January is coming to a close and I am about 4 months into the healing part of this flare-up. I’ve finished the 3 initial infusions of the new medication I’ll be taking for my Crohn’s Disease and now I’ll move onto what they call On Body Injections that I’ll administer myself. Last SKYRIZI infusion Relaxing… Continue reading Crohn’s Disease Flare-Up: 4 months in

Maternity Photos on Kodak
This article is a little late, but life has been a little bit crazy. I've already posted these photos on my Instagram account, but I wanted to share them in a proper post with information behind them if not for anything but looking back later on. I hope you enjoy my maternity photos on Kodak.… Continue reading Maternity Photos on Kodak
One Shot with Aly – Avocado Season
While I know it is just a tree, to me it is much more than that. It is symbolic for the comfort and purpose nature really serves for us humans as we experience imperfect tribulations all around them.
Testing Cameras on Location: Canon 7, Nikon F, & Kodak Premo No. 2
I’ve been feeling extremely tired lately I think from the medication I am on for Crohn’s Disease, and just from the disease in general. It’s been really challenging for me to go out in the summer heat to take photos. I can’t really explain the type of fatigue that comes with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

The day it came in the mail, I had just missed the mailman and was so upset because it was a holiday weekend and I didn't want my camera sitting in the post office. I tracked down the mailman and got him to give me my package. I'm too embarrassed to even say how I tracked him down. Yes, Rollei had me going temporarily insane.
Why do I Shoot with all of these Cameras? – Hoarding VS Enjoyability
Just like one would spread awareness for a disease I feel that my blog reviews and YouTube videos are also a way of spreading awareness for an institution that will eventually die because these cameras will at some point become extinct. I think it’s this knowledge (unless some company decides to start making film cameras again) that makes photographers like me want to collect cameras and shoot with as many as I can, while I still can.
Life, Loss, and Photography – A Photo Essay
There’s just something about being outside in the solitude of nature and in the quiet that gives me room to think of them, and through the act of taking photos for even just a few minutes I feel as if I’m with them.
