I began about a year ago taking pictures of mushrooms at the Calvert Road Disc Golf Park in College Park, MD. It reignited my love for photography (even though I am just a pleb who is using a phone haha). I started to take pictures of anything that just struck me as odd, interesting, or beautiful. I was then struck one night by the beauty of "regular, everyday" moments that I experience in my house, as, I think, we all do. I have found my first two years here in Maryland to be very difficult, especially since I have started school last semester. As I have struggled to find new friends (though not anymore!) and new haunts, I have taken particular solace in these little moments at home. An everyday practice for me is being aware and intentional, and I am finding more of these moments as I continue my practice of awareness and intention. These are some of the pictures I have taken and they are not edited in anyway (I need to work on the exposure when I am outside, have a hard time seeing the screen...). I am hoping that over the next 3.5 years the changes in my comfort here, and perhaps some change of view, are chronicled in this photo documentary.
