I have so much work that has gone unseen. There. are. so. many. boxes. of. fil Lately, the #blackandwhitefilm I have been getting back has been making me 🤤 I’ve got my eyes set on finding a darkroom up in Ventura county so I can begin hand making your prints. From start to finish. From scrambled egg to garden. Those in I am looking at you, laying on my stomach and all I can smell is the damp earth beneath me. It smells like Tea, specifically, Liu Bao. #35mm of my niece. Always a delight to capture your animal family 🥷 #boaconstrictor why are Mezcal bottles so much more elegant than all others? #35mm from October in Ventura, spent foraging driftwood on the beach, taking my cats on leash walks and drinking many many bottles of #mezcal if you know me, you know i love hands and Kayla has very pretty hands. #35mm final edits from a #nature based #boudoir shoot with long time love @kaylaryanharvey who is such a natural in front of the camera, and has been such an epic patron of my w my body only begs for your breath. excepts from a poem i wrote for an old lover + #35mm images from my #portrait session with @_mia_monster at the magical @the.spiritspa in the beginning of Autumn. portrait sessions are about creating the experience before things fell apart, they were really good. #35mm #productphotography #bts for @vanjavukelic_ of her gorgeous ceremonial cloth paintings that I photographed in a haunted cabin I stayed in for a weekend on lsd on Orcas Island during covid. all ash fell from the sky like snowflakes, light cast through a sieve. there was a fire raging somewhere up wind, in sister mountains. the kin of the ancient stone on which we stood and dropped melon seeds. #portrait session of @sacredfem during the ta connected by a 3 mile long rope of women’s hair 🪢 #35mm shots from a #portrait session deep in the heart of the Matilija. This being I admire so deeply, @anais.djin following me barefoot over water and stone until we arrived at the discarded interiors of living prophet @taliamigliaccio art studio when she lived in Venice, briefly. #35mm #interiors
