Focusing on the capacity of our bodies
I think a lot about the brain and emotions, and very little about our bodies.
Crafting a message and telling a story
A key skill I've honed in order to quickly share the complexities of my work.
Finding a Common Thread
what unifies me, what is driving me, what is my one word that is the undercurrent of who I am.
Writing is the portal to my emotions.
What is it about writing that creates this state of flow? My brain is actually physically buzzing/tingling/warm right now.
I interpret art as something created while in the state of flow.
I am in flow when I am thinking, examining life and the people in it.
Is personal growth an unraveling?
Maybe my life is an unraveling, maybe that is what everyone's life is? An unraveling back to the tight code that we were born with.
Lots of changes
All of this is exciting and new, and it is naturally still rubbing against my grief and sadness. I think this will be the way it has to go for a while.
Some of the things I miss.
I am so grateful to that dog, I never repaid him enough for his crazy love.
Sacrificial Toys
I wanted to document the damage my 75 pound boxer boy, Maximus could do to his toys.
I can’t just sit and be sad all day forever
Pain and grief move through me in such strange ways.
I’m in a daze right now.
My brain has known it since 4 AM that Sunday, but the rest of me hasn’t accepted it.
Can Photography Create New Worlds?
I would like to create images that magnify the unseen beauty and pain of the world.
Final Images: Sex-Positive Photo Project
This series of photos touch on the idea of sex-positivity and also the privilege that comes with even being able to utter those words.
Lessons from Behind the Lens at My First Big Photoshoot
I created a lot of internal pressure on myself to learn everyday and also to get it all right.
More Practice with Models
In preparation for a large photo project, I have been working with friends as practice models.
My first time working with models!
I'd like to eventually practice together with a mixed group of makeup artists, models, costumers and hairstylists.
The Cathedral of Christ the Light, Oakland, California
I have been eyeing this gorgeous building for a while and was thrilled to find it was open on a Memorial Day.
Photography Update and Practice Telephoto Shots for 5-23-15
I am getting back into my photography, finally. I am trying to make time every day to learn new methods, practice, edit or read up on the masters.
Photos are printed & I'm addicted.
I had no idea of the high that I was going to get from seeing my photos printed large!
Passionate Exploring
I look forward to seeing how photography helps me examine my society.
