sometimes I think, “yeah I don’t have to be a photographer” and other times like now, when I go just one week without taking pictures, I get this anxiety in the pit of me, a crying out, and if I don’t take a picture, oohhff, I don’t know what, but it certainly wont be good.

I just ate skittles, which I haven’t done in a long time, and the combination of yellow and green in my mouth brought me back to the skating rink in my home town. As a kid I use to have my parents take me there every friday night in my later elementary school years. Kids would eat way too much candy, ogle and awe over the boys or girls they liked, hope to hold hands on the snowball skate...

Little marketable photography skills. I NEED to do something about this. Seriously. Lord Help.
First step in the right direction:

This morning while I was getting dressed a memory came to mind that I have not remembered in a long time, and it helped inform me about my own artistic practices, so here it is.
When I was a little girl my mother was part of an artists group called Vistas and Vineyards. She would go out a few times a month and submerge into the Oregon countryside with her sketchpad, pencils, and her little...

there’s something about all of this.
that makes it different.

fresh.
real.
there’s something about crying not out of sorrow but out of joy. it comes from the long endurance of the difficult race. seeing from where you have come and the suffering it’s taken to get here. and…
Nicole Lim, what an inspirations. Honestly to see someone who is barely older than me doing so much was very encouraging. Her work was really nice, and I loved that it was not just aesthetically pleasing but that the stories themselves are so memorable and worth telling. I can still so clearly see the moment with that little boy who is trying to walk, and everyone is watching him and slowly he is...

Dead pan. I have to say that as popular and sometimes overused as the dead pan is, I love it:) And I think that in part that has to do with my love for the truth and seeing things clearly, because often by approaching something dead on, there is a vulnerability to the person or object that is inescapable. While at other times facing it dead on, just shows the fake facade that is fooling us all. I...

I am really intrigued by storytelling photography, and there are a lot of artists that I think do it really well, like Gregory Crewdson. Part of my attraction to photographs that tell stories is that that demand you time and attention, and the viewer is more willing to spend time with the photograph. In this chapter I was really interested in the artists that didn’t use people, that just...

Honestly, I don’t know if I have a polished belief about intimate photography. Currently I am trying to figure out if I think it is good, and if it is, what place it has in the world. I had a hard time with some of this reading, and some of it made me a bit uncomfortable and read faster than maybe I would have. I think thus far in my though process I am opposed to sexually intimate or...
