely, these are objects that use the image of the Statue of Liberty to make some sort of political or cultural point. Far from the one-sided narrative someone might expect from the word propaganda, these object show how the statue’s image has been used to bolster all kinds of viewpoints, ideologies, and causes.

This underscores the statue’s role as a universally known symbol.

In addition to the being environmentally friendly, the museum’s rooftop garden gives visitors more things to do on the island. It is a place where people can enjoy themselves by going for a walk, having a picnic, and exploring the habitat created by native plants and animals living together. The garden harkens back to Garrison’s guiding principle — to make visiting Liberty Island into a joyous experience.

Liberty Island is open daily from 8:30 to 5:30 p.m. Access is by ferry only, $18.50 for adults. Museum entry is free.

RETAIL SCENE

At Princeton’s newest flower shop, community blossoms

By Philip Sean Curran

I

n a building where Town Topics newspaper was once produced, Aakash Kanjani does a little bit of everything at his job in a flower shop at 305 Witherspoon Street.

The doors opened in early June to Vaseful Flowers and Gifts, a store with flowers as one-of-a-kind as the people who work there. Beyond the scent of roses or the appealing glass exterior that lets passersby see inside, Vaseful has a mission to give work to people with disabilities.

The business was started by Community Options, a West Windsorbased nonprofit that provides jobs and housing to the disabled in New Jersey and 10 other states. Founded in 1989, the organization today has about 6,000 employees, serves 3,500 people, and operates with a budget of roughly $200 million.

This Vaseful store is the second that Community Options has opened in the state. The first was in New Brunswick, in 1999, but it subsequently relocated to Edison on Route 1.

Like with any business, Vaseful seeks to provide employees with the right jobs matching their abilities.

“When you look at the actual job itself of flowers, there’s a multitude of tasks that can be broken down that can fit the individual’s needs,” said Robert Stack, president and CEO of Community Options and a Princeton resident.

“So let’s just say you have a person that happens to be high on the autistic scale and he can’t speak, maybe he can wash the refrigeration units down. Maybe he wants to count the vases and do inventory.”

The aim is eventually to hire 12 employees with disabilities at the store, all under the watchful eye of a program manager, Nicole Young, and a professional florist, Kathleen Angelinovich.

Kanjani works at the shop five days a week, from Monday to Friday, as a floral trainee. He called working there “pretty good” and said his duties include feeding the flowers, putting them in vases, and sweeping the floors. Jose Saez, another employee, felt it was exciting to be a part of a new business.

Employees work part-time, 20 hours a week, and get paid at the state minimum wage. Their tasks run the gamut, like working the cash register, keeping the store clean, and making deliveries — all intended to build job skills that they can take to their next employer.

“This is a stepping stone for them, so we’re looking for them to gain competitive employment outside of here,” Young said. “So this is their training ground. This is where it all gets started.

This is where they get the taste of what employment is.”

Vaseful is not the only business in town with this kind of mission. Blue Bears Special Meals, a restaurant that opened this year in the Princeton Shopping Center, employs adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (see the Echo, June 2019).

For Stack, working with the special needs community started when he was a teenager. Growing up in Pittsburgh, where his father was a milkman, he thought he wanted to be a priest, and at an age when most children are still in middle school, he began attending a seminary in Butler, Pennsylvania, when he was 12. On his time off when he was not taking class, he volunteered working at a home for disabled children.

He decided being a priest was not for him and enrolled in public high school.

He earned a degree in philosophy at the University of Dayton and spent some time teaching, but ultimately returned to his original calling.

Eventually he worked as the executive director at United Cerebral Palsy of New Jersey and later for the state in the Department of Human Services. At the time, New Jersey was second in the nation for number of people with developmental disabilities living in institutions, and Stack’s job was to try to get them out of those facilities.

“New Jersey was horrifically behind in its de-institutionalization movement,” he said. “And what I realized very early on was that there weren’t any agencies that wanted to deal with people who had significant disabilities.”

In 1989, when he was 32, he formed Community Options out of “nothing,” in his words, out of his row home in Bordentown. He wrote the bylaws and the articles of incorporation and came up with the name of the organization.

“We opened up the first three houses in New Jersey, and that was the toughest time because we had to wait for money,” he said. “And so I had to mortgage my house and just take everything I had in order to sink this in there. We had no money at all.”

The mission of the organization has not changed since then: to provide housing and employment for people with disabilities.

“People with disabilities have the same problem as celebrities — they’re surrounded by people who are paid to be around them,” Stack said. “And so what we try to do is create relationships where people with disabilities can meet the general public and forge relationships, either with other people with disabilities or anyone in the community.”

FOOD AND DRINK Bon Appetit kiosk opens

by Carnevale Plaza

P

rinceton’s newest kiosk has been a long time coming. It was late 2016 when Bon Appetit, the longtime purveyor of gourmet foods at Princeton Shopping Center, announced plans to construct a kiosk outside the Carnevale Plaza apartments being constructed at the east end of Nassau Street. The apartments opened in 2017, and a kiosk appeared in the plaza, where it sat, shuttered and unadorned, awaiting equipment and permits — until May, 2019. Now it’s time to bring your appetite.

