To me August means birthdays. Two partners, two nephews, and my mother all celebrate another year lived this month. Lots of Zoom parties and mailing gifts. Life is still very busy, but much of it has nothing to report. School is back in session and all remote, thankfully. That isn’t without its own challenges and learning curves. Once that uncertainty settles, I have lots of crafts to pursue. Things that have been shelved for too long in service of something more urgent or accountable to someone else. While the weather lasts, I’m taking strolls around the neighborhood and advantage of the forest preserves. Largely tuning out the noise of the apocalypse when I do so. Just a momentary reprieve. Chasing ghosts of memories for a time gone by...
Summer is coming to a close. I’m nostalgic for a time when I could frolic in the woods with my dear heart. Our special guest this month is Amber. We’ve been causing havoc and breaking hearts for well over a decade. Shooting the set with, photographer extraordinaire, Simon was an absolute blast. Squirt guns, wet tees, and intimate moments. What more could anyone ask for?! VIPs are getting the full 46 image photoset, and Backstage Patrons also get 19 beyond-the-set images this month! Be sure you're logged in on my site to view the images. Feel free to give the set some love by leaving a comment or clicking the heart below. As always, thank you to all my Patrons. You make art happen.
