A work in progress about me and my father – the ol' man. Photos, letters, memories, stories & artifacts. His legacy. By Joe Craig

Summer storms passing through the inky dusk of an August evening, 2017. Hot, sticky air and the cacophony of insects fill the senses of my mind. Memories of only a season ago can hit me with nostalgia and/or much needed perspective as we head into the dog days of winter. Happy holidays! #filmphotography #120mm #landscapephotography #personal

Aren't we all simply searching for ourselves in some way or another? Either now or in the end.

"There's a thousand ways to say 'Fuck You' Joey, and that's one of them." -Dad // I wonder if he considered how many ways there are to say 'I love you?' // . . . . #quote #bnw #film #35mm #vsco #legacy

"It's an old saying but I believe in it more and more everyday. 'Be yourself.' You have a place in the universe that has been waiting for you since time began." -Letter from Dad 1992 . . . . #bnw #film #scan #family #dad #quote

"When I was a kid and the rest were going to school, I was getting educated wandering through cornfields and the woods." -Andrew Wyeth // Dry corn stalks stand sharply along country roadsides, dry jagged leaves fluttering in the hollow wind. I look forward to the seasonal transformation that happens over the year in Pennsylvania. The bleakness of darker days can be counterbalanced by the stark, muted beauty of it – if you pay attention.// . . . . #reflection #6x7 #film #wyeth #indiephotolab #getoutside #personal #landscapephotography #fields #vsco (at Kutztown, Pennsylvania)

I saw these trees today and felt there was a lesson in their resiliency, adaptation and determination that resonates especially in times like these. . // Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.// -Robert F. Kennedy

As the days get shorter and the nights colder, just thinking back to that early June fly fishing trip to the PA Grand Canyon. @detroittiger3 . . . . #pa #film #indiephotolab #scan #35mm #flyfishing (at Pennsylvania Grand Canyon)

It hasn't yet felt quite like November, but the autumnal palette is in full effect. . . . . #indiephotolab #film #6x7 (at Hamburg, Pennsylvania)

There is a kind of magical feeling in the still air of a morning, before the sun completely rises. The birds know and will tell you all about it. Worth the 4AM wake up call. #wales

It will swell and break repeatedly, ceaselessly, endlessly forever. #6x7

Before you know it it’s 3 am and you’re 80 years old and you can’t remember what it was like to have 20 year old thoughts or a 10 year old heart.

You can't always sense if you're moving towards or away from a place/ person/ goal but inevitably if you keep going and push on, you will arrive. #6x7 #uk
