Back To Kinney Road

Back To Kinney Road

 

Kinney Road is an important road for me. I fell apart there. I started taking photos there. I fell in love with Maria there. I began to heal there, chasing sunsets with Izzy there, seeing the light there. I haven’t taken photos of Kinney Road for awhile, perhaps because I am in a different place. But I love it and remember it and went back last night to catch a sunset there. It felt different, beautiful, evocative. A fixed point. A way to measure life.

I was very frightened then, very sad, as alone I can imagine being, and as overwhelmed. But somehow Kinney Road helped pull me through, inspired me, called me to move foward, fulfill my dreams.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” — Henry David Thoreau.
