I wasn't more than six years old when we moved for the fourth time in my short life. I distinctly remember lying on my thin mattress on the floor in my new bedroom thinking how stupid it was to unpack boxes and that I just wasn't going to do it this time.

Earlier this week I announced that I was embarking on a photo series of smoke trails. I wasn't sure where it would take me, but I knew that I had just barely tapped the surface of my potential in exploring this type of photography.
