Returning from Dreams

Took this photo of my little sister, Katherine, in El Mirage when she came to visit me in February. It was a brutally cold day in the desert; The lake bed was pretty much abandoned and we could barely get out of the car due to the high winds slamming against the doors… BUT it turned out to be the perfect setting for our shoot! Katherine was miserable all the while it was happening, but I told her “Just wait! The photos will make it all worthwhile and that’s what you’ll remember about today.” And that turned out to be just the case. Out of all the things we did in LA, she now cites this day in the desert as the funnest. So interesting how our records of things has the ability to distort our memories 🙂

Today is my sister’s 19th birthday so wanted to get this finished to celebrate her. Happy Birthday Katherine! I love you.
