hannah and bennett fly through the air
Ha! Ha! Remember back in the day* when my photos were real documentary, just sort of in the vein of “nothing to see here – please move along,” and not at all conceptual or blurry or any of that stuff.

only god
I know her tattoo says that only God can judge her, but I bet there are plenty of people who will judge her – on her tattoo, on her clothes, on her hairstyle, on her relationship status, on her job, on all those things that are no one else’s business.

the waiting
Look at me, with the photos of people. I resisted this for a while. For a really long while.
Now I wonder why I waited so long…

ghost riders
Full disclosure, part one: I hate going to the fair. The rest of my family loves to go. I hate it.
Full disclosure, part two: the only reason I agreed to go this year on the Big Family Adventure™ was because I’d just gotten back from that trip where I learned that I could, in fact, take photos that had people in them, and I realized that the fair had great potential for people photos.
Full disclosure, part three: my favorite part of this photo at first was that little girl on the right side. But then I saw those two ghostly blurs at the top, looking for all the world like two scary AF faces.
Full disclosure, part four: I still hate the fair.

the committee, at rest
The men who are entrusted to carry the saint on her procession are all members of a family that’s been doing this important task for centuries. When we asked how that family was originally chosen, our guide said it was so long ago that no one knows. That sort of dedication to a saint, to personal beliefs, to a community is admirable. And is something that I do not believe I’ve witnessed before.
Thank you for your patience as I presented all these photos of Sicily. It took me several months to commit to making the trip; finally making the commitment to go was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. So, here’s my Big Important Advice: don’t put off doing that thing that you think you want to do but aren’t sure about it because this might not be the best time or your schedule might be too tight to make it work or what about that other thing that you’ll miss at home (or at the office) if you go. If you CAN, you should.
