unnumb

Grown outside the mind Love will do just fine My heart will skid and forgive My eyes open under their lids For I’m not sinking or sleeping But I am laughing and weeping In blue-yellow shades of time Love will do just fine

Standing Strong

Standing strong > standing tall. In this blog, I am going to explain why this portrait was made. Much of what I say here could be applied to my other self-portraits as well, because many are built from the same place within me. Because of the major impact my height (4’11”) has had on my life, it has shown up many-a-times in my creative outlets: blogs, stories, photographs, song lyrics, and poems. However, I have never discussed it this openly […]

It couldn’t be helped. I have never thought much about dresses […]

Night Moves in Blue

It had been too long since I had taken my self-portraiture medicine. I was starting to get twitchy-twitchy (yes, doubly twitchy).

In order to make this series of photographs, I had to break from my reliance on the sunshine. I drew from a completely different light source, a “no signal” blue light from a […]
