I just wanted to announce my new photo zine is up for sale on Magcoud!
It is the third installment from my series, Riding in Cars with Film. The first two zines got really nice feedback, and have really helped me keep this site and my YouTube channel going in terms of expenses. Thank you to everyone who has bought those over the years.
This zine was shot with all black and white film, and I will be coming out with even more photos in the color edition in the near future. It covers the years 2020 through 2023, and I am so proud of this one.
When I first started this series, it was a means to raise a little bit of money to keep this site going, but it has evolved into so much more. I started taking photos from the passengers seat back in 2019 when I first started getting back into photography again, and at the time I was so sick that I couldn’t walk without help and was mostly in a wheelchair. Taking photos from the car window was my solution to not being able to go for photo walks. From there it evolved into a really helpful way to cope and distract myself when going to doctors appointments, which gives me great anxiety.
Then came the pandemic. This period of time we all were confined to our homes and cars. The series just continued to transform into whatever my life needed it to be in that moment. From 2020 to 2023, my little corner of the world was changing dramatically around me and left me with a lot of different feelings.
In that time I became a mother and my perspective on a lot of things has changed. I put a lot of time and care into this volume, and I hope it shows. I have sequenced the photos to tell a story and to communicate that change in the world around me.
On top of all of that, it has been really fun to see how much my style and skill set has improved since I created the first zine. I hope you all can see it too. I hope you enjoy the book if you pick it up, because this series really has been for you all. Having your support through these years has meant the world to me, and this little project has been my thank you for giving me the space to share, and grow without judgement.
As always, make sure you stay motivated, and keep shooting.
