There are things that have ingrained themselves into my memory so completely that when I think about them I’m instantly taken back to that moment. Lately the things that have been sticking with me the most are memories from my childhood, like the crazy juice/punch dispenser I got for my fourth birthday, I still remember the texture of it, the smell of the fruit punch and the leak it got after that first day of ridiculously heavy use.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the kid that I was and the person that I am. I think we’re forever changing and growing, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. I remember the explorer that I used to be, fearless to the end. I sometimes miss that reckless abandon of youth. I’m young, don’t get me wrong, but there’s a naivete that you just lose as you grow older. I think we forget to marvel, explore, question.
You’re probably thinking, what the heck does this have to do with an I Love Wednesdays Super Store of Awesomeness, and the answer is simultaneously nothing, and everything. The store is a collection of images from my travels; images that were made through exploring that capture a sense of place and time. I hope they speak to you in some way and convey a sense of the place they were taken.
The store will change quarterly and all of the prints are limited to a print run of 10 and come packaged with a heck of a lot of love and a little present, just because.
I hope you enjoy the store, the prints and the presents.
