I decided to give this picture a personal title - It was shot in my hometown of Lancaster PA on a trip in August last year, and I felt very connected to it - the Amish farm in the background, the way nature was wrapping all around the image...so the title contains the name of the street I grew up on in my hometown. I always thought it had such a nice ring to it, so I'm happy I could incorporate such a solid memory of childhood into this image.
I wrote a blog post about the process it took to create this, since it was many months and countless hours of questioning before I released it today. It was about 50 scanned leaves into my computer, cut out, duplicated and changed into hundreds, then formed into a dress.
This picture was inspired by the magical Maggie Taylor.
