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.

Slice of life is one of the best genres to do. I mean, there are people who have no idea just how interesting this genre is. In my opinion, what makes it interesting is the fact that we can almost all relate to it. We are able to feel for the characters and we make great realizations thanks to it. I hope that we can work to make ourselves a bit better. It does not matter how we do it, we just have to.
