Last year when I came back from Scotland, I wasn’t really doing very well – physically and mentally – while I was there, and during post-trip editing I felt a little bit like the quantity and quality of my images didn’t quite justify the trip.

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

Are you as creeped out as I am by seeing “Daddy” painted over there on that wall?
