Photos I gave new life to this week

There are photos we take in the middle of living. Photos that when later looked at, mean something entirely different than they did when they were captured. 

When I took these, I thought I was documenting a beginning, and I was.

I let my present self speak over these images instead of erasing them.

Because healing has not been loud.

It has been slow.

Subtle.

A shift in perspective.

And wildly artistic.

These images used to feel intimate in one way. Now they feel intimate in another.

Memories don’t have to stay frozen in the meaning they were born with.

Sometimes you don’t delete the past.
You just rewrite the caption. In pretty handwriting of course.

I can’t wait to add more to this collection of reimagined photography from my travels! The images here were taken in California, Arizona, South Dakota, and Utah in 2012
