what a year (2023) (Patreon)

I had a very busy and fun weekend and actually like, went out dancing at a club, and I found out the gay bar like right next to my house is amazing. Absolutely insane to have these experiences as a resident instead of a visitor. They were always the things I did while I was traveling. Now that's just what I can do where I live.

We have two months left in the year, and I'm kind of looking at the year, in sum, with a sense of speechless awe. For example, this shot is of my friend Richard's Peugeot 405 Mi16 on Lolo Pass, the border of Idaho and Montana (looking towards the Idaho side on the West). I wrote The Great American Road Trip about this. I wrote that story this year. I wrote that six months ago. 

I feel like it was an entirely different era of my life that I wrote that in, and I kind of can't believe how much that time has expanded and compressed in my mind with how rapidly everything in my life has changed.

As I've been looking through my galleries for photos to post on here, I've been realizing that while I love photography for all of the reasons I've said before, I'm just thankful to have such neat and useful documentation of my own life. It feels like a blur sometimes and nothing brings the past into such sharp focus as an image I remember taking.
