A lil moss terrarium I made for a dear ones birthday.

Not perfect, but very cozy

Prompt was text from Jeff Vandermeer's strangling fruit passage in the Southern Reach Trilogy in the style of Francisco Goya.

Part of an all day exploration into the cyanotype process. A combination of a negative printed out on transparency and rose petals.

After a year of admiring, documenting and smelling many roses in and around the morcom rose garden I finally got one of my own. This variety is called veranda cream, a compact floribunda that smells like a delicious vanilla sweet.

Dried redwood lake pigment from exhausted dye bath, dried on a coffee filter. Almost looks like an aerial photograph of some strange landscape.

Redwood cones color shifted with iron on cotton. My first foray into natural dyeing. The cones used in the bath were foraged in the Bay Area.

A small seaside graveyard visited while camping in the Gualala Area. I took this photo with my Hasselblad 500cm and Kodak Portra film. Surreal colors come from developing the film myself for the first time and not quite knowing what I was doing.

Somewhere on the Northern Californian coast near Gualala. Taken with a Hasselblad 500CM on Kodak Portra. Developed the color film myself for the first time, and quite like the not so accurate colors that came from it.
