Film & Polaroids with Drake Avenue
Drake Avenue and I have been friends for years and have created together several times. If you’ve been around for a while you probably remember some of the things we’ve created together over the years (at waterfalls, in corn fields, purplechrome in the forest just to name a few). I’m so lucky that I have so many wonderful creative friends that live near me! We took these in and around my parents house (that I now live in again! YAY!)CURRENTLY: It’s Wednesday the 27th because I always prep these weekly posts early (you know how important consistency is for me!), and I can hardly believe I’ll be 30 years old on the 30th (the day this goes live)! I still definitely feel like a teenager sometimes, or like a little kid, or like a twenty-something year old. Time is so weird and it’s useless to fight against it. When I get older I’m reminded that age is really just a number and it’s not about how many circles around the sun you’ve made, but more about how you’ve spent your time while doing it. I am so thankful that this is the life I lead… 5 years ago I couldn’t have imagined being a self employed artist. It’s been my dream for SO LONG and here I am LIVING IT! THANK YOU!! YOU ARE THE REASON I CAN BUY FOOD AND FILM AND GAS! THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH! <3Even with how excited and honored I am to be able to do this, I still long for more. I want more fulfillment, more excitement, more community involvement, more HEALING. I don’t exactly know what’s next, but I have an idea, and I am so looking forward to starting to make it a reality.But first, I hibernate. =]Don’t worry, I’ll still be as consistent as ever on here. I just won’t be on social media for a week or two. That’s gonna feel REALLY GOOD.

We’re leaving super early on Saturday morning! Probably something like 5 am. We’ll be driving for two days straight to get to our friend’s place in Denver. I’m so ready to be in the mountains exploring, hiking, creating. My wanderlust has just gotten more intense, pulling me toward unfamiliar landscapes. I am so ready to hit the road.
The only thing is… we still have to pack! I’m working until 1 pm so I’ll only have half of the day to finish getting ready to leave. We’re also making time at some point tomorrow to visit friends, one of which is about to move all the way across the country to Portland. Now we really have no reason to NOT visit the west coast, hopefully in the next year or so. I’ve been wanting to visit that side of the country for so long, it’s about time I finally made the trip out there. I’m gonna make it happen. Wanderlust. I has it.
The above are all self portraits from a weekend in the NC mountains.
The above images are double exposures I took of Roarie Yum on medium format film.

Doubles and slide film with Hannah Elizabeth
Earlier this year Hannah Elizabeth, Antisocialdisposition and I met at our friend Michael O’Neill‘s (who is also a photographer!) condo that was empty because he had it on the market but it hadn’t sold yet. We all took turns photographing each other… you might remember the photos that Hannah took of me & AD that I’ve already shared. It was a really great afternoon of creating and spending time together. I’ve said it before, but I’m so thankful that there are some wonderful creatives that live here in Charlotte with me!CURRENTLY: I’m settling into my new/old house after moving back into my childhood home with my parents last weekend. I’m really loving being back here again after 9 years of living elsewhere, and since my parents are still on their own cross country road trip adventure I’ve had the house to myself, which has been really nice. They’re coming back home sometime late December and I’m honestly just so excited to see them and live with them again! Instead of moving back into my old childhood bedroom, my new bedroom is in the sunroom which has 3 out of 4 walls that are covered in windows, and I have my own entrance, AND I’m closest to our outside patio/backyard oasis! I absolutely love it, I feel like I’m even closer to nature and I am really enjoying the super quick access outside. I still have some decorating to do (I’m gonna FILL UP the one wall with art!), but I’m basically done unpacking and my room feels so cozy already!

A week from today we’ll be leaving for Colorado! I’m so so so excited. There will be lots of hiking and nature and photos. And driving. Lots of driving. It’s about a 24 hour drive to get there. We’ve turned the back of my little hatchback into a tiny bed so that we can switch off driving and sleeping. The goal is to get there as quickly as possible! But we might make some stops along the way to stretch our legs and walk around in cities we haven’t been to before. Who knows. It’s going to be an adventure! We really don’t have much planned other than what city or national park we’ll be in each day. I’m usually a super planner and have EVERYTHING planned, almost down to the hour. I’ve been changing a lot this year so I’m excited to make the plans as we go along. This is so not 2015 Bunny but 2016 Bunny is kinda scared and mostly thrilled. We’ll be staying with a friend in Denver and most likely camping/roughing it in the national parks. We might possibly get an airbnb or cheap hotel at some point. Anything is possible when you don’t have a solid plan!
