I remind myself that these are the moments. I try to silence my mind and be present. The wind bites and I’m miserable.
Everything is so bleak that I’m actually inspired to create. “Winter”, it will be called. Harsh shadows, blown out skies, an empty public pool littered with dead leaves, shut down behind a metal fence. You start to sour when I take my camera out. It’s time to go. It’s nap ..read more
