A LONG AWAITED ROLL

---

Kodak Portra 400

I, in no way, have mastered the art that is film. But it does many things for me. It forces me to slow down, take my time, give it all in one burst. It also allows me to practice the creation of quality over quantity. And lastly, film gets me to a place of being uncomfortable (because I'm much more comfortable with my dslr, being able to look at all 27 shots of one tree...) which stretches me as a photographer and artist.  The start of this roll was in the end of winter until now, the heart of summer - so, longly awaited haha.

THE SNOW OF APRIL

---

A week and a half ago the snow fell. Again. But this time, it was different, I wasn't resenting it. The flakes were voluminous and significant, but only staying a moment on the pavement. It was beautiful, I'm telling you. Joined together with a river valley of fog, it was the perfect.

A few weeks back when the snow had yet to exist, Megan and I headed out before sun rose, grabbed chai tea, 

and adventured out into the ravine. Megan is one of my dear cousins, just a year younger than I, who's heart is 

nothing like I've ever known before. She's compassionate, hard working, beautiful (obviously), and inexplicably 

wise for only nineteen. And Megan has always had a continual yearning to seek out, grow in, and live by, the 

Word.  On this morning we were expecting nothing but clouds so the pink sunrise ascending above the horizon 

had us still in our steps. In some frames, you can see the pink hues against her 

hair. Ahhhhh, so beautiful! 

And I love her so.

We  stood

Steady  as  the  stars  in  the  woods

So  happy-hearted

And  the  warmth  rang  true  inside  these  bones

As  the  old  pine  fell  we  sang

Just  to  bless  the  morning.
