abstraction helps us grasp the real thing. it’s been a minute.the last time I released an episode was in May-right in the midst of the loss and grief that swallowed me for a while. this is not a grand re-entrance, just a stumbling ramble back into this unending conversation of what it means to see in real time. In this episode I talk about the moment I finally opened my nostalgia now photographic journaling ritual again after the longest hiatus I ever took from it.Through it I rediscover how the blur and abstraction, instead of taking me away from reality, actually pull me closer to it. every photograph doesn't have to be about what’s gone,it gets to be a correspondence with what’s still here. I share what it’s been like to feel creative again after lossand to find the side doors back into presence when the front one feels jammed. this is me re-entering into this space- blurry eyed and awake. subscribe on substack for the visual version of this episode.
