It's funny how so much of what we create is measured. If I had to rely on my metrics to feel good about what I make, I don't think I'd still be doing this.

I create photos that only get shown to a few people (with exceptions), and videos hardly anyone watches. I write a monthly newsletter to 50ish people, and I make captions like this one that only a handful of people will tap to read past the first sentence.

There's a certain satisfaction in knowing that the ones who see what I'm doing aren't disappointed. I'm happy to have a small audience that believes in me.

The one-on-one conversations I've had lately have been encouraging in a way that follows and likes never will. If you've been part of that for me, thank you so much.

Someone I wrote to recently said this:

"I share my work intimately with whoever shows up for it."

Me too.

I don't even remember when I started these rolls, but they're all several years old. I wasn't working so I couldn't afford to develop anything and wasn't motivated to even finish the rolls.

I was borrowing a friend's Leica M2, and I had no idea how to rewind it...which is how I ended up with a mostly ruined roll there.

Shots are from × .nyc walks, and one from a set in 2021.

Light leak shots were on Fuji Pro 400H, others were on Kodak Ektar 100, pushed a stop.

This year, I've spent a lot of time thinking about where my work fits, and what spaces I occupy as an artist. I've been a visitor, but I don't know if anywhere really feels like home. I guess that's also why I've been trying to build one from scratch.

I've been trying to seek those conversations out, and I suppose that's because deep down, I really want nurturing. Water and sunlight.

These posts, the videos, the newsletter, making prints; they're all my way of showing that I have something to say that's more than the trend of the moment. It means fewer people will notice, but I'm hoping that the ones who find me will be happy they did.

Wait, the is reflections? I'm so ready.

After years of saying I should try to learn studio lighting, I'm actually trying to learn it.

Taken earlier today with valentine marie at NULA STUDIOS

I'll be looking forward to making fewer mistakes and being more comfortable soon!
