I haven’t had much time to make photos lately, and if I’m being really honest, it’s mostly been a lack of inspiration. The holidays are over, it’s cold outside and it seems my creative self has gone into hibernation.

So, I dug into my “archives” and found some photos from a weekend trip I took to New York City.  I chose this photo because during this trip I did a lot of experimenting—crazy angles, street portraits, different exposures. New York brought out the “experimental” me. It’s a reminder to get out of my comfort zone and just try, regardless of the outcome.

I also realized that my trip was nearly a year ago to the day. It’s been a year. One year. How did that happen? Where did the year go? Then I realized shortly after this trip we started Minerva Rising. A year ago…what a year it’s been.
