With this series I wanted to personify my feelings about Winter. A week before Christmas two years ago, one of my best friends passed away suddenly. That group of friends are family, and have been since middle school and early high school, and I've seen them grow so much over the past two years. Being that it was our first death, it hit us hard, and as soon as it gets cold all of those memories come back. This year though, rather than bummin about the loss of such a beautiful soul, we have to focus on the positive. The fact that we got to be so close with someone so distinctly unique and wonderful, and to exude love, kindness and inner beauty. When you're dealt with such a tragedy in your life, there's nothing you can do besides creating more love and beauty in the world. So rather than focusing on the loss that my "extended family" and I experienced (like I've done in previous work), I wanted to show that love and beauty help lessen the blow. The dead tree branches represent death and life, the flowers represent beauty, and the fog is like the daze we all walked around in, with the light being the light of love.

Oh, the number of things being said here...but please, please, please do not worry, I assure you I am in a happy and healthy mental state!!! First thing G asked me when he saw this was "are you okay? Why are you doing that? Should I be worried?!?!" I promise, I am okay.
I also just want to say I'm like seriously proud of myself for pulling this off because I didn't think I could.
I am nowhere near the person I was 2 years ago. And while I truly am in a much better place, especially now with things with the house promising to wrap up by the end of this week, I'm different. Better, I think. I'm so much happier and moving forward finally. That resolve I've been waiting for is almost here and I can feel it creeping in, along with a certain inner peace. But, the old me had to die. That shy, scared, hermit of a person had to go away, otherwise everything I did would have been for nothing. I'm still coming out of my shell, I'm still healing and moving forward, but I feel like I've made so much progress that finally something like this photo was appropriate. I don't want to go back there to that place, to that person, to that life. So, yeah, sorry, the old me had to die. :D
So, cheers to being happy and moving forward!!

I walked J & A to school, then put Vivien in the jogger and took her to her first day of preschool. She was so ready for it and told me to come back and pick her up after school. I walked home, which kept my mind occupied. But when I walked into the house, our routine was gone. She wasn't there to let me know it was snack time or that she wanted to play memory game. Instead, it was quiet and I had a pit in my stomach. I was looking forward to some alone time after 9 years home with my kids but it turned out to be a bit happysad.

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward is a feature length documentary work which presents a case for a transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society.
When found by the artist, this small oyster shell had a perfectly round hole drilled into it, perhaps by a predator. The hole was a perfect fit for a light-emitting diode.
It dimly blinks the “Arecibo message,” a transmission sent towards star cluster Messier 13 from the then-new Arecibo radio telescope in 1974. Though it was considered a “message to aliens,” the Arecibo transmission was brief, less than three minutes in duration, and was sent only once. It was a demonstration of the telescope creators’ technical prowess more than an earnest attempt to advertise humanity.

It's been the most awesome summer so far...
Man... I haven't had this much fun in gahd knows how long.
I'm feeling free again.
I'm feeling like myself again.
It feels really good to be on the right path.
The girls'll be on a plane to Portland and I've got the better part of a month to myself!
I gotta get a backpacking trip in and I'll be doing a lot of street shooting too.
The sunshine's been great for shooting the faces I see on the street...
But the sunglasses... they've been a problem... it seems like everyone's wearing them.
I hope you're enjoying your summer too... exploring... diggin' a little 'summer love' and feelin' like everything's alright.

April 11, 2020: I’m finding walking barefoot in the grass has become something I need to do daily. It helps increase my vibration. It helps me feel connected to the Earth and it’s energy. It helps me remember the reverence I have for all life. It helps ease the stresses of life. It helps me be present and grounded in the moment, even if it’s for just a moment. I breathe in, and I feel life filling my body. I breathe out, and I know that I am alive, and I am happy for it. Today, the grass was cool even though the sunshine beaming down was warm.
Thank you @aaron_doughty44 for promoting this practice that I’m now incorporating into my life.
It’s been 12 days since my last emotional breakdown. I don’t even like the word breakdown but not sure how I can reword this to be more affirming and kind to myself. And this #photo is a part of my subverted selfie project of 2020, photo 102/366.

This series juxtaposes the torn and dirty USian flag with the naked bodies of all genders, races, sexuality, nationality, and cultural backgrounds. The U.S. was alleged to be the most open and tolerant country but it fails to welcome people from various backgrounds equally. This series aims to document and capture people's bodies, their vulnerability, emotions, and strength through/with the cut USian flag.

Sometimes it is fun to go back and think about your past... all of the memories that come along with it.. just.. make you sit back and smile, maybe shudder.. cry.. or.. whatever.
This past weekend I took Cara by my old house. I lived here in this house in Roseville for 12 years. When we were cruising down the street... I pointed out things that I remembered. A house that my parents had designated as a boundary for as far as I could travel.. Neighbors that used to live here, landscaping that used to be there..
Its even stranger when you think about who lives in the house now, and the possible memories that they had created where you used to be... how one thing doesn't ever really belong to someone.. but, you are just there for a moment in time...
