Autumn is my favorite season. I’ve always loved the weather, the holidays, and the aesthetic of nature. Looking at the leaves brings me back to driving up to Windham, NY with my family, preparing the upstate house for a cold winter of skiing. I had a few ideas of what I wanted to convey through my narrative, and I thought what better timing then when the leaves are changing. We’re anticipating the winter, but enjoying our time in the beautiful colors. Unfortunately, during my photoshoots, my camera was having some technical difficulties with the aperture/shutter-speed mechanism, making it difficult to get a really focused picture. I ended up balancing my camera on the slate patio outside, and collected the leaves. I enjoyed this project because I was able to stay out in nature, and really focus on it.
