Each time we remember an experience, we re-imprint the memory into our minds, reinterpreting it through the context of our latest reality. Rereading a book or rewatching a movie after years can offer new insights. Revisiting a place forces one to revisit a memory, to layer another reality and eventual memory onto the first. In this series, I was inspired to revisit the photos I had taken five years earlier, this time a different woman. 

​

At a certain point this summer, my world was spinning around San Sebastian, in Basque Spain. My cousin would be there in a few days, my new friend was there sending me pictures, I had a flight booked to visit the following week, and in my living room were two enormous prints of a beach scene photo I took in there 5 years prior: A print above my couch that has been there for two years,  and one for a friend who had just moved into a new place.

​

San Sebastian struck me immediately as a special coastal village. With world-class food found in Pinxos bars scattered through the city, a charming old town, a central beach with a dramatic tide that lends and then grabs giant swaths of calm clean sand, a cove protected by regal mountains and hills for miles. I can't tell if it's the architecture, the well-priced wine, or the basque personality of the place but in San Sebastian I feel alive and inspired! ​​
