Reminiscing on this past summer and the festival tour I so luckily got to be a part of as a photographer. 3 festivals. 1 severely broken ankle.. and Iām so grateful my stubborn and passionate self made it happen despite all the turmoil that knocked on my door weeks before summer began.
This past season has been a time of shapeshifting, re aligning, and healing. Something that has made itself so known is that this art and the joy it brings me will truly never fade. I love the diverse life moments I get the gift of photographing. Continuously experimenting and playing with light, color, shadow and composition, all originating from deep feminine intuition and guidance. It keeps getting bigger and louder, and as Iām in a time of realignment Iām truly noticing how much happiness and purpose this line of work and being an artist brings me.
Just 5 days before shattering my ankle and grappling the loss of my dear friend Wren š» I made it to honoring my mentorship program with the remarkable and not even a week later my ankle broke into so many pieces below me.. coming out of hospital I was bed ridden for most of summer.. and managed to miraculously make it to 2 WEEKS post ankle surgery.. (I still donāt know how I did it) capturing most of the images on my chair and a handful confidently and somewhat pain medication drugged up, hobbling on my crutches. I had so many beautiful photographs to work on during my convalescence, reminiscing of community, song, ceremony and sisterhood. And a short few weeks after beginning to walk again after nearly 3 months of non weight bearing, I decided to attend where I got to see some favorite artists and surprisingly had the energy to shoot 2 days of the festival.
This last season has been testing in so many ways I havenāt even shared here, but one thing that has been a silent savior in so many ways is this art form and the light it ignites deep within me. Being the guardian of these moments, forever etched in time, to sharing them within the community and publicly, feels like such a true giftš¤
