One afternoon I walked to the park with my children. While there, I noticed three young children and the oldest sister (who looked too young for this responsibility) appeared to be in charge of her two younger siblings. As I noticed these children I felt so sad for them and concerned for their safety. I used my camera to take some pictures of nature and the middle of the three siblings was watching me. She began talking to me and was very interested in the picture I had just taken, my camera, telling me about her interest in taking pictures, her instant film camera which she doesn’t have film for right now, that she would like to have a camera like I had. I told her I hoped someday she could have a camera of her own and she said maybe she could when she was older. She asked if she could see the photo I had just taken so I showed her the image of the leaf on my camera screen and she really liked it. She told me an idea she thought would make a good picture—across an open, grassy area, looking into the sunset. I took a quick, simple picture which certainly wasn’t fantastic. I showed her the picture and she said she really liked it (I deeply appreciated her kind words) and I told her that the photo was inspired by her. I felt concerned and sad for this girl, afraid of what could happen to her if she met a dangerous person here at the park. I was so thankful that today she was talking to someone who didn’t intend to harm her, who cared about her and her wellbeing and I was thankful for the connection we made through our interest in photography. I don’t even know what her name was and to me this was a meaningful connection. Due to harmful interpersonal experiences (especially as a child) it’s difficult for me to connect with others and I was thankful that on this day I made a connection with this girl. I would struggle to put into words how these moments were helpful and healing for my own journey and I hope that in some way our time together was perhaps beneficial for this girl as well. While I don’t consider these images anything spectacular, seeing them does remind me of the meaningful connection we shared that day.

____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
If you would like to support my work and my family, one way you can do so is by ordering my zines:
Many thanks for your support.
My last series of 9 was outside of Las Vegas so I thought I'd take this next series back into town. This series is all from around @arialv and a heaven for an architectural photographer like myself.

Mobile phone hands free is the Bluetooth connection that will save you money and a blighted licence. Happy Macro Mondays.
Occasionally, no often, I have a great connection with my subjects. I respect them and vice versa. Although I had already tested her, she still was in for a self-portrait 😉
Oh man! You could do this all this time and nobody told me?!
Seriously though, I guess it's not exactly a game-changer, but I honestly had no idea about this until my 3 year old showed it to me 😅

This is a very special place. At the end of WWII, resistance people were shot here by the occupants. The dead make their presence felt through the monument. People acknowledge the connection by placing small found items on top of the monument. A special energy.
It was morning and I was on my way when I went into a misty area and I saw this epic landscape. Three different but connected trees.
