Inspiration Trip: Day 1

Traveling during a pandemic?!

Really, I couldn’t take much more of home sweet home. While I enjoy solitude and being in my studio, eventually I have to leave the bubble for the sake of my sanity, not to mention the sake of my creativity.

I have been to the grocery store. I have been to the post office. One day I went out to get a large eyed blunt point needle. All fully masked. And that’s about it since mid March. I desperately need to do something different. So I planned a trip.

Here I am in Cincinnati. Urban landscapes. Wonderful architecture. Spending the night at an AirBnB before proceeding to Pittsburgh for a week of photography and a couple of socially distant meetings with old friends. I have dozens of masks, jars of vitamins, and bottles of hand sanitizer. I can do this.

I’ve gone to look for America. And inspiration.
