Oh Sweet Tea
There is more to sweet tea than sugar and ice There is more to herbs than smoke and spice I want to share my love and appreciation for tea because I realize that everyone did not grow up with this exposure to holistic teas and alternative healing. I may not be the stereo type poster for natural healing, but I know my teas.

The Lemon Dress
My mother will tell you I always had my own taste in fashion. I would wear dance costumes to the library. I would wear plaid vests with mixed print clothes, tights, and sneakers. She always let me dress myself and never tried to stop me. There were one or two times in my teen years where she drew the line and said 'no,' and looking back on it, it was for the best and I am grateful for it. My mother and father have beautiful, classic, timeless taste. As I got older, I learned to adhere to a lot of those classic rules: white shoes belong on brides and babies, your shoes should be darker than your legs, look at yourself before you leave in your outfit and take off one accessory, and it never hurts to look your best. No, they did not invent those rules, but they are great rules to live by.

The Human Ark
I am a Jewish woman by definition of my religion, a Science Teacher & Animal Cruelty Investigator by trade and a Wildlife Photographer by experience. In trying to navigate the world of politics, health crisis and the new "Cancel Culture" it occurred to me that all of this will one day be a part of history and what a sizable book that will be. Things like who is writing it, will it be complete, will it be censored were all things that were brought to mind. Will it include the Evolution of Man or Creationism, will a Holocaust section give way to a Black Lives Matter section? As I started to think of all that information and how it would be condensed, I developed a headache so I started to catalog my photographs instead.

six artists who utilize the body as a form of expression
Helena Almeida was a Portuguese artist who said about her art: “My work is my body, my body is my work.” Utilizing a variety of mediums, including photography, drawing, and mixed media, Almeida’s work possesses a haunting quality; Tela Habitada, or Inhabited Painting, shown above, point to the painting as a location for the self — one which the body can enter, reside in, leave marks upon, and retreat from. Instead of acting upon the painting, the artists acts within it, transforming the work and the self simultaneously such that they merge into one entity.

In The Pockets Of the City
One of my favorite hobbies is, perhaps, a wee bit dangerous at times. On any given day (if it is not raining), I am probably wandering around Minneapolis looking for oddities to photograph. I am somewhat hampered by the fact that I do not have a car, but the Metro City Transit system helps out quite a lot, barring the occasional hiccup of getting lost. Scratch that. By now I am used to getting lost; I have learned to simply cross the street and catch a bus returning in the same direction I have just come from.

"THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE" - A Photo Series. Top Story - March 2021.
It seems like some people like being IN a relationship more than they like the PERSON they are in the relationship with. I've thought about this idea lot. In watching friends and acquaintances come in and out of relationships. In analyzing relationships of my own. Something about that idea scares me. I want to whole-heartedly love the person I'm with--for who they are, not just what they do. I want to love them complexly, deeply, and authentically. I want to love them even more than I love holding hands or kissing goodnight.

Development
I think social media knows what I want for my birthday better than my most of my loved ones, and I can't tell you if that's sad really, if anything at least it's convenient. Instead of scatter shot I tend to get a rather refined stream of ads interrupting my day, the lesser evil in a sense. Regardless, that's where I came across it. Lomography Metropolis 35mm, a perfect intersection of nerdy interest promising the look of the 1927 German, sci-fi film for which it was named and the inconvenient appeal of analogue photography. Less a want and more a need for your average pretentious student type, I think to myself justifying it as a course related purchase. I excuse away any thoughts to the contrary likely getting involved in a twitter debate that I had little stake in and any thoughts of reckless spending or any purchase were moved to the back of my mind alongside a distant deadline, only to be remembered when prompted externally.

mercy, a film journal for the tender heart and mind.
So does the second time feel different? Definitely, that’s when it got real. the first time, I was like oh we bout’ to do this. She just kind of morphed into what I wanted life to be at the time. Cherish on the other hand, has shown me that I really have to create life around her. She’s like, “you not about to just get up and do what you wanna do, without really considering me.” With her I definitely had to slow down a little bit more than I wanted to, and really sit with the reality that she’s a baby and she has needs.

Follow Your Dream
The old school at the end of the cul-de-sac had stood empty for some time. No little feet ran through the gym, no laughter echoed in the classrooms, no smell of mildewing lunches in cubbies permeated the halls. It had been years since Bellshore Public had been a working elementary school. Now the vines grew across the outside of the old brick and cinder block walls. The windows were mostly all painted shut, and the doorways were covered with plywood, and some were chained with heavy iron locks. In the playground, the old play structures had weeds and shrubs growing around them, and were rusting from lack of care. Some of the walls had been tagged by local graffiti artists, and the concrete around the rest of the yard had heaved and buckled with time and the shifting earth underneath. The school was one of those buildings that had seemed to just always be there. The neighbors couldn’t remember a time before it was built, and now that it had withered with disuse, the community mainly pretended it wasn’t there -- an eyesore, but mostly an invisible one. Except for the urban explorers. They loved the school and all the antiquated items found inside. It made a perfect subject for their photography. They had found secret ways of getting inside, and once inside they skulked about snapping shots of torn basketball nets, piles of desks, mountains of old rotting textbooks, broken cubby hooks and just about anything else they could find that looked like “urbex art”. Seth Collins was one of these young urban explorers. Just shy of 22, and still living at home with his parents, he had taken a gap year to figure out what he wanted to do with his life, and while working shifts at a local photography shop, he discovered that what he loved was capturing a beautiful and original photograph.

Hartford Has "It"!
1: Where are you from? It was not until I left home, that I realized what “home” truly meant to me as a Black American. As an undergraduate student, in the summer of 2018, I studied abroad in Ecuador. While there a handful of students and I participated in a social entrepreneurship program that aimed to help local indigenous communities establish and launch international business ventures for community development, social good, and general self-efficacy.

It is a place of magic, my hometown. It’s like a photo album, filled with all of my memories that made a difference in my life. It all happened here. It is a place of magic, my hometown. It’s like a photo album, filled with all of my memories that made a difference in my life. It all happened here.
