Took a breather in Payson and found this spot—just water, trees, and the sound of peace. Needed this.

Calm like this is rare. The reflections, the stillness—it almost feels like time stopped.

Love how film gives this gritty, honest feel—like a time machine caught on camera.

This is exactly why I keep taking pictures of skies. No two are ever the same.

This sky looks like a painting you’d see on someone’s living room wall—except it’s real. Wild.

Beautiful sunset tonight
over Coalville, Leicestershire.
Sunsets are proof that no matter
what happens every day can
end beautifully.

Saw this original FDR campaign flyer in a small-town museum.

As a storyteller, I’m drawn to old paper, bold fonts, and forgotten voices. History lives in print.

Caught between due dates and waves.

Being a student doesn’t mean you stop living—sometimes you just submit assignments from the beach.

One of my favorite things about geography is how even still water has movement if you know where to look.

Nature teaches you that silence has layers.

Found peace and story in this space.
Cemeteries are more than what they seem—they’re about history, identity, and design.

Geography isn’t always maps. Sometimes it’s mood.

Somewhere between clouds and cornfields.

Travel gives you perspective—on design, story, and your place in the world.

Noticed this magnolia about to bloom while walking through an old cemetery in KY during my family reunion.

Life and memory in one frame—this is why I love visual storytelling and geography. Every place has something to say.

Finding sources for a paper like… “No titles found (huh).”

Balancing research and iced coffee at Daily Drip. Student life isn’t always glamorous, but it’s got style.

Finding the balance—on wheels and in life.

New assignment-experimenting with shadow, motion, and low-angle framing. I liked how the silhouette almost says more than the actual subject.

Sometimes the story’s in the details.

Throwback to when I first visited @GCCAZ at 11 years old. Crazy to think I’d actually end up here, double majoring.
I didn’t know what I wanted to be yet—just that I liked making things and asking why.

Exploring visual storytelling as a Digital Media + Geography student.
Expect photography, Photoshop experiments, and stories that blend place + imagination. #JRN213GCC #DigitalMedia
