How to be, part of your world 🧜🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s been interesting, always having a camera in my hands. Ready to go at a moments notice. Somehow it puts me in a flow of noticing more. Being present more. Recognizing I’m not just living my life, but that I’m part of theirs too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who knew Ariel would teach me so much 🤷🏼‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #landscapephotography #bwobsessed #livelife #inthedeep #personalproject #filmisnotdead #35mmfilmphoto #35mm
I’ve decided to learn how to live with this camera in my hands. To find the photographer’s way ... my way of contemplating, seeing, and translating this one life into a visual language.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We live in a world of images. I don’t want to add to the noise. I want to create with something to say.
Adventuring means more to me than time away. It makes me feel like I’m living in my own movie: a perfect cast, glorious locations, and a soundtrack of oldies. It’s interesting that until recently I didn’t capture it more intentionally. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think it’s because when I had my camera in my hands I was “working”. I needed a certain set of elements in front of me to make it “worth it”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How strange when the most beautiful muse was always right in front of me.
Spaces and places imprinting themselves deeply. The smells. The light. The sounds. It changes us, but only if we see it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve lived many places that unfortunately I never really saw. Busy with my own life I couldn’t see past my own nose. Traveling more this past year showed me I needed to take notice of my own place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So now I have an ap to teach me the names of the trees and plants. I slow down and spend more time walking in my own backyard. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m letting these places imprint themselves on my experience like our ancient locals used to.
Us. A little blurry but fitting together perfectly. Read on if you want to know our story. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We met in college. I was a ballerina and he was the pianist for all our company classes. I said thank you to him at the end of every class. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then one day he found me on campus and we started talking. It felt comfortable and easy in a way I’d never felt before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He says he knew the moment I walked in the room that first day in class. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The rest, as they say, was history. Our marriage is real and I love that. I’ve learned more about myself, how to live my life, and the world because I chose to marry Jayson. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So here we are 14 years later. A little blurry but fitting together perfectly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you Mara for this one. #rollie #filmphotographer #bwfilm #hp5400 #convertedtofilm #rollinginthedeep #mediumformatfilm
Finding myself as a photographer has not come easily...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There’s such a pressure to find your niche, to stay there, excel there. Sometimes I feel like a square peg in a round box - where do I fit? I think it’s limits I’m not comfortable with. I just want to live with a camera in hand making pictures that make me feel something. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which lately is leaving me with more questions than answers. I’m trying to be comfortable in that space of quietly making pictures and exploring until a direction becomes clear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But the lack of direction has kept me quiet and in my own head. I’m hoping that in sharing some of my new work will help ease me into a purpose.
Seeing them grow is a privilege.
Always looking for how the places I’ve lived have shaped me. When I am here I feel freedom, I feel expansion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are the places and your feelings?
Her.
