I had a friend once call me the “Queen of the stream of Consciousness” back in the days of LiveJournal. Growing up alongside the internet digital remnants of myself are scattered across screens, not all of which I’ve been able to track down. In an effort to keep some thoughts my own I added a personal blog to my website. So I can write when I feel called to without being tied to a specific project.
Over a 7 year span I blogged exclusively on Tumblr under the name “Kiss My Flash”. While much of the photography work has been relocated pieces that I wrote are captured in an archive below.
Puppies on Parade
Each day seems more uncertain than the last. Forced into the microcosm of our homes the opening of a tulip seems the grandest of events. Laundry has presented itself as a contemplative task. And the puppies march in a parade with an audience of one.

Kiss My Flash
Like so many others for years I hosted a blog on Tumblr called Kiss My Flash. I documented my life as a photographer, my pop culture ramblings, and life in general. Not wanting to lose memories and pieces of myself from seven years I have transferred them to my own site. Below are some excerpts and links to the full archive.
