This year has been a turbulent and complicated year for pretty much everybody. It’s been a stressful year where everything seems difficult and tumultuous. Yet like all periods that feel chaotic, there are also a lot of moments where life reaches its hand out from the other side, often shrouded in fog and mystery to pull you from even the deepest moments of despair, or most insignificant moments of malaise. I think through this year I’ve been relatively lucky and fortunate given the circumstances. I’m starting to reach the end of my graduate program, I’ve picked up more consistent work after a year of precariousness and in-sustainability, traveled probably too much, and was able to meet and make a variety of new friends along the way. I could on about everything I’ve learned this year and all of the life lessons and on and on. But honestly I’d just rather show you photos. But also a photo cannot represent a month in its entirety, but it further shows how the title of this article is a bit oxymoronic in its own right. But now that the year is closing and I review my photo archive and negatives, I figured I should choose a couple of photos that at least help me to contextualize and decode my chaotic, interesting and odd year.
