A creative flower curating a simple, artistic life.
After leaving my previous job and ending the chapter, it was time for another adventure. But I wanted this adventure to be a special one to celebrate Earth Day. Not to mention that my overworked hands and feet needed some TLC and I longed to dip them into a more... natural source of water. So [...]
So yesterday I had a moment of spontaneity. I had received a wide angle lens from KEH Camera and I was testing it out in the rooms of my parents’ house because I wanted to see if I could practice doing some photography for real estate. As expected, the photos didn’t turn out very good, [...]
For the first time in several days, the weather in north Florida decided to cooperate and become fair again. My mood was in a deep hole of depression and anger for days and I knew I had to leave the house for fresh air and sunshine. So, after a warm shower, I got dressed, hopped [...]
The day before yesterday, I had a depressive episode (or meltdown, whatever you wish to call it) and raged for about two hours that morning. I’ve been feeling like that for days and I knew that having outbursts like that were not only unhealthy, but irritating to the other occupants of the house. I knew [...]
A little over a week has passed since I completed my seasonal job over on Monhegan Island, a remote island located an hour away from the state of Maine. So many things have happened during my time on the island, but a couple of things stood out the most as the days flew by. For [...]
I’ve been photographing on rolls of film for long time, ever since I developed my first roll of film in college. But the process of shooting on film with one of my cameras, developing the film and scanning in the negatives was a lengthy process that, at the time, I didn’t have the time for. [...]
It was time to return to the mainland due to me missing its convenience for several weeks. But today, the weather wasn’t cooperating with the many ships out at sea and a viscous fog hung menacingly over the ocean. No amount of visibility from the island for miles away. That didn’t stop the captain of [...]
*Credit: Image by David Gunter Jackson.* August is here and I’ve been finding myself cramming some drawing and painting into my free time as much as possible. Maybe it’s because I feel that the time is passing by quickly and each day feels exactly the same on the island. But I do know that my [...]
I’ve been on a journey of trying to take better care of my hair and I was getting really tired of dropping tons of money on products I never finished or simply didn’t work. Plus, I wanted to support more Black-owned businesses since I felt like some of them weren’t really get much attention these [...]
Another day off, another opportunity for exploration of an unknown area. After filling my belly with a warm breakfast, I wondered what trails on the island I haven’t taken yet. I thought about getting the map from my room, but I decided against it. I wanted this next place to be found by simply following [...]
