Celeste and I met for the first time, and I think we made magic.
Jordan & Maurie Wedding
Watched my brother get married during a pandemic wedding in Virginia.
Hoover Woods
Fishkill, NY
Oof. What a perfect week in Upstate NY. I visited Talia, Elliott, Omar, Eric, Betty, Luke, Oozoo, and Monty (new family member). The environment was perfectly Fall. We ate apple cider donuts and walked for miles among the sculptures.
Horror is My Motto

This Fable Has No Ending
If I wait here, how long until you pass? I have the will to stand still, but not to move. I am waiting for a sign. A book of 100 rooms. To tell me what to do. Do nothing. The rules of the universe are mine to abide. Listen to the therapist, she knows best. Live your life by the rules. Do what the future version of you wants. But not now. Now you must relinquish control and stand still. Do not make a sound. Avoid all eye contact. Don’t count the cards. No tricks. No spells. Just be still.
To Me
Never a home. I can only think of the house as empty. The dahlias as newly bloomed. I can’t remember the past five years of my life. I can’t remember who I was, or who I became. When I think of myself, I think of Germany. I think of love in Germany. I think of flying solo, free as a bird, in Deutschland. Ich liebe dich in Deutschland. German rolls off my tongue, as natural in my throat as saliva and blood. I don’t think I ever left Germany. I left me at that train station in Berlin. No fair to pay, no judgement to pass, no secrets to conceal. I bared my soul to you, to me, to Berlin, to Radolfzell, am Bodensee, Konstanz, und Eugen’s. Prost. To life.
Promise
Promise does her own hair (and stunts). She is always so fun to photograph. I’ve been almost exclusively listening to Grimes’ new album Delete Forever and felt that energy in this shoot today. Promise’s hair definitely reminds me of a few Grimes looks, too.

Call it ill if you will, but I’ve got room for a bird in my heart.

Utah with Nathan
Drove from SLC to Moab, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park
Maisie, My Muse, in SLC
So lucky to have such a special friend come through SLC on her way back to Colorado from Portland. We had a destination in mind that was disrupted by US Air Force bombing areas and a stopped train. Ah but of course it’s about the journey and not the destination.
Ruth Lake
I mostly piggy-backed on a climbing trip with Shelby, Leah, and Nicole. I spent most of the day stepping over boulders and dodging spiders, but I did unexpectedly have my first ever outdoor climb. It was scary/fun/thrilling. Thank you to my friends for your support and warmth.
