But in the right rays of the sun \ If you squint hard enough \ There can be only one like it.
“Home” by Delta Spirit

I have an extreme passion for my home and what resides here alongside of us. A few of these were taken on film, last shot of the roll when I realized I needed to reload before I left the house. A few of these were taken on digital, small grabs that caught my eye while I work from home and the kids aren’t here to fill the space. They span the last six months.
Sometimes I feel off kilter, anxious, or really empty as the sun goes down. Going for a sunset walk recharges and soothes me because I get out of my head and I stop thinking and I let my senses fill up with it all. Walking, hearing birds and my heart beat, feeling my feet hit the pavement, being surrounded by pink sky. The best time of day to be alive, in my opinion. I lose that option Fall – Winter, when it gets dark at dinner time, and I watch the day end from the window over the kitchen sink.
But (hallelujiah) now that the days stretch into bedtime we have this special extra block of time after dinner to enjoy the buttery sun. To avoid the grumps, to leech out another second of day before we sleep and start again.

Double exposures are really firing me up lately. And this session inspired me to PLAY. ( I created these in Photoshop. )
I have also experimented with this technique in my personal work on film. Can’t wait to see how those turn out.
