Editing a series you are no longer shooting is weird. It has already been four months since we took the wall paper down, three since I packed up the van and left for Seattle, and two since we found a new place to call home.
It doesn't entirely feel like home yet, but the people do.
I'm sitting in DC right now. Three hours from Philly where I spent a decade trying to figure out what I want to say with a camera and how to say it. Each set I finish from Temperance moves me a little further from that time.
When I was a kid people didn't come in and out of my life quite as much. They moved or died, but it wasn't frequent. The last ten years I had over 30 roommates and hundreds of guests. Our community bounces in and out of each others lives with relative frequency. We pass through town, pick up where we left off, and create together. We fall in love with our jobs, fall out of love, stay or leave to something new, but we all leave a lot behind.
Not that I'm going anywhere. This life of meeting and creating with new people is my long term plan. Seeing what we have all done keeps me going.
