We arrived in Weaverville, NC on the evening of July 20. Our moving semi-trailer arrived on the 22. Since then, it has been getting things unboxed, put away, set-up, and all the things that you have to do after moving. Yesterday, I spent the morning waiting to get a NC driver's license and plate for the car. The cool thing is that the driver's license is good for 8 years! In any case, I have been way too busy with things other than photography, though I have shot a bit when I have had the chance. Last week a particularly foggy morning gave me the idea to go into Weaverville and visit the Lake Louise park where I not only got some nice foggy photos, but also discovered there is a nice waterfall not far from the road. As we get more settled in, I'll be able to do more photography, and I look forward to that. We get our washer and dryer delivered Saturday, which will be a welcome event! It will be many months...maybe a year before I have a darkroom constructed, but in the meantime, I can develop film in the bathroom in the basement.
A year ago, the idea of moving out of Michigan to NC was still somewhat abstract. The reality is that I am now here, and I am embracing the the change. Sometimes it takes a major event to change your life, and it can be a positive or a negative thing. I am fortunate that this is a positive change, but it doesn't mean that it is easy. Eventually, all my stuff will be where it should be, and I'll be doing some good work with the cameras.
I do love these mountains in NC, and the people we have met have been very welcoming and very nice. We look forward to many new adventures!
