Seeking river magic with friends, always.

Last week there was a heat wave that was made more humid by corn sweat. The sweat of my own body reminded me of the corn field across from my grandmother's house, the talk stalks rustling in the ever present wind.

I sometimes look back at old work and realize that the vision for my photography has been there the whole time, I’m just so much more present to it now.

I asked my tarot deck “what do I need most right now?” and my deck (which has a sense of humor) responded “a magician.”

Working in the garden is always full of surprises, like this not so little northern red salamander I stumbled across in the dirt pile. I carefully replaced the clump of soil I unearthed him under and left the pile alone for another day.

Thinking of the purple flowers on my parents' lawn today.

Much of my work this year has been tender, slowly coaxing myself through my days. I am exhausted, my body demanding more rest than obligation allows for. It has been rewarding making images outside of a project lately, just letting my practice sink deeply into an intuitive space.

I've been looking through old work lately, and found this favorite from a project that has been sitting on the back burner for a few years. From my brother and I replacing the CV axle on my car back in 2020.

I made this lumen 4 years ago out of scans from my neck and some handwritten notes about my symptoms. Producing physical prints using medical ephemera has been such a therapeutic way to examine my own medical experience.

I feel so grateful for this beautiful place I wake up in.

Photography has been the thing I reach for in hard times, and I went on my first hike this year a few days ago with my camera. The cold instantly drained my battery, but I was amazed by this ice formation.

It’s always a pleasure to share work with @kinshipcollective.bsky.social members. I’ve been a little of kilter in my creative practice and feel so rejuvenated after last night’s conversation!

Testing the waters here, would love to connect with other creative folks! Honestly trying to use social media less overall, but I like how quiet Bluesky feels.
