I took these pictures, but it’s the lucky mistakes that make them so special.⁣⁣⠀
Doug developed and scanned them, he said the chemicals were too hot, and honestly, I’m grateful they were because I love how they turned out 😊⁣⁣⠀
I’ve had these for a while, but today feels like the perfect day to post them.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Some are from my first @chingonaswithcameras meetup, and some are of beloved friends 💛⁣⁣⠀

I had the gorgeous opportunity to shoot with @explorateur a week ago and I can't wait to share more and see more of the exposures

I love to work with photographers but Val specifically. On many occasions we have been able to collaborate, share creative direction, and bring imaginative visions to life ✨ Always such a special opportunity to stand in front of her patient thoughtful and intuitive lens :)

About the photos:
I have been gigging around with all my gear fitting in this vintage suitcase I got from the Dearborn Goodwill, and the idea of this visitor coming in the form of an orb has been rattling around in my mind... Are we visiting the orb or is the orb visiting us? Are we traveling to some other dimension of consciousness or are we arriving to the current one we know with more presence and truly knowing it deeper, from another side, seeing what has been hidden from us?
