once upon a time...

I finally processed the last of the mystery film. This is another roll from 2005, this time shot in the Holga. I know this was from when I first acquired that camera, because it still had the 6x4.5 mask in it. I'm guessing I only shot a couple rolls like... Continue reading

up and down..and up and down

Isn't that that way it goes? I think I don't let it upset me so much any more...maybe I'm learning to ride the waves better. Still...it's...tiring. I've seen so much that's been inspiring lately. I've had great conversations that have been motivating. And yet...the dips and depressions (sometimes quite literally... Continue reading

Happy New Moon!

But let me share something old with you! I had had several rolls of film sitting unprocessed for a long time. A few I knew were from 2014...ok, that's not terribly unreasonable and I'll be getting to those. But for a number of other rolls, I had no idea when... Continue reading

working on zine "in an instant" vol 2

I'm going to be having some text to go along with the instant photos in the next volume ****************************************************************** I used to be afraid to fly. Like, super phobic kind of fear. I'm not even sure when that started - maybe after I had kids. But there were almost a... Continue reading

down by the river

I had my pinhole camera in hand when I joined up the kids camp a few days ago. It's always a good time. And when I processed and looked at what I'd gotten on the film I thought, "Next time, Therese, go when you can really be present with what... Continue reading

resetting the creative flow

I was having trouble getting to work today. Right in front of me on my desk are numerous piles of Instax mini prints. There are at least two projects on which I'm working that's using these. But...I was restless, or overtired (the story of my life), or something and instead... Continue reading

a little more lovin's...

...for the east bay. This is the last of the film from May in the bay area (San Francisco bay area...I learned after moving to the mid-Atlantic, some people thought I was talking about Chesapeake bay when referencing the bay area). It was a lovely trip. I can tune in... Continue reading

No words, really...

...well, maybe a few. I scanned the last of the negatives from the film that I shot in California. That's over a month ago now. Where does the time go? I'm struck by how my memories often feel just like dreams. The two frequently have the same nebulous quality. It's... Continue reading

Can you believe it? We've already reached the seasonal halfway mark of the year. And it's a beautiful day as well! It almost feels like the first day of autumn, rather than summer...cooler and drier than it has been. While I know it won't last, I'm enjoying it nonetheless! I... Continue reading

something feels different

A couple mornings ago I woke up and my head went around in the usual circles it does. There was a familiar feeling of aloneness and melancholy. The weird thing was, the point at which the response to cry happens, I choked on my tears. It was so strange. It... Continue reading

it's all about the garden

I'm practicing something new in the garden...or at least I'm trying. I'm trying to let it do it's thing. I'm trying to not fret if certain plants don't grow the way I want them to. I'm practicing compassion for the microcosm that is the garden I tend. I'm trying to... Continue reading

sunshine and lumen prints

I've been wanting to use some of my bread seed poppy flowers in prints. Going back to earlier work that focuses on ancestral themes, I included buckwheat, dill and mushrooms as well (the mushrooms being the only ingredient not grown in my yard). What did my mother's mother's mother's mother... Continue reading

room with a view?

I made a comment in a pinhole group on facebook, that I've created a ritual of taking pinhole photos of hotel rooms I stay in. It's true. I think it started as a lark, but if I look back over the past ten or fifteen years (or however long I've... Continue reading

Thank the ptb for caffeine...

I'm sipping my tea, uploading some more pinhole and Holga images to my Flickr...and feeling at least a little more, what? Hopeful? It's been three days without sunshine and while that means it's been cooler (and, thankfully, the rain has just been rain and not storms), my spirits have not... Continue reading

Over the past 24 hours or so, I've spent a good deal of time scanning and adjusting film from my May trip to California. Also...I've binged the entire new Tales of the City series on Netflix. It's definitely been a west coast vibe going on in my head. The new... Continue reading

where'd the sun go?

Funny...I had just been psyching myself up to make more lumen and cyanotype prints today. That doesn't look like it's going to happen. Lots of rain and gray skies out there, at least for this first half of the day. The good news is...currently the winds are calm! A little... Continue reading

photo mag on Blurb

I didn't agonize over this one in the end. I did at first, then I'm like, "fuck it...just get it up there, you're not looking for any awards." I'm still flailing (it feels like)...frantically trying to be productive and not nearly as settled and focused as I'd like. Anyway...if you're... Continue reading

On occasion, I'm the recipient of random collections of expired film. I recently used a couple rolls of Kodak Tmax400 (expired some time around 2000, I think)...one in the Holga and one in the Zero. The resulting negatives are actually pretty good, considering how old the film was. I've been... Continue reading

Another hot day...

...but it should be cooling off (a bit) after this. My current book project is giving me trouble. Or should I say...there's been user error with the software, I think. A long detour is being taken, but that's okay since it offers an opportunity for more thought towards what I'm... Continue reading

Memorial Day weekend has come and gone and it sure feels like summer is here. I’m gearing up (psyching myself?) for a productive season art wise, even if I’m not exactly sure what that means yet. I’ve got another book (magazine to be specific) project in the works, but really... Continue reading

prelude to summer

The temperature is supposed to creep up to 90F today. At 2pm it's right around 88F, so I see no reason why it won't top out at at least the forecast high. It's humid too. Last night I didn't open the house, which is atypical. I think the low was... Continue reading

I've been thinking about this. I've been wondering if accepting surrealism as a personal philosophy would help diminish my anxiety. Sounds weird, huh? Part of what makes me anxious, is sometimes bumping up against my own headspace that feels, well, surreal...not grounded in a static form of reality. So I... Continue reading
