My photography courses allowed us the freedom to explore our own interests and mine were urban and rural landscapes, nature, abstract…anything but people. It likely reflected the tucking into myself that was beginning to happen. Now, I am letting myself unravel and explore. Street photography lead me to watching the people more than the cherry blossom trees. Then I had the opportunity to bring my dslr camera to a Kevin Devine show. And I would like university aged me, the one who is old enough to have studied in the darkroom, to see me now. People don’t scare me anymore.

I’m writing this to announce that…I’m here. I have arrived. Late, but I arrived.
