My Boota.

September 4th, 2025

Last Fling. They shut down the street I live off of for Labor Day weekend for a carnival. I haven’t gone in many years, though I kept talking about going. Or lying and saying I did go. Either way, Megan and I had fun. The Ferris wheel was probably my favorite, not often do I get to see my home from above like that, I was glad it stopped us at the top for a moment.

I find it hard to photograph places like this. I think I get so caught up in trying to make a cool composition or trying to find a subject that I forget how to make images I like. Luckily I caught myself this time and made an effort to slow down and experience the carnival, not focus on taking photos.

I enjoy photographs. I look at photographs constantly. I love other peoples work, and also don’t. What I like to look at is not always what I like to make, that is what I need to remember. I think keeping this mindset will help me moving forward.
