I’d posted this photo waaaaaay back in 2010, after I’d visited my friend Dan in Pittsburgh, two cameras and some Kodachrome in tow.  (This was, after all, the waning months of Kodachrome developing, and I wanted in on the fun.)  The photo was originally posted here, along with the other Kodachrome pics that turned out alright, but I wanted to repost it as a standalone photo because:

(1)  it’s a lovely shot, no?
(2) Dan never poses for me, so I need to take what I can get (literally)
(3) Kodachrome!
(4) it’s a nice memory of a beautiful day driving through Ohiopyle State Park
(5) fall is finally — FINALLY — here, and this photo feels so wonderfully autumnal to me.

Autumn is also the start of a really busy time at work, and the madness doesn’t really stop until after the new year, so it’s the quiet moments that help keep me grounded.  Waking up in the morning and seeing that the leaves on the tree outside my window have turned ever paler, just ever so slightly yellow, is a nice sight, a nice reminder of seasons and cycles and jesus, just slow down and breathe already.
