Struggle

It’s difficult to put into words my thoughts, feelings, fear, and grief with the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. It’s surely put a greater challenge in my life right now. I’m thankful for community to be in grief with, to have people around me that understand my fears and pains because they have the same ones themselves. I am hopeful that heaviness will one day turn into energy for action and activism. For now, I need to allow myself to lay low, to hermit and care for myself, to check in with community when I can and show them support as well.

Film has always been an outlet for me - for the highs and lows and everything in between. Here are a few scans from a roll I’ve been shooting for the past month or so…

Experimental Film at the Museum

September 18th, 2024 at the Crocker Art Museum. Harman Phoenix 200 iso, shot on my Canon AT.

A Mix of Recent Captures

A collection of moments from the antiques faire, photographing my (newish) apartment, experimenting with self-portraits on my Rolleiflex, and an evening downtown.

Back Again

A few weekends ago I went to Berkeley for the afternoon and a concert at The Greek. It’s one of my favorite venues, and this time I got to see Lake Street Dive for the first time. I took the train down there and caught a ride home with friends who also went to the show.

Made my usual stops at Stonemountain & Daughter, Pegasus Books, and then a new stop at Roses’ per recommendation from new friends. The space is so lovely. It’s a wine, beer, and small bites spot with great vibes and customer service.

LA for the Day

I flew down to LA recently to get tattooed by Alyssa DiGirolamo. I got three pieces done and love them so much. Couldn’t recommend Alyssa enough. She was so kind, cool, and does incredible work.
