None of my work - none of these blog posts, my resume, increasingly unhinged cover letters, even my linkedin profile - uses ai. I'm working to put together some sort of official statement on that. Like I have a diversity statement on my homepage that I have gotten multiple positive comments from. I want to … Continue reading AI Statement

TOO MANY IDEAS!
I had an interaction yesterday at my job at the frame shop with a gallery in San Francisco. They represent photographers - some fabulous current artists and a whole slew of others as the gallery has been open since the 70s. It got me thinking as many of the artists had catalogues of their work … Continue reading TOO MANY IDEAS!
One of these things is not like the other…
At the shop this week, I worked on a little task where I was pulling names, principals, and email addresses of interior design firms in the metro area. A modern yellow pages search, if you will. Started with our location and worked out. Click on a website, copy, click "about," write down the name of … Continue reading One of these things is not like the other…
It’s Funny.
I know my clients. I try to keep rough track of what industry the grownups work in and the ages/grades of the kids. Part of DC is a small town and it's fun to find out so-and-so works at this agency and knows the guy I dated in college who also works there. Or our … Continue reading It’s Funny.
Thoughts on a photography career. That’s not over…yet.
As always, as a neurodivergent perimenopausal women trying to make a living without working in a cubicle ever again, I struggle with EVERYTHING. Imposter syndrome is rife in a world where I run my business by my gut and not how "they" think a small photography business is "supposed" to work. Because I do things … Continue reading Thoughts on a photography career. That’s not over…yet.
You Guys.
End of summer wrap up! It's August. I'm exhausted. Getting ready for the adventures ahead and? The Job Search is happening hard. Welcome to crazytown. And I have mental health issues so I can say that.
Good lord. July.
Dearest gentle reader, I am terrible at this blogging thing. I promise you there are many posts that are created in my head whilst driving or trying to sleep or doing any other daily task that never make it out of my brain and onto the keyboard. Alas. Never ever ever enough hours in the … Continue reading Good lord. July.

I use to have a brain.
What the heck, people. Have you read about women hitting peri-menopause and suddenly their brains stop working? And then they end up with a late diagnosis of ADHD, autism, or some other form of neurodiversity? Yeah. Somethings up. My therapist agrees. I probably won't have the money for a proper neuro-psych eval anytime soon but … Continue reading I use to have a brain.
Summer coming around the corner!
Holy Spring. I only seem to write here when I'm gasping for breath at the end of another season or chapter. I had a bar mitzvah, a wedding, two schools, multiple seniors, a new baby, and somehow only one family photoshoot. Tonight it's prom pics! Looks like june will be another mitzvah and two swim … Continue reading Summer coming around the corner!
