As I share this last batch of photos of my recent trip back to Sicily, it's hard to believe that we only got to spend less than two weeks documenting our stay. What felt like an entire summer was condensed into such a short amount of time that I never thought I'd have the opportunity to capture so many great memories and beautiful places. Visiting my family and exploring Sicily with Courtney and my dad was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and it's one I hope to do soon for an even longer span of time. Being able to use the ones that I love as my subject matter is something I'll never get tired of doing. All I can do is give my eternal thanks to my dad for giving us the chance to go anywhere we wanted with no reservations and complete cooperation, and to Courtney for being the perfect partner throughout all of this. As I grow and continue to fall more and more in love with photography I feel so lucky to be able to use locations like Sicily as a playground for my work, and I love being able to share snapshots of what I consider to be the greatest place on earth.
I end this with the final roll of film I shot in Sicily, a roll I used just to take some random pictures on the way to my Uncle's house on the last day of our trip, not realizing we'd be going to one of the most gorgeous spots on the island once we got there. Just another reminder that no matter how prepared you are, some things have to be enjoyed in person and aren't meant to be shared with the world.
