What a blessing to grow up near a national park. Of course, there's beauty everywhere, but there's such an ethereal energy in the @cuyahogavalleynps forests

When I’d first gotten to @borderlightcle, I didn’t know what to expect. Fringe theater leaves so much to the imagination, which means uncertain photography. I’m glad I got to sit in during practice before the showing of Le Tournesol. The creators behind the show, @nujoaix, @louise_comte, and @nadiyaatkinson, all gave some much energy during the performance. It was hard to capture it all. 

Thanks to Le Tournesol, my expectations for Borderlight were set. Quality, passion, and dedication to the heart beating behind theater that more people in the world need to feel. Thank you to everyone involved with keeping the event alive! by @ashenarbor

Sheel Sheel was an incredibly personal show, the last I had shot @borderlightcle. If you hadn’t crowded around the small theater at the front of the room, you missed a layer of closeness with the performer @anima.artemis The audience extended back several rows, with each working harder to see the manual montage of stills taken from the Palestinian genocide. I was on the outskirts, taking what shots I could. Here are my favorite. by @ashenarbor

I was lucky enough to be brought in as a photographer for @borderlightcle while in town to capture a few shows. The first, New, But Familiar, was a surprise. A description really can't do the show justice, so I would rather everyone check out the creator Lindsey Ball instead @hugh__manatee 

This is the first time I broke while shooting. Seeing and hearing audience members tearing up beside me, and the subject of pride at hand, pulled some tears to my eyes. I'm a bit ashamed by the shots I got and frustrated at instagram for forcing them all to crop to the same size. Wish I could have done this show better by @ashenarbor

I've always appreciated home interiors. Every empty space is a culmination of decisions to build and a puzzle to fill. 

When they're finished, it then becomes a game of capturing the personality of something inanimate. Unfortunately, these model homes are all given the sane beat of mayonnaise. But, they make for great practice. 

Thank you to @schumacher_homes for letting me do this without needing to talk to anyone

'Three Roads' 3/3

But, a fire clogged your throat. So I lit a pot of chamomile.
A tiny kindness too rare. You invited me out. Pity, attraction,
It’s still a mystery. We met by the door in midnight robes.
It was locked from inside. The deadbolt was heavier than
A collapsing star. I turned it to make you proud. You were 
Freedom found in a hug. We looked forward and left together.

Stepping outside the mirror frame into a dark hollow,
We fell like waterfalls and split with the distance. 
There, in your misty dissolve, I found a new prism.
A width within to refract me back to one.

Now a proud spectrum shining,
We travel parallel, my partner.

'Three Roads' 2/3

My shades were a fan. They glowed like evening honey. 
I was blown to her amber beacon. It bled from her needles,
My first dose of inversion, in the stagnant air of her place.
I invited her to mine and she took nest in my mirror.
Head split down the middle, both directions wrong. 
She’d weep, then point her nasal pitch her ways.

Getting flipped dizzy, I stopped myself at the door. Behind it
Was the end of all things. She reflected me into her room, 
Herself into my world. Mimic thief. I was lost
 in her labyrinth, Found by a phantom. Your song had wandered to me.

'Three Roads' 1/3

In that basement where we argued about preference, 
Semantics ran between us like an ocean trench - abyssal.
We told him to let go. His grip contorted the night.
I dropped everything to escape their eyes like high beams. 
Grudges infested his lips. The fruit rotted the tree. 
My love, his debate. So we buried it in our backs.

When I found the prism that split my light in seven, 
He still saw me as one. Single shade, simple reduction.
His colors passed through our pixels: synonyms of mud.
My friend, dry-blood brother, fast faded.

Three years ago, I wrote a story about the backrooms (link to the story in bio). Instead of focusing on monsters and chase scenes, I focused on the one true entity of the series: the Backrooms itself. 

Hopefully, with the A24 movie releasing later this month, we'll see a renaissance in one of the the coolest collaborative efforts on the internet. 

In the meantime, please enjoy my take on the topic!

I can’t make you see
You won’t take your leave
Puzzle lost a piece
Never what I need

So I’m gone

Rising to your knees
Dancing in the leaves
I see what’s underneath
The passing of my keys

So I’m gone

Everybody needs
Love who truly sees
Forests for the trees
Planting healthy seeds

So I’m gone
I’m gone
