in memory

Don’t lose it. This feeling. This enchantment of the heart.

In honor of the weird, original, and legendary David Lynch, who passed this week.

Be in Peace.

Quiet & Alive

I’m learning something about the trees in January,

So quiet, yet so alive.

a million tiny movements, imperceptible but important.

Acceptance in all stages,

Purpose, no matter how small.

We act in our own best interests when we…let them guide us, because in the eyes of those reflective, open hearted creatures, we can never be too joyful, too beautiful, too free.

Sessions like this are at the heart of why I love photography. Connection, nature, camaraderie, and golden light. All of it good for the soul of both the photographer and the subject, no matter what either is going through. Beyond grateful to have spent this evening with these two.

Putting It Out There

I don’t know why it feels so scary sometimes,

to have an opinion, creation, thought,

shared.

Not knowing what will happen

to that opinion, creation, thought,

once it leaves your body.

Who will use it and how,

or will it even be given the most precious thing,

external attention.

Self awareness is awareness of the finite,

a call to opinion, creation, and thought.

And maybe that awareness calls for acceptance and courage,

if any opinion, creation, or thought

is to become something more than fears and reasons to stay hidden and finite.

illusionary

Feels like you’ve been here before,

illusionary doors,

unsettled stagnant scores.

the gateway

the feeling that you might end up somewhere else entirely,

depending on where you step,

to veer off trail is to find yourself losing yourself,

which, depending on who you ask,

can be lovely

or alarming.

There are some very large letting goes to do:

people, places, honeyed and battered phases of life

there are some even larger letting goes to do:

anger, tears, parts of yourself that leave with no return.
