Portrait Session: Aidrien Wilkins

Local musician extroardinaire, WWU professor, and Prime Time Band lead guitarist Aidrien Wilkins and I got together for some formal portrait stuff and I had a blast getting some shots of this music wizard and his magical instrument, and if you get the chance to see him or his band perform, don't miss it!

thanks for looking

The town I grew up in..

Seeing a place with new eyes is something I believe everyone strives for.  Every day we revisit the spaces in our lives, whether concious or not, because we want to.  The space in my life lately, has been the home I grew up in, the town I spent my childhood in, and the place I have been familiar with since I was 8 years old.  It is very different now, only in the sense that I see it differently.  As with many childhood memories, things are not as big as they once seemed, distances are not so far as they once felt, but every bit or marvel still lies within them, if only because I remember them being so.  When you are young you see everything for how spectacular it is; you take what you have and make it great.  Not because you aren't satisfied with the way it is, but just because you can make that way.

Here's to never growing up.

All of these pictures were taken within a quarter-mile of eachother, which coincidentally are also all about a quarter-mile from my house.
