returning

It's been a while, hasn't it?   

In some ways posting here tonight feels a bit like the first day of school.  Returning after a long break wherein everyone's experiences through the days away have changed them.  Changed in ways that are immediately apparent, and also in ways that will reveal themselves with time. 

Right away you'll find a new banner.  I think of it as those back-to-school clothes that I used to get so excited about.   It seems to have started in kindergarten with this little dress.

I'm still navigating the more subtle shifts and look forward to seeing how they unfold in this space.  Something feels different, but I can't yet put a finger on it, let alone find the words to describe it.

One thing that is certain, though, is that I've become fixated on photographing sets of things.  I have many examples as I share snippets from the time away in the coming days.  For now, the textures of Liu Fang Yuan, the Chinese garden at Huntington Gardens.

Your images are beautiful. They made me catch my breath, as all beautiful images make me do.
