I was walking down the beach in Santa Barbara, California.

I felt a complex combination of nostalgia, hopefulness, and inner calm.

I took multiple photos, trying to capture how I felt with them. But I knew

But the audio of the setting doesn't capture exactly how you feel in a given
moment. So I sat down, and got out my computer.

My sister took the polaroid and photograph that became the album cover. I
photoshopped out the thumb that was holding it up.
