Perhaps it is my current state of semi-homelessness and this somewhat vagabond life we’ve chosen. Or perhaps it’s the feeling of taking home with me wherever I go. Whatever the cause, I was immediately enchanted by French photographer Laurent Chehere’s Flying Houses series.

To each house, there is a connection, whether one that seems to be an intact tether or strings that have been broken, there is a sense of both freedom and apprehension.

A life of freedom is a gift, yet it comes with a price. Sometimes costly to our psyche, an untethered life can also lead to joyous discoveries and adventures no mortgage could replace.
