Today’s the day: my first publication in a notable online photography magazine has gone live! I am so pleased to announce I have been included in F-Stop Magazine’s True/False Issue, along side dozens of other brilliant artists. Please take a look and see what the June/July issue has to offer!http://www.fstopmagazine.com/groupexhibition.html A series of composites showing a parallel between the spirit and corporeal world, Death as an Old Friend initially began as a revisitation of a past series I completed when I first began exploring photography as an expressive medium. In working with this concept, the project transformed, instead becoming an examination of Death as a sympathetic, grieving figure, rather than the voracious reaper commonly portrayed in modern times.

My dearests,

I am going to wholeheartedly apologize for not being the best of bloggers and updating you all on a regular basis. All of my final projects are being worked on at once, which is consuming, but will result in lots of work to share with you all in the next 2 weeks!

To remedy this lull in the blogosphere, what would you like to see me do keep things interesting? I am thinking of posting personal photos on here as well. I would love to return to film snapshots of pieces of my life. 
Thoughts? Suggestions?

I thank you all eternally for sticking with me. 
I would buy you a coffee or tea if I could.

A small preview for a new series!
Thank you!

Wow, thank you so much to everyone who has recently followed this blog, or even just liked/reblogged a photo of mine. I’m so grateful to have your support and also pleased that my work is making it out into public view. 

At the risk of sounding super self-promotional-y, you can also check out my main website, which I’ll be updating tomorrow evening, or like me on facebook to stay up to date with little tidbits and what not. Links are below!
