#deskthings

Desk things. After months of stagnation and inertia my muse is back. TF for that, right? It went into a spontaneous hibernation some time around June and then last week it reappeared from nowhere. If you get my newsletter you can read more about this, and what has come with it. Meanwhile, I’m finding things like this on my desk and can’t wait to begin playing with them 🤗 #returnofthemuse #deskthings #doodlesinpaint #scrappaperart #allthecolors #watercolorandink #splashypatterns https://www.instagram.com/p/BnQ1u0jnZYt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h5lh7vquv8p2

I think the theme of the night was just to mess around with my tripod and manipulate light. I decided to change my career (...again) from being a teacher around the time and probably was figuring out how the whole freelance photography thing works. I think I was reading up on #herbritts and got inspired. I liked the idea of documenting things as they were in that specific time and place. I wondered what it would be like to see it years later. Not just portraits...but things, people, and events. The feelings and sentiment as well. It's a powerful thing that is often overlooked but really appreciated. I wanted a small part of it. I think I was holding my grandfather's study glasses and case. No reason. I just like to keep little mementos on my desk. #2013 #selfportrait #deskthings
