Dust Particles #1

The calm after the storm - a neighborhood stroll

Happy Friday friends~

I want to introduce you to my visual journal, inspired by

Susanne Helmert

.
A mantra I stood with (and still stand by) when I jumped back into photography was, “finding beauty in the everyday and ordinary.”

Corny and cliche. I know.

But living in the Midwest, let alone the suburbs, sometimes it’s hard to find breathtaking scenery. So a mantra like the one above really has helped me to enjoy the usual, mundane, and ordinary things in life.

“Dust Particles” is a visual journal of photos I’ve taken over recent days and weeks. I won’t be sending these out each week (yay for less digital clutter), but when I feel that I’ve curated some great shots. It’s also helpful for me to stay off the Gram and keep most, if not all of my work on Substack. I genuinely want to grow on this platform because it seems much healthier than other ones out there.

Anyways, I hope the shots I share here bring you joy/calm/peace/tov as you wind down the week.

Cheers!
