“KILLING TIME" (IN PROGRESS)

​

You said you loved me.

Nine years later, your words stay with me.

 

I walked hundreds of miles back to you, without you,

lost in knowing that the very first woman I had ever really loved really loved me. 

 

I told you I loved you.  

You told me the same.

 

I walked nine weeks to see you again.

I waited nine weeks to see you again,

To be back with the woman I loved,

To be back with a woman who did not love me.

 

You told me so.

You did not feel the same.

 

Nine weeks lost.

Nine years passed.

​

I lost myself as I lost you.

​​

Nine years later, I am here, again, walking hundreds of miles without you.

Nine years later, you stay with me.

Nine years later, I struggle to walk away.

​​

Nine years later I want my nine weeks back.

Nine years later I want my nine years back.

​

I want myself back.

 

“KILLING TIME” 

is a photo document of the Camino De Santiago, a centuries-old pilgrimage through Spain.

 

It is simultaneously a document of personal loss & recovery.

​

For the next decade (at least), for however long I am physically able, I will return to Spain again & again, to walk & to photograph

as many of the thousands of miles & more than two hundred routes that comprise this historic & intimate journey.

 

It took me nearly fifty years to arrive here.

From here, I will walk my way back to me.
