As I faced (and continue to face) very intense, life-long mental health struggles that can be very disabling, challenging and disturbing for me, I remember spending many evenings outside at home just watching and photographing the sky as a way to try to help myself stay alive and survive. Seeing, watching, taking note of, andContinue reading “Photo Project: Clouds—Story”

Photo Project: Clouds—Broken Heart
This cloud project is very personal to me. In a way, I feel it tells my own life story without words. To me, my story often feels unspeakable, as though there are no words to adequately express it. And what I see in these images can be very relatable to the experience of my ownContinue reading “Photo Project: Clouds—Broken Heart”

It took me approximately a year once I beganContinue reading “Photo Project: Clouds—Printed Zine Available for Order”

In previous posts about my CLOUDS zine I’ve shared how the project is coming together as I work through the entire zine creation process.

Photo Project: Clouds—Celebrating a Milestone
As a way to cope with the intense, moment-to-moment mental health struggles I face as a result of surviving trauma, one thing I naturally began doing was noticing, focusing on and capturing the captivating clouds that I would see when out and about or while at home in our yard. I’ve spent years taking cloudContinue reading “Photo Project: Clouds—Celebrating a Milestone”
Birds on wires
Another of many images I’ve taken from the passenger seat on a drive to a neurofeedback appointment. I never know how these images will turn out as we’re driving down one of the highways we travel and this process really is helpful and calming for me. I decided to share some of the photos andContinue reading “Birds on wires”
Growing next to the lake
This is from the second of two rolls of expired film given to me. I shot this roll of Fuji Superia xtra 400 (expired in 2014) just for fun at a local state park back on 4/4/2021 with my Nikon FE and 35mm f/2. I developed this roll at home, “scanned” it with my DSLRContinue reading “Growing next to the lake”
