It has been lovely watching your photography adventures. I love how you capture my hometown (NYC), and I cannot wait for you to publish your photos. Also, this slaps: “In some ways, pictures put back the redactions in our lives caused by inattention or a lack of care.” So good and so true.

Thank you for sharing your photography journey! I’m still in my season of baking cookies and passing around a lasagna for my imaginary friends, this post is giving me hope (is a discipline)

Something about those party candids reminds me comfortably of a more technical version of the the weird, blurry photographs we took in the aughts.

Beautiful photos of a city I've only visited once (but it was epic), and love your writing....

I am so late to this, but: What were the stews you cooked?

Those things are contrails (condensation trails), not chemtrails. Don't let the dumber conspiracy theorists win! They crowd out the smarter conspiracy theorists.
