See it When I Believe It, Nathan Pearce
“Meghan and I met during a socially distanced outdoor gathering, one of my first times leaving isolation after the first wave of Covid. I immediately wanted to be closer to her, physically and otherwise. That same feeling has never ceased. We were married a year to the day from when we first met. Those snapshots were made in a time that we were newlywed and experiencing the unexpected and surreal experiences of a new life together.”
Every photo album I have has been rearranged over time, the order shifting, emphasis changing, and stories reconfigured as time passes. The images in this album, “See it When I Believe It,” have deep meaning to me. But the chance of new meanings will lie with you, the viewer. I want you to change the edit, shuffle pictures, put images up on your wall, make new connections with the life that I'm sharing.
