I made it through my first month back in Rochester. Needed to take some downtime from social media to get all settled in, but I am now back! It was so amazing being able to go out and photograph my favorite city at my favorite time. It’s so good to be home. #mevwalkingatmidnight . . . . . . . . @bratcatblizzard #nightlandscapes #nightlandscape #night #nightphoto #nightphotography #landscape #landscapephotography #nightscape #longexposure #night #nocturnallandscape #nocturnal #highlandpark #goodmanstreet #roc #rochesterny #585 #visitrochester #explorerochester #explorerochesterny #cat @highlanddiner15 @highlandparkconservancy (at Rochester, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B19p3l2FTGx/?igshid=wu97vvw3rfr

Ha a wonderful time up in Niantic, CT on Friday. Stopped by utterly amazing Book Barn to trade in a plethora of my father’s cookbooks (photo 2). I also ended up buying a few treats of my own (photo 10). After that I had lunch with the wonder @carolinecouig. So glad I got to catch up with her before I leave for Rochester. She is such helpful, inspiring and supportive mentor! . . . . . . . . . . #bookbarn #niantic #nianticct #books #usedbooks #usedbookstore #usedbookstorefinds #usedbookstorelife #cats #catsofinstagram #booksandcats #catsandbooks #bookstorecats #bookstorecat #reading #bookstore #books #booksforlife #booksfordays #cats #bookbuying #bookbuyingproblem #photobooks #photobookfinds #secondhand #used #photography #photo #photojournalism #friday (at The Book Barn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0urbTAluGC/?igshid=1lf2n54ug8sok

Today, after two years and a little over a month, my father finally has a gravestone. As this marks the final step in the grieving process, it also seems fitting as a final marker for my time living back at home. My mother (pictured here) and father will always be the two most important people in my life journey. They were always the perfect team and with me tagging along, we were the magic unit of three. The epitaph on the headstone is “Time will tell I love thee well.” My parents came across this phrase engraved into an 18th century wedding ring that was an artifact from an archaeological dig. Seems fitting that their passion for archaeology is how they found each other in the first place. As I always like to joke, my father found my mother in a ditch. 100+ years from now, future archaeologist/historians will know how much my parents loved each other. But for now, my mother is very much alive and well, and so is my father’s memory. . . . . . . #cemetery #headstone #grieving #grief #movingon #memory #timewilltell #timewilltellilovetheewell #gravestone #graveyard #history #archaeology #parents #family #dad #iloveyoudad #i❤️dad #loss #death #lifecycle https://www.instagram.com/p/B0U-kzVF-k9/?igshid=ly4srgyf27ww

From my train ride up to visit Rochester two months ago. I’m excited to announce that I will be moving back to my beloved city at the end of the summer. Two years away has been too long! . . . . . . . #trainride #amatrak @amtraknational #sunset #goldenhour #twilight #dusk #landscape #landscapephoto #landscapephotography #pond #reflection #slowshudder #motionblur #photo #photography #upstatenewyork #iloveny (at Amtrak Empire Service NYC to Niagara Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzZoykCFNnl/?igshid=rxfg6ydy9wy1
