out the car window

“I stared out the car window and understood that I was in a place where nobody knew my heart even a little bit.”
― Carol Rifka Brunt, Tell the Wolves I'm Home

This was the only quote I could find about staring out a car window and I find it to be pretty accurate. (Also, I loved that book.)

I take these photos out the car window. traveling south down Interstate 5. I play around with the settings of my camera as he drives. My window down, and my camera acting as a kind of protective shield after a hard week, I am pleased when I later upload the images. I decide to edit them a bit like film, and think once more about buying a roll or two for one of my old point and shoot cameras.
