"I shot this folio in my apartment! I struggled with picking just one theme for the shoot; I considered doing a shoot that was themed around my hobbies, or a nature themed shoot, or a pink-themed shoot. Eventually I decided I wanted poetry, words, to be the thread that ties it all together. Among many other things, I'm a writer, words are my thing. I think several themes ultimately wound their way into the shoot and my thoughts - self care, and Things I Did To Survive The Pandemic. Growing plants, leaving a relationship that wasn't working to eventually move into the home and the nesting partnership I'm in now, making poetry out of recycled letters and packages. The trickiest part of this shoot was taking pictures while I couldn't see myself - one, I'm vain, and it's easier to get a flattering angle on my smartphone, and two, it's just easier to see what I'm doing. I didn't wear makeup for this shoot at all, and on the first day of taking pictures I don't think I bothered combing my hair. Whether you like this shoot or not, I hope you do something fun and silly today. I hope you make yourself a cup of tea and drink at least most of it while it's still hot. I hope you do something small that brings you joy."
