flowers (alive, dying, dead) and debris and empty beer bottles and all sorts of sorrows

saw today at the cemetery, i hope they are together in their forever

now i’m in recovery from grief, and i want so fervently to go back to the place that i got stronger before.

jewellery table at the farmer’s market (i bought the silver swan earrings)

i restored this little camera (samsung S760) recently and i’ve been getting to grips with it, really enjoying the challenge. it’s a wonderful and intentional thing to take a camera out of my pocket and take a photo, especially because it’s just a camera, not a social vessel or telephone or entertainment system. i’m not throwing my phone away or anything, it’s just nice to know more about what i feel passionate about. nothing is automatic with this, it’s a bit of technological awareness that has become so easy to bypass with a smartphone and i’m grateful to be learning!!

tracey emin: a second life at the tate modern. it was insanely busy and i can understand why. a ruthless and earnest portrayal of trauma, girlhood, womanhood... having your body treated as a vessel for sex and a territory for disease. but the inherent ache of living is interrupted always by opportunities for joy and creation, moments that Emin never wastes.

new camera, new things to notice everywhere i go

my boyfriend calls me “little strawberry” for a reason!

photos from my walk yesterday. i went along the canal, through the cemetery, past the market stalls and floated from place to place. i love the colours in London, i feel proud.

a little bit obsessed with this simone rocha look from the most recent show… i watched it live and seeing the pieces move doesn’t compare to a photo at all! still this look stuck with me.

i’ve been feeling so unwell the past week. i’m lucky to have pretty things outside of my body to keep me sane.

cats in windows, one of my favourite genres

watches for sale at portobello market. they’d be pretty on their own but even better all together like this 🕰️
