Wyatt during service at Grace Episcopal / Concord, NH (Oct 2012)

There’s some R.E.M. joke to be made here, but I’m never nearly as clever as its required to be funny. The election is coming in nine days and I can’t wait to get back to photographing things like this.

lost and found

Erica and Brody reunited / Henniker, NH (Oct 2012)

He went missing for four hours after wandering off into the woods. A farmer found him next to a tractor, crying. It probably made whatever was going on this week seem trivial.

starting

Mes and Michael in their backyard on her 19th birthday.

This summer, between shooting for the paper and traveling to visit friends, I was lucky to make time to fly back to Ohio to continue photographing the McKees. Jameska gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Robert James in late August and she asked me to continue photographing her life. Not like she needed to ask. I made it down for the baby shower where it all really caught up to me. How fast life moves. They also hadn’t seen me in a year.

“When are YOU having kids?”

Photographically, emotionally, I was overwhelmed.

These photos are from the trip I made for the birth. It was longer. Jameska let me stay on her couch most of the week. I was able to catch up with Nykki and Roxy as well. It was long and sleep deprived and worthwhile. More from these photos will surface soon.
