~The Wonder Years
These trees are on the land that I grew up on. With each visit home, the oak beauties never disappoint. I'd like to think they have played a part in my life, the part of me that has a love for looking upwards especially when shooting photographs. My memories and what has been captured in these photographs are very similar. There is something so beautiful about memory and reality merging. Each layer fitting together in just the right way.
