I just got some film scans back from some rolls I shot over the course of the fall. Getting pictures back is one of the most exciting things to me. You never know what you might have forgotten, and it’s fascinating to be reminded of the things that were so compelling that I felt the need to capture them.
When I saw this picture, I was stopped in my tracks. Stunned. and I don’t know what it is about it… it just absolutely amazed me. Something about this photograph made me feel something very deeply - something telling of my own life and experience in this very moment, something about who I am right now.
I wanted to post it to instagram then felt like that cheapened it for me in a way. But I felt so compelled I just wanted to write this somewhere I can look back on later, and share to any of who you have followed the blog.
This is one of my favorite photographs I have ever taken. It’s… beautiful in so many ways. To me it feels like every leaf is moving… and moving in a synchronized way. Everybody’s dancing. I’m having a really hard time describing this, but everything in this photograph is home. This photograph feels like my life.
That’s all I can even say right now.
Thank God for these bread crumbs that are left along this long forest path - what seems to be and endless and mysterious search for communion and faith. This is a kiss on the forehead.
