i've been back from Homer nearly a week, and have tried to tap out a blog post about my experience several times, but have been unable to pull it all together. the week exceeded my expectations in so many ways, but i've been unable to tie it all up - to find a thread that was satisfying.
tonight i hosted a long overdue dinner with Adam and Dennis, and it became clear. over plates of pasta, and too much wine, we talked passionately about what we hold dear. we raised our voices at times. conceded at times. got to the crux of matters and spread it all out on the table.
in the end, we all make photos in relative anonymity. it's crucial to be able to come in from the weather and get to the bottom of things with friends. i take community for granted often, and when it comes on like it has the last couple weeks it can be overwhelming.
i need more of this kind of discussion. if you can't make it to Fairbanks for pasta and wine - drop me an email.
