It’s that time again - #lovelydeadcrap season.

I have a strong familiarity with death and its unfolding, especially in humans, and a kinship with death and dead things, all in the most holy, positive and beautiful sense…

“Death is our friend precisely because it brings us into absolute and passionate presence with all that is here.” — Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (1929)

I’ve been taking cactus flower pictures with my new iPhone 15 Pro Max. I ran this one thru the Distressed FX app for color and textural effects. #iphonography #DistressedFX #digitalphotograpy

Felt good to get back to choir this evening. Depression is constantly lurking in the shadows hunting for weaknesses at this time of year so having a way to just be in the moment and get a reprieve from the feelings of everyday stress is truly valuable. Kind of like when I’m creating my art.

Image is repost of one I created back in 2018.
