Notes on a Return

I did say that I was actively going to try not to take self-portraits throughout this project. However, this week I think circumstances allow.

This weekend I came home to Illinois for the first time since the summer because my family is moving across the country to Arizona. The house is for sale and this is very likely the last time I'll be here as "home" because soon it will just be the "hometown" I visit when I can, not because it's a holiday.

For anyone who knows me, I identify pretty strongly with my woods. And it's September which means the leaves are changing, the goldenrod is blooming, and the mornings kick off with solid fog so it's basically my idea heaven.

I'll have new photos coming up later tonight and I'll be sharing some tips and stories for shooting outside, I just wanted to make a little PSA until that happens hold this space for a reflection that won't detract from my tips.
