Can't explain why these images go together. They are a slow arc in the change of how I'm seeing things. For so long I've lived in the beautiful watercolor world of backlighting. It's defined me for so long that I'm struggling to find my voice and certainly how to find my new way to process images. It takes me a while to know if I like something. But every so often I'll find a shot and know it's just right for me. I'm still looking for words to explain it. I'm not sure how so many ideas can fit into one category but it seems to be really honest for me. I wonder if I'm categorizing everything that isn't backlighting into one thing. But I know it's more than that. There's a certain feeling I get in my gut when I stumble upon a little gem and I feel so grateful immediately - quiet happiness spreads and it makes me want to stay outside and shoot all day and never do paperwork again. I think in so many ways my love affair with photography is just beginning.

There is nothing quite like home sweet home after a wonderful vacation to Denmark and Sweden.

Something Lovely :: Gaidin spent the weekend with us. It's so rare for us to have the weekend off. We spent a lot of time at parks and walking in the sun. After an epic two weeks in the dark Scandinavian winter, it was lovely to feel the sun on my face and the warmth of my family.

Something Dreamy :: I was a little nervous about going to Denmark and Sweden in the middle of winter, but Maryanne and I brought tons of warm clothes and lucked out on the weather. This trip made me fall a little bit in love with winter. I'm really looking forward to my upcoming trip to Iceland in June. Even though it will be summer, it will definitely still feel like winter for this San Diego girl.

Something Captured :: Oh Copenhagen you are lovely. Maryanne and I went on an boat tour of the city. It was wild. The sun came out for what seemed like the first time ever and kept us warm on the chilliest day. I can't wait to share some images. Copenhagen is a dream.

Something New :: It was night time for the majority of our trip. The sun "rose" around 8:30 am and "set" about 3:30. Mostly, it just made subtle appearances near the horizon but never really gave the feeling of day time. There was a dark beauty to our adventures and many of our photo walks were at night. It was really intriguing to photograph the soft low contrast light of winter.

Something Challenging :: My dad was in the hospital this weekend for a blood clot in his leg. It was a tense weekend and my brother and Andrea spent a lot of time in the hospital while we played with Gaidin. My dad didn't want Gaidin to see him in the hospital. I am so glad he is getting better.

Big hugs,

Suzanne and the Wanderers
