The coolest thing EVER

Look at that thing! May I point out that it's a double rainbow? And that all four ends were visible and touching the ground right on either side of us?

Vanessa and I saw this rainbow somewhere in the mountains of Pennsylvania. We were on our way to New York City so that Vanessa could again be part of the Scar Project, a series of portraits of the scars of young women with breast cancer, taken by the photographer David Jay. (We also trekked up to NYC in December for a portrait earlier in Vanessa's treatment schedule.)

It's so inspiring to see people respond to less than ideal situations with creativity and passion. Seeing such humanity is humbling and lovely. I think that both of us returned from New York with reinvigorated drives to create pieces celebrating the interactions between people and the bonds we all share.

Also, excuse me for a moment while I brag about how AWESOME my sister is. She's been through so much with so much strength. Jess and I are beyond proud of her. :)
