Photo Friday: The Kids

This photo series by Theo Gosselin really stopped me in my tracks and it took me a while to figure out why but I think I finally got it - every single photo reminds me of high school. This photography series does a fantastic job of capturing that youthful carelessness that accompanied all of us in high school and through college for some. There's that whimsical I-don't-give-a attitude that some days I forget I had.

These pictures make me want to go on a road trip, go to concerts every night in crappy basements, and hang out in someone's backyard until 5 in the morning for lack of anywhere else to go. There are a zillion more, I just picked out my favorite photos to share with you.

In a way this post is coming with some perfect timing. Today I found out that someone I knew in college is now gone and in spending the day remembering those times I find these photos incredibly comforting. There are always reminders of how fleeting time is, but it doesn't always make us stop and appreciate. Maybe today is the day to say hello to someone you haven't talked to in a long time. That's what Facebook is supposed to be all about right? 

Have a great weekend.
