Hidden under a willow tree sometime in 2013/2014 on my lunch break. Wrestling with my art career lull and trying to survive on a minimum wage job which was $7.00 an hour. After 2 years I got a .25 cent raise which I felt ecstatic about at the time lol.

Healing a fractured bone is not fun. Exploring photography again in the present.
