This was my first real attempt at doing a photo essay, and boy did I learn a lot! It’s no where near complete–in fact, I’ve been told that it hinders more on lust than it does on love, and I couldn’t agree more. So, I kind of view this more as the first leg of my journey on showing my perspective of love.

When I was in Seattle I rode the ferry back and forth to Bainbridge Island and Bremerton a few times. I couldn’t ride it as often as I wanted to, as it was getting costly and my attempts to hide onboard failed miserably (they check SO throughly!).
