Do you ever listen to a song (you can click that) and get taken aback? Vividly?
I'm not really sure why I never got around to editing these photos. Maybe it was because of the emotions behind them. Maybe? It took a Spotify rewind playlist to jog my memory.
August 2017. Anxiety popped into my life out of nowhere. My body, my mind, and my heart were unprepared for it, and I needed to get out of the city. After an exhausting summer two years I finally decided to take a break, a getaway, and see somewhere new. My brother had moved to Seattle a few weeks prior and it was finally to see the place he now calls home.
And damn, it's a cool place. I break almost every rule of photography in this post.
The Forks of Seattle.
This is literally an alley of gum on the walls.
If you ever get the opportunity to sail around Seattle. Do it. Trust me.
