I haven't done much modelling. My approach in this shoot was to release my internal emotional state and entanglements, and to give it to the camera. To let the lens absorb it. What do you think I giving to the camera? (In the modern colloquial, and literal sense)

This was during an in class studio session. Playing with Flags, key side lighting, and on axis fill. Thank you to Ray for capturing these.

Past few months (last pic is authentic me)

The 2023 year has been a a huge exploration of the feminine polarity in my life. From Emotional expression to absolute surrender and letting go into what life brings. Listening more to the fundamental energy of life that drives this body; what it needs, and how it wants to move. Life has an infinite number of ways of showing/reflecting your reality and truth back at you, it is up to you to listen and look directly into your own experience in order to truly make a change.

Aside from the spiritual stuff, I remain the same curious ape. May your year be fruitful.

In this post:

visiting the Philippines to explore Self and family. Experiencing and witnessing a vast spectrum of life and culture. Will write more on this later.

Visiting Korea for a quick, cold, coffee adventure in Gangneung.

Diving deeper into a new art medium (pottery)

Moving my body in many ways.

And always taking the time to be outside.

Pottery, poetry, and memories past. My life the past 2 months, and a poem about love:

The highest love, the love of self
How can one pour from an empty shell?
Platonic, familial, romantic
Seeking of love turning frantic
Can you give and receive?
Vulnerable hearts, prone to bleed
Feeling fully, into the unknown
A journey to the depths may we be shown,
the path, path into our light.
No reason to fight.
Resist greatly, learn your lessons
Human life is a short session
Each moment is so dear
The inevitability, near
Can you listen, do you hear?
The sound of the wind, the trees.
Here.
