Reflecting and Moving Forward

Photographer: Kirsten A. Harr, Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Happy 2023!  It's hard to believe it's 2023.  I remember a moment in time in middle school, looking at a calendar on a text book and seeing my high school graduation year: 2001.  At that time, 2001 felt like such a far away date.  And now, we're 22 years past 2001.  My mind is boggled with how quickly time goes. 
I'm now living in Hawaii with my family after almost 3 years in Saudi Arabia--which is also equally mind boggling. What a change in climate and scenery, though both have lots of sand and palms.  We really enjoyed our time in Saudi Arabia and I took a lot of pictures. Mostly unshared..  As I reflect on our time there and on what our time will look like here, I'm inspired to share more photos from Saudi Arabia and our travels while we lived there. 
I will confess, moves can be hard for me.  Especially when it comes to photography.  I'll snap many phone pictures, but it tends to take me a couple of months to pull out my camera.  Well, my camera is now out and in use here in Hawaii.  I've not restarted my portrait business..yet, but I'm inspired to share photos from our time here.
I'm looking forward to all 2023 has to offer.  I hope you are too!
