I woke up early and couldn’t go back to sleep. Lots of thoughts running through my head. Some work-related, some personal. These early morning hours are some of my very favorite though. It’s the only time of the day that I have completely to myself. The house is dark, quiet, with only the sound of light snoring coming from the pug upstairs. I light candles, pick up my computer and do one of two things - edit pictures, or write. When I edit, I don’t have to think about whatever it is that’s keeping me up at night. I can let go and create something beautiful that I love. Fulfill a creative need. Lately, I’ve been playing with double exposures.

Dearest Josh,
I don’t share my feelings as often as I should, but it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

I’m carrying around this newfound love of photography very carefully. It feels so fragile right now - like it could burst at any moment. I’m sure that from the outside, it seems absurd. It’s just a camera, after all. I’ve known how to use it for years.
