I am awkwardly writing this first post. I guess it has to happen. The inevitable first introduction that no one is reading. hopefully.
Anyways,
Me in a nutshell:
I own a photography company. By own I mostly mean starting. Owning is easy. I studied photography at University of Oregon and my passion is working in the darkroom with large format negatives. Now, I am without darkroom.
I craft. A lot. This includes cooking. Tonight I made 60 jars of jam. Yes, sixty. Jamming is a particularly crafty sort of cooking, don't you agree? I forced my boyfriend to pick 19 pounds of raspberries and 14.5 pounds of blueberries yesterday. He was not pleased.
I live in a barn. Yes a barn. It's 3 stories and red. I live there with my boyfriend. We are in the market for a stove so we can start eating hot food. Our tiny refrigerator is full of film. We live there with two barn cats. They hide behind vintage suitcases and hiss. I have started collecting silver buckets to decorate with because they look so at home there. My life is particularly glamorous at the moment.
I just got back from living in rural Ecuador for 1.5 years. I taught English in the small town of Guaranda. Now I am happily unemployed and making jam. Oh, and that photography company I 'own'. I am trying to live out all the dreams I had in ecuador of cooking, gardening, exercising, and enjoying Oregon.
