Alice’s adventures in Lewis Carol’s book is an accurate way of describing what I have felt this past semester at Salt, like Alice entering the world of wonderland. There have been many times where I went down the rabbit hole, chasing stories and chasing photos–and I have ended up in places and situations that I wouldn’t have ever imagined being. That is the beauty of chasing stories. You find yourself lost in another person’s world for a second and you take a snapshot.
And so, it finally comes to an end. All of those thousands of photograhs. Those countless hours. And the glorious feeling of accomplishment. whew. i feel a sigh of relief. a sigh of pride. a sigh of exhaustion. and a sigh of freedom. I made it through what has been an experience so unlike anything I have before–so unique that what I have learned, loved, and worked for can only really be described as ‘salty’. There is no other descriptor that fits it best.
