I think this is my favorite photo from the upstate trip I just got back from. I need to get out of the city more often. Especially when it's 90º!! Thanks to all that came. The trip was a wonderful time.

I found this photo from Peter van Agtmael's project on Uganda quite lovely. Love that the figure is engulfed by the landscape and perhaps am feeling my own desire to go trek around outside and feel small in the midst of more natural surroundings.
I'm about to hit a new birthday decade next week and am taking the weekend to escape from the city and enjoy the last bits of my 20's in a cabin in the Catskills with friends. Hoping it will hit the reset button.. both my own and on this rainy soggy weather I'm growing weary of.
