Homecoming


Normally I post pictures and text here to communicate with others, but today I must admit I have selfish reasons for my choice of images. You see, Leah and I have been out of town the past six days, back in Ohio visiting our parents. We returned today to a rainy, green Pacific Northwest.

These are pictures I shot just before our trip, the photograph above shot at a neighbor's place, the image below made in our garden. They are pictures that serve as a kind of self-welcome-home.

I realize how fortunate I am, to have two places I call "home"...the Midwest town where I grew up (and made my first photographs,) and the forested part of the country where I moved as an adult.

Two homes. I am a very lucky man.
