Los Parques y Jarin de San Miguel de Allende

 Gardens. Parks. Backyards. 

Nature contained within a city. 

They are controlled and organic spaces. 

Spaces set apart for escape.  

 It’s dichotomy of finding space to be alone and to be surrounded, 

to find solitude and to socialize. 

They are spaces of refuge from hot streets, reflecting a cool wildness.

 Reflecting a desire with in us to step away if only for a moment from our lives and just be. 

Framing Love

I had the privilege of being part of the Framing Love exhibit at THEARC. It was some of the most fun I’ve had all semester. Some pretty amazing people trusted me enough to let me take their portraits. The exhibit was part of collaboration between the Corcoran New Media Students and THEARC community. Another component of the project was to give talented students a disposable camera and tell them to frame the people they love. The results were incredible. The show will be on display until May 26, so go check it out! Thank you Tara Malik, Becky Harlan, and Paul Bothwell for putting together this project.

Portrait of a Festival // Telluride Colorado // Part 1

It’s the music and sweat of a festival. It’s the sound of a sun baked crowd. It’s the friendship of strangers around the sound of a chord. It’s boys with super soakers and girls with fairy wings.  It’s dancing barefoot in the grass and cooling off in the river. It’s the taste of beer and smell of Mary Jane in the air. It’s tarps and porta-potties. It’s the sound of a banjo finding it’s way to you though the crowd. It’s the cowboy who raised cows on the grass your standing on. It’s the hippie who comes every year from California, a 30 hour bus ride. It’s a nomad from Wisconsin and the proclaimed mayor of Town Park. It’s a mother and daughter thing. It’s the slide of dulcimer.  It’s a troubadour’s first time in Telluride.  It’s the grandeur of the mountains and the smallness of the stage. It’s bluegrass in Telluride.
