Everyone is always telling you that life is short. And that usually rings true. But a mentor used to tell me that rather, life is long. I’ve always appreciated that, even if tentatively. This isn’t to say that a long life is guaranteed or that life is long for everyone. But perhaps another way of saying, trust the process; that there are many lifetimes, many chapters within a life. That each of our projects and creative pursuits have their own time. That it’s ok to slow down and let things unfold. And that also rings true. Tiny screens are not the place where medium format photos shine, of course, but I found this picture I took with my M7 on a little trip with @stephaniebroad what feels like lifetimes ago, and smiled at what I now see as a little moment of foreshadowing. . . . #m7 #mamiya #mamiya7 #mediumformat #mediumformatphotography #filmphotography #garden #gardening #backyard #backyardgarden #localfood #farmersmarket #tomatoes #garlic #compost #plants #tradescantia #musings #lifeislong #lifeisshort

“...place, which is always spoken of as though it only counts when you're present, possesses you in its absence, takes on another life as a sense of place, a summoning in the imagination with all the atmospheric effect and association of a powerful emotion. The places inside matter as much as the ones outside." - Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost . . . #zinnia #urbanfarm #urbangarden #flowergarden #astoria #lic #longislandcity #nyc #rebeccasolnit #fieldguide #fieldguidetogettinglost
