Alabama Hills, California

The last trip Kat and I ever took together. After it was over, I wished I hadn’t taken my camera out of my bag - I wished I had been more present. But then again, what does it really mean to be “present”. Does sticking your eye behind a lens somehow detach you from your surroundings? Or does it make you appreciate them more? Maybe it fuels our desire for the beauty of surfaces. Maybe it drives our longing to relive the past. Who knows.