The menu is heavy on carbohydrates, and the servings are sizable. Stop by at breakfast time and chalkboard crepe and waffle menus hang from the brick exterior. Crepes, $6.99 to $9.99, are divided between savory options such as the Popeye (prosciutto, goat cheese, baby spinach, roasted red peppers, and tomato) and sweet options such as the Italian Banana (nutella and fresh sliced banana). The waffles operate with a similar dichotomy: savory options include the Pig and Cloud (creme fraiche, bacon, and salted caramel sauce); sweet options come topped with fruit, chocolate, and other treats. The kiosk also serves croissants and other pastries.

day last October and never reopened; before that it was Cheeburger Cheeburger. But the proprietors of its latest incarnation, Spice Grill, are hoping the third time is the charm.

Like Marhaba, which already had a popular location in Lambertville, Spice Grill has already established its presence in Parsippany, where it first opened in 2006. The Morris Countybased couple behind Spice Grill has years of restaurant experience. Gajinder Singh Chauhan worked for years at restaurants in his native India, then spent five years working on cruise lines before moving to the United States in 1993. He managed a restaurant in New York for 13 years before opening the first Spice Grill with his wife, Hazel Dias, in 2006.

The Princeton restaurant offers lunch, dinner, and takeout and catering options. The dinner menu includes traditional Indian stews like vindaloo, The Bon Appetit kiosk outside the Carnevale Plaza apartments at 255 Nassau korma, and saag, served over rice with Street is open daily with savory and sweet crepes, waffles, and baguettes. vegetarian, chicken, goat, and seafoodbased options, ranging in price from In the afternoon the kiosk offers New restaurant tries its $11.95 to $19.95, as well as kababs, baguette sandwiches, from the classic breads, and appetizers.

Chinese food with a Louisiana twist

A

nother in the recurring theme of the ever-evolving restaurants in downtown Princeton is the Chinese restaurant at 238 Nassau Street.

While the decor has remained largely unchanged, the spot has gone through numerous name changes since Ivy Garden left the spot seven years ago. Earlier this spring the Eps Corner sign that most recently hung above the restaurant’s front door changed to a sign that reads Seafood Boil.

The new restaurant still serves the Chinese specialties that restaurants in that spot have long been known for, but it has also added its namesake seafood

boil. The concept: take your pick of 11 shellfish options — different varieties of crab and shrimp, lobster, clams, or mussels — a seasoning, a spice level, and any add-ons like mushrooms, lotus root, or sausage, and receive a massive plate of fish prepared to your specifications. Costs are based on market prices for most items.

Learning traditions

By Pia de Jong

T

raditions with which you did not grow up lack a certain nostalgic magic. So I manage not to get overly excited at the annual Memorial Day barbecue on our block after the war veterans’ parade. Or by the fusillades of lethal fireworks in our backyard on Independence Day. Never mind crowding onto a sofa to share pigs in a blanket with my neighbors while watching the Super Bowl. Alas, I even have few warm and fuzzy family feelings about pouring thick gravy over the Thanksgiving turkey. You simply cannot long for something that you did not experience when you were growing up in Europe.

This is also the case with the senior prom, the ritualistic extravaganza with which high school students all across America close the book on high school.

For my family, this year was the third and last time we experienced it, first our two boys, this time with our graduating daughter in the starring role.

The rituals surrounding the prom are mysterious and puzzling to my eyes but are loaded with emotional wallop for the high school kids — and their parents. Preparations start about a year in advance. But the logistics are not

just about signing up the right escort.

This is accompanied by a whole arsenal of feelings, from genuine jealousy and fear of rejection to relief when the choice is finally made.

For girls this stress runs highest when selecting a prom dress. This choice must follow strict school rules of decorum and square inches of bare skin. What it comes down to is that just about nothing can be exposed. In comparison, renting a tuxedo for our sons was child’s play at the time.

But boys have their own angst — the perilous moment when they invite their desired date in the most charming way possible. This happens under the watchful eye of giggling girlfriends who immediately post everything on Instagram. Before you know it, your embarrassingly awkward attempt is exposed to the whole world.

A

s the P-Day approaches, tensions continue to rise. Parents consult nervously about renting limousines and photographers and inspect their garden again for poison ivy, before the pre-prom party. The administrators at the high school send reassuring letters about Breathalyzers. The celebrating students must do a breath test both before and after the ball so that no one

will be able to smuggle in a hip flask of vodka. This makes me slightly uneasy.

On the morning of the prom, a ghastly tableau of a fake car accident appears in front of the school as a warning, with a real smashed-up car and dummies as bleeding victims. The day of the prom is busy with dressing, make-up, fiddling with boutonnieres, and, in our case, last-minute showers for a couple of girls who slathered on too much bronzer.

We parents look at all this with very mixed feelings. We know from experience that all those couples who pose for photographs today as if they are getting married will lose sight of each other tomorrow. And how pushy those other parents are. All this unnecessary hassle.

But suddenly there she is: my daughter, shining in her dress. How beautiful she is. And so soon after when, as a 12-year-old year old with braces, she walked into a Princeton school for the first time.

I hear myself calling, “Wait, another photo. Just one.” But she is already leaving. And then I cry, just like all fathers and mothers.

Can I already sense my future nostalgia for the prom?
