Self Portrait at Town Fork Creek WaterShed

This photo was taken on a recent trip home to North Carolina. It was my second trip home this summer, the first of which to say good bye to my grandmother, this one to attend her funeral and spend a few days with my family. I lived less than a 1/8 of a mile during early childhood from this spot, so this was a very significant place to me. You may not see it but in the distance (slight right in the background) there is a beautiful egret of which I had been taking pictures earlier. I wanted a photo to convey the emotional significance and weight of that morning and a given moment. With my camera set on timer for 10s I had my son walk into the photo with me...
