Bellydancer Heather Pund of Dark Side Tribal, goofing off in my old backyard and Kevin’s ridiculous cloak.

Bloomington, Indiana, December 2009.

I am smitten with Heather’s absolutely genuine smile. Hearing her giggle is one of my favorite sounds in the whole world. I am blessed to know her even if we only get to see each other once or twice a year.

I used to shoot out here all the time when I lived in Indiana. The skeletal woods shielding the railroad tracks and the brick-sided buildings of the neighborhood made excellent backdrops. I really miss taking pictures there.

It was wonderful to go back and play with the camera in a familiar place, with the same gear I’ve had for several years, with old friends. I’ve improved so much as a photographer since I took my first pictures at this site.
