It’s getting chilly here and I’m eager to pull out all my vintage winter wear!
Sure is nice to finally put my fabulous coats and wools to use, no more languishing away in a SoCal closet ❄️

She has a finely tuned aesthetic that leans to the strange,dark,inscrutable, and kinky. And then there are items she's collected which exhibit a banality that like a David Lynch film suggest that the slightest scratch to the surface will reveal a depth of darkness that you may not wish to penetrate

This trip gave me my first real opportunity to photograph stained glass. I can’t say I was super successful (about 1 in 8 came out properly) but after getting some helpful tips from photog friends I am certainly eager to try again! 📸

“You’re always telling people to support indie bookstores over billionaires.”
Yeah, it’s called having a consistent brand voice and a conscience.

Sure, I went overboard on the sheep photos, but the sheer number of pheasant shots totally balanced it out 😅🤣📸

What a treat it was to photograph the misericords at Cartmel Priory, which date back to around 1440. Growing up in Los Angeles, a building from 1900 feels old, so it’s such a joy to visit a place with this much history.

I just ordered Erin’s latest found photo zine, A Violent Life. Her previous photo zines, Danse Macabre and Untamed were excellent, and I can’t wait see this one. She has a good eye and a knack for choosing the perfect image.
AVAILABLE NOW: A Violent Life
The photos found in A Violent Life can only be called "controlled horror." Never intended for publication or mass consumption, they are personal, mostly inscrutable, and often fascinating.

Based on the amount of candy handed out, I estimate tonight’s trick-or-treaters at about 150.
