I recently spent 10 days in Death Valley National Park with my guy, and we REALLY made the most of our time there. I can say with confidence that I worked my tail off, trying to maximize my opportunities to make some new work. We hiked a total of 76 miles during our time there! To whet your palate (and mine), I’m pre-releasing a mini-collection of the images I made on the trip, with the rest forthcoming after I transition out of this very busy time.

I’m so excited to share that I will be joining a group of incredible photographers as an instructor at the Out of Chicago, Live! 2023 online conference coming February 3-5.

For the last couple of months I have been intensely focused on the creation of my newest endeavor, The Riversong Project, and today I’d like to write a little bit about the what, where, why, and how of this exhibit opening and ebook drop.

After years of feeling disconnected from the landscapes of Appalachia, recent discoveries about the connections between this land and the lands of Ireland and Japan helps me open up to feeling more at home here. Exploring these connections visually in a new personal project, Musings on Motherland, is a part of that exploration.
