Camping in the Catskills

Last week I went on an awesome camping trip with one of my best friends, Joe. Our time consisted of tooling around in the car, hiking to waterfalls, tipping over canoes, and bourbon. I always look forward to my time in the woods with Joe because of the conversation and the adventures we go on.  And of course there's nothing better than chatting around a campfire with one of your friends, looking up at the stars, with a cold beer in your hand. 

All photos taken on Pentax 6x7

Human Nature

Human Nature is a collaborative series by Erica Simone and myself. 

On view at the Adorama Gallery from July 23rd to August 16th, 2015

Many world philosophies view humanity as being One with all of life: all that exists, existed and will ever exist. As nature grows around us and as constellations surround us, we realize we were all once star dust: elements from the cosmic, descendants of the universe. We were once all born so simply in nature, surviving off the Earth—it was and is a part of us, around us. We communicated with the trees, spoke to the stars, looked into the winds for guidance. As animals, we relied on the land to feed us, to clean us, to shelter us. We are nature.

As artists who appreciate the meticulous complexities of the Earth’s natural realm, we wanted to create imagery that tells a primitive story of man: that we are, indeed, all One. We shared our photographs, blending landscapes into silhouettes, superimposing the ligaments, muscles and bones of nature, creating collaborations to unify human and Earth as we realize their complete unison.

Portraits in the Fall

I realize I haven't posted in a year on this blog and it's time to start it up again and keep the world and myself updated. These are photographs I took in the woods near Cold Spring, NY with my wonderful boyfriend Matt. On the way down the mountain from our hike we captured the final moments of daylight in golden hour and photographed each other.

There is a sense of calm during the last hours of daylight. The light is rapidly disappearing and the shadows are constantly changing but the sun is tucking all the trees and the flowers and the animals in for the night until she rises again in the morning.
