a bit of nostalgia

I found these photos today and they made me miss how unexpected life was in the Philippines. It was simple, and difficult, and happy, like here at home. Just different.

jenn's family

isn't this the most wonderfully obscure location? i've fallen in love with the strange blue hoses, cement walkways, and fake roof. hearing the words "we dont want traditional pictures" from this sweet family was just what i needed to hear. these photos are what i have been feeling lately, a lot of blur, a lot of white tones, not so structuredness. i cant get enough of the one where this little guy is sharing his sucker with mom.
something about web posting alters the coloring of these photos, but i promise in real life the colors are better, a tad brighter, more real.

more familee

These first two pictures were for me, because I love blurry and I love light.

Now moving on, these are for Alyson...
