Part of the filmstrip I run in my head when grief feels like too much.

This was taken in December 2021, overlooking Thunder Ridge from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. The clouds moving through the mountains and that quiet, watchful tree have stayed with me ever since. Some images don’t just live in an album — they become places the mind returns to for comfort.

Have you ever avoided being photographed because you didn’t feel “ready”? 📸💭

You’re not alone. So many of us carry stories about our bodies that make us want to hide from the lens.

Some of you may remember Margey the Meerkat (on the left). She used to come along with me on photo shoots. When I’m ready to get back out there with my camera, she’ll have some company — Top Dog, as Dad called him.

Top Dog was Dad’s — the little stuffy he made sure to bring with him when he moved to Virginia to live with us. I’m pretty sure he had originally given it to Mom during one of her hospital stays back in the 90s.

It just feels right that the two of them will come along with me on future photo adventures.

Some music doesn’t just move you — it reminds you.

This is what Love and Pain did to me.

A blend of heartbreak, spirit, and AI visuals.
It awakened something beyond this lifetime.
