Happy Winter Solstice. I am spending the afternoon painting and enjoying slowness and quiet in honor of the transitioning seasons and the year’s longest night.

I am quite humbled and flattered to be selected by the inimitable (of the and ) for 1st place at the Soho Gallery show in NYC this past week. This image is one of my personal favorites; I shot it at sunset in a chilly deserted mountain lake. While I was making the image, I could feel things slow down… it was one of those liminal moments that stood still outside of time.

! Painting is meditation. Just like a lot of you, I’ve spent these last few days deep in introspection about what really matters to me. I’m thinking about all the suffering in the world and also all the joy, about what I want to teach my kids and mostly how and what I want to bring about by my own actions. My resounding answer is , and .

I have been searching for a long time for the right vintage typewriter… and I finally found it! This gorgeous Lettera 32 is 51 years old and in stunning original condition. I couldn’t be more stoked.

Typewriting for me is a form of meditative presence - not dissimilar to the patience and trust required for baking bread. I love the punctuated sounds, the intentionality, the room for errors, and the individuality of each machine. Writing longhand or on a typewriter both enable me to be much more in the moment. I see lots more poetry/photography pairings in my future.

Big thanks to Wessel at Working Typewriters in the Netherlands for finding and reviving such a beautiful machine for me.

the light shifts
quietly
running down
the windowpanes
strewn with
dew,
rivulets of effort
from the day
weary of
waiting,
eager to wind
into a sweet
biting night.
I wonder
when
this love
will show her
self?
I hear
the whispering
waiting
to enter.

I typed this on my friend Christopher’s 1940s Royal Varsity (on luxurious which he, of course, has stacked right there) as a gift for him during a delightfully warm and sweet this weekend. So lucky for that evening. And now I think I need to get myself a …

Did we get
so far
away?
We are
the breath
I take in
you breathe out.
The susurrus
of our hearts
quietly
calls us
together
breaching
the long
divide.

When was
the last time
you breathed?
Into the
furthest
tinest
heartiest
alveoli?
These lungs
only
the obvious parts
of us
that are air.
We are,
in body
embody
mostly empty
space.
Electrons,
orbits,
electricity
sparking between
our

When was
the last time
you looked?
When was the last
seeing?

Whispers

She sounds
like susurrus
and love.

It’s going to be an unseasonably hot last day of school and start to the summer vacation… I’m really looking forward to some rare warm balmy nights this weekend!

Transitions always get me. How has an entire school year gone by? How fast does time really go? How much more can I possibly love my daughter when I love her more every day? Rolling through all these feelings (and so many more) and just being present with them as they come.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Love.

My absolute ultimate cannot.be.beat favorite delicious way to spend a day.

And yes it magically sometimes really looks like exactly that: a tiny beach and moonrise and fog and fire and crashing waves and purple sky and flying sparks and all.

About two second after this the kids started laughing and our dear friends went back to chitchatting and life was poignant and perfect. This little slice of time is permanently etched into my soul.

This has been a whirlwind! So many people signed up for my 2022 portrait project. I snapped this quick BTS photo while setting up for my full shooting slate today.

Shooting the entire thing with my Leica Q2 📸 has been a true pleasure. It’s a throwback to what photography was for me when I started with a vintage Minolta decades ago… tactile, tangible, beautiful and intimately personal. This camera isn’t new to me, but every time I pick it up I revel in just how much I love it.

I’ll be wrapping this project up next week and I’m sending big thanks to everyone who’s participated so far. Before I close this post, I want to say one more time that I am saving the last few spots for underrepresented / BIPOC / trans / nonbinary / typically-excluded / LGBTQIA / marginalized folx. Know someone? Is that you? Sign the heck up! www.lisawiseman.com/2022 (link in bio👆🏽)
