better when we’re together

Jamie and i had four kids before the age of 30. Sounds crazy I know, and it hasn’t always been easy, but the best part about it for me is when I project into the future, and I see past the petty arguments they have into a future where they will always have a best friend to lean on, an ear to listen, someone to believe in and someone to cheer for. I try to share this future with them but it seems impossible to them now, so instead I drive to Santa Barabara on a whim, I fly them all the Australia, i stitch together what I hope will be the quilt of common memories and a bond that will last a lifetime.
I took this on my last pack of polaroid film in Santa Barbara a few weeks ago and (despite being woefully underexposed) I was struck immediately by how old and wise they both looked. God I love my kids.

Horizon | Dusk or Dawn

We made a quick trip to Vegas this weekend. I pulled over about twenty miles outside of the city when I saw this amazing setting. When you think Nevada this is not the picture that come to mind, and what struck me as I stood outside the car, traffic screaming by at a million miles and hour, was that if I had been dropped into this place without context, it would be impossible for me to tell if it was dusk or dawn.

So much of the time, this is how life feels isn’t it? Change is always coming, but sometimes (most times?) it’s hard to decipher if you are standing before the dawn of something new, or looking into the twilight of something fading.

Taken with polaroid 600se and fuji 100b. Anyone want to guess if this if this was dawn or dusk?
