I first met him in Lincoln City, Oregon. I was 18 and it was the night after I’d graduated high school. A group of us had rented a house in […]

Made a thing. And it works! I found this Lomography Konstruktor DIY camera kit @hauserwirth when I visited in March and stumbled upon an amazing Annie Leibovitz exhibit. It was 35 or 40 bucks and I asked the lady if that was for real. She said, “Yeah, but you have to put it together yourself...” Yeah, that’s exactly why I want it! Fast forward through some whirlwind weeks of leaving Oregon and moving to LA + approx 4 hours documenting the process of putting it together and voila 💫 Every button and dial, and almost every screw and part (aside from the internal light chamber) were assembled by moi. Then taken apart and reassembled to adjust the film advance and rewind mechanisms 😬 I’m still on the first roll, so no photo results yet because #film 🙌🤞But fingers crossed, something visually acceptable will come out of it. If not, it’s already net positive in fun ✨ @lomography #konstruktor #diycamera #slrcamera #analog #longlivefilm #filmphotography #diy #makestuff

I arrived in time for May Grey and not mad about it one bit. In fact, it is a welcome reminder of my first, true concept of home in Oregon. ☁️ Here, everything is new and seemingly unfamiliar- the palm trees and flora in general, the architecture, the people and sounds are figurative Kool-Aid for my curiosity- offering endless routes for exploration. Yet it is my home because it is where I am now, so I’m trying to settle in to the unfamiliarity.🌴 How do we make a place Home? I’m in the throes of learning this lesson right now, and I imagine it won’t be the first time I’m enrolled in this course. So, if you have any insights, I welcome them with open head and heart! 💦 #oregoninla #palmtree #homeawayfromhome #homeiswheretheheartis

Progress report: I mastered a new level of Tetris yesterday 🏆 Next up: Another detailed study into the possessions that will continue on in this journey, and which will be left behind💥#tinyhouse #tinyhouseliving #onward #LAorbust

About a month ago, I was in L.A walking along Venice Beach with @owlita and @steadyhome when this scallop shell washed up at my feet. I gasped and Ashley said, “Scallop shells are a sign of good luck!” My mind went immediately to another type of symbolism, though- that of direction. I haven’t yet walked the Camino, but i was thinking of the scallop as a prolific symbol for pilgrims, pointing out the direction of next steps and next stops. Two days later, I flew back to Portland after looking at an apartment in Silver Lake that Ashley had applied for. I was heading out the door the next morning when she called to say she’d been approved for it. And so it has come to be that I’m moving to L.A at the end of April ✨Following a sign and a deep calling for a completely new adventure in my days 🌴 Leaving Douglas firs for palm trees, spring showers for spring flowers, the lush and damp forests for the desert. If we don’t get a chance to connect before I leave, please come visit me in the Sunshine State! In the meantime, I’ll be packing, organizing and (spring) cleaning for the millionth time 🤗 xoxo #signssignseverywheresigns #scallopshell #symbolism #everydaymagic

Celebrated these birthday babes and ushered in a landmark myself. Two of us turned 1 within one week of each other, and then I just have a few more years added on 😉 Many thanks to the mamas, papas and grandparents that shared your precious ladies with us 💙 #birthdaygirls #arieswomen #newgeneration
