Fall 2014

Long ago in ancient China, the sky held ten suns, which shone down all together and scorched the earth. A valiant but tyrannical man named Hou Yi shot nine of the ten suns out of the sky, saving the land from the heat and receiving a potion of immortality as a reward. His wife, Chang’e, hoped to save the world from the tyranny of her husband, so she drank the potion herself and became immortal. She floated up into the sky and joined with the spirit of the moon, and the Chinese have celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival in her honor ever since.

But if you go all the way to Italy and don’t pretend to hold up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, you may feel like you missed out. Even if you never show them to anyone, these may end up being the pictures you’re secretly proud of. Do not be afraid to take your time. You traveled thousands of miles to create this picture—you can afford to spend ten minutes getting it right.
