today's truths:
  • i'm out of school for a couple of weeks before summer semester starts & i'm feeling overwhelmed by how much free time i have even though i know it's only for a short time.
  • i'm at a creative crossroad & i don't know what i need to change but i'm trying to allow myself the patience to figure my feelings out about my art.
  •  all i want to do is adventure and explore new places & breathe in fresh air.
  • inspiration is overwhelming lately & i am struggling with comparing myself to others while wanting to bring something fresh and uniquely me to the table. 
  • i can't stop drinking iced coffee. ( needing an intervention ) 
  • i shot a roll of b&w film in yosemite last weekend & it reminded me of just how much i miss the darkroom, hopefully i can sneak back in this fall if i take studio lighting. 
  • i spent the afternoon with my sister the other day & i miss her living close to home & spending girl time, just us whenever we wanted. 
  • looking forward to stamping the shit out of my get to work book & hoping it will keep me straight this summer between work/school/& adventures.
  • daydreaming about exploring is keeping me from accomplishing much these free days but i'm hoping writing it all out helps.

  1. Love this. Mine for today: crawling through another work day as if it was full of hot coals and wondering if I'll be brave enough to bet on myself and leave soon, kicking myself for not packaging up the extra item for June's Feed Your Craft kit until now (the last minute), listening to the On Being podcast episode with Martin Sheen like its my job (still surprised by how much something in it speaks to me), wishing I had a giant Coke Slurpee. *brandi

  2. Love your blog...and I love this concept // Mine for today: Wishing I would do something with the blog I have linked here but just can't seem to get started...loving the anticipation of a storm approaching tonight...obsessed with project life and the pockets! ... wanting to simplify my memory keeping process but I am not really sure what that means :) ... loving movies so much right now I might go broke with rental fees.

    1. i love a good storm & my best advice for your blog is just brainstorm for a few minutes & get to work. starting it doesn't have to be perfect, if you wait for that you'll be waiting forever. just remind yourself it's always a work in progress & start. xo

  3. I'm loving the mood in your photos. So calm and beautiful.

    Truth right now: feeling guilty about hogging space at my studio for a darkroom that I haven't used in months. And needing to go in and develop some rolls and sheets of film that have been sitting on my desk for a month.
    Needing to get out of the city and into the country for air, inspiration and renewal.
    Loving your blog and happy I clicked the link on Studio Calico.
    (If you're ever in Iceland, let's have a darkroom date at my studio)

      if i had a darkroom i don't know if anyone would ever see me, i would just be printing all the time. once you get back in it, i promise you'll be happy you did. do you post your images anywhere? & thanks for checking my blog out, it means a lot. xo
