Normally I would wait until I got home and had time to think about the images before I would even think of posting them. This particular case, however, is one where I felt I needed to get it out. I’m literally in my school’s lighting studio right now, posting this with my laptop on the school’s wi-fi.
This semester is one where I’ve turned inward. In my past work, I strove very hard to minimize myself in the photograph and to keep it about the subject. Aside from silly selfies with my wife, I normally fiercely resist putting myself in front of the camera. I felt the need tonight.
I looked at the shots halfway through. An overwhelming sadness came over me.
I think I better go home now.
