This is a photo of me in Arles in my early 20’s. A few years after studying in Paris for a semester, my best friend, who I had met on the program, reunited in France for a wonderful trip through the south of France. I remember being shocked that the gnarled deformed trees of Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings actually looked exactly the same in person. I’m still waiting to go back. I love the heat of this photo. The bleached whites and burning oranges.
