Hello Folded Poetry friends! I'm excited to share an experience I had last fall which was entirely new to me: I was the subject of a photojournalism project! |
|
Natalie, a photojournalism student at UNC reached out to me in late October asking if she could shadow me for a month. Her assignment was to capture the life of someone who represents transformation. |
|
Natalie chose me because after a car crash and a traumatic brain injury in 2018, I have reinvented my health and former career in architecture - I'm now a full-time sculptural artist (and a health freak!) |
|
If you're unfamiliar with my journey, I'd love to share my full story with you - click the button below to check it out. |

Natalie followed me all around town, capturing my life as an artist and entrepreneur. We spent time in my studio, maker spaces, at professional networking events, and on-site at the Luminary installation. She snapped photos of me a the gym, farmers market, and even playing in the yard with the dogs! (Being photographed while meditating was an new, interesting, and challenging experience! 😅) |
|
This email contains her top eleven curated photos out of hundreds captured; These are the photos she submitted for her final project! |
|
Thank you so much Natalie for a great experience, and some amazing photos! |

On an entirely different note, this past weekend Mikie and I traveled to Colorado with for a month of remote work and skiing / snowboarding! |
|
Yesterday was our first day on the mountain at Breckenridge, and it was a gorgeous day with clear skis and great conditions. |
|
It wasn't that long ago when I was uncertain whether skiing, a great love of mine, was something I'd ever be able to do again. I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity to celebrate my ever-improving health. |
|
I promise to share more about our trip next time! |
|
Until then - much love to you, |
|
