She was sitting across from me as I was holding down the fort waiting for our daughter while my unwife went browsing the little stores on 4th Avenue in Tucson. Turns out she was acquaintances with my daughter. I told her we were hoping her friends would watch out for her since we didn’t live in Tucson and she said she would, but was leaving to move back home to Oregon in three weeks.
‘Homesick’
She had moved to Tucson to become independent and discover new things, just develop on her own, which she had done for 6 months. But she was homesick for family and felt that the lack of structure to her life in Tucson, without the familiar obligations and connections was very hard. Her Uncle was in the hospital and she felt bad not being able to visit him.
She is a good and strong young woman, I think she will have a great life.
Another in my series of portraits. She was modeling for our local photo group. I walked away from the group, looking around the back of this barn they were using. I found this gorgeous rust and metal wall and immediately went back and stole the model away for a brief amount of time to get this shot.
Sorry for being absent for a few days. We took a road trip to Texas for college orientation for our daughter.
The remainder of this week and next I am going to show a series of color compositions I did while at the local Farmer’s Market here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I led a small group from our photo club in experimenting with color and composition and here are a few of the images I came up with.
