Northern Gothic

I started my grad school applications at the beginning of December which left me with little time to make updates. I would like to say that my time was well spent slaving over my apps, but in reality I probably spent more time procrastinating and agonizing over my feelings of inadequacy than any actual work. However, I did manage to find some time to shoot. For the moment, I am dubbing this work "Northern Gothic", because it creeps me out whenever I look at it. I was "working on apps" one afternoon and I noticed the way the light was coming in through the window and promptly decided it would be the perfect time to play around for a little bit. I had to remind myself what it feels like to make something without expecting an outcome, to do for the sake of doing. When I looked down at the back of my camera I was reminded why I love photography. Because the world can be a magical place, if you let it be.
