I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving went very well and you got to spend as much time with whoever you wished as much you had initially hoped. Holidays are always difficult especially returning home from out of town when you’re juggling visiting times with family, friends you haven’t seen in years, significant others, dogs, etc. Making time for everyone is something I’ve learned over the years simply cannot be done whilst keeping your sanity. So stick with the people who matter most.

Here’s a little photo recap of my time in Missouri over the holiday. Most of these are either of my dog, Oliver, or of writing sessions for a new record I’m working on. Click on each photo to enlarge. You can follow me on Instagram (which is how half of these were made) at @alexfrankel.∗
