1 train and more, September 11th, 2015
This was for an assignment I gave on the first day of class, so Adam was a stranger. I asked the students to journey by subway, foot and bus, and to write a poem. Adams stayed out all night and wrote this vivid movie. He is the real deal: bright student, experienced military man, ace navigator, poet.
