Therapy through photos.
I love that when there are no words to adequately express my feelings, there are pictures. Right now, life feels blurry and complex. I know I’ll survive it, but I wonder how long it will last.

The rejuvenation of nature.
A walk really does wonders for clearing your head. Or maybe just offering you a little peace. Both are sorely needed in my life right now.

Things are hard all over.
Life took a devastating turn this weekend and it will be a long, long time before I’m okay. I don’t even know how to begin, or what “okay” will look like. I need to focus on finding joy in simple things, because frankly, I can’t handle anything complicated.

I’d like to get lost in a shadow.
This week has felt extra long for some reason. And frankly, I’ve been feeling a little melancholy. Maybe that’s why it feels extra long. I find myself gravitating toward moody shadows, wishing I could sink into a corner of one and hide. From life.

I found Inspiration’s hiding spot.
It was ducking behind running my own business. I’m amazed at how often inspiration has struck for me since turning my passion back into a hobby instead of my bread and butter. For starters, I have photographed so much more! (Thanks in part to the compact size of my new X100F). I’m carrying a camera with […]

Seizing the moments. And documenting them.
I know I’m not the first parent who desperately longs for bedtime. For that final hug, a kiss goodnight and a closed door. Because parenting is hard. You give of yourself all day long and some days, it’s all you can do to not audibly count down the minutes. I’ve had several nights like that […]

I made a mistake. It’s not the first.
In an effort to be really transparent, I’m not going to delete my previous post about how the X100F was not the camera for me. That was my initial reaction. I even ordered an X-T2 and was pretty excited about it. But then it arrived and guess what happened? Nothing. Whereas for the short time […]

The freedom of eclectic style.
One of the things I had a hard time with when I was running my own photography business was the lack of freedom. It sounds contrary right? You become a business owner to have more freedom, more control, etc. And in some ways, you get it. But in others, you sacrifice. When creating photographs for […]

Did I give up on the X100F too soon? Nah.
It took me less than 24 hours with the Fuji X100F to know it wasn’t the camera for me. One of the main reasons I switched to a Fuji X-T1 three years ago was the tactile nature of shooting. There was a dedicated dial or control ring or button for just about everything. I could […]

Learning something new… Frustrating, isn’t it?
We learn the tools of our trade inside and out, which more often than not, translates into speed, efficiency, and accuracy. That’s why I’m so frustrated right now. Today, my rented Fujifilm X100F arrived via FedEx and I’ve really been looking forward to playing with it. Unfortunately for me, there’s a learning curve. Thankfully not […]

I sold my digital gear.
It’s hard to remember a time before digital photography, isn’t it? I remember the days of film. In fact, a lot of the time, shooting film feels more normal to me than pulling out a digital camera and peeking at the LCD screen. I grew up shooting film cameras. Never anything fancy, nothing near professional […]
