Her Exit.

She walks softly now
trying to find her way back
the spotlight following her every move

IMG_8686While within there is only darkness
she continues to search
gently lingering along the edge

IMG_8689She exits quietly now
leaving only shadows in her wake
a soft whisper through the still night air.

My dear friends, this is my last post on Viewfinders. I have enjoyed my time over the past five (!) years–first as a Mortal Muse and more recently as a contributor here on Viewfinders. Thanks to all of you for reading, commenting and inspiring me in ways you’ll never know. The unexpected connections and friendships made over the years are a treasured gift.

All my best to the ladies here on the site. You are an amazing and talented bunch. I consider myself lucky to have kept your company here for so long.

I am hoping to reignite my passion for self-portraiture in the new year. The above photos are the first of 6 self-portrait series I aim to shoot in 2016 (one series every 2 months…I can do this!). You can find me on Instagram @urbanmuser.

Until then,

Christy
