open a window
This plastic bin of packed up schoolwork was sitting by the window, with my cheer lei and Freestyle stole laying on top. It was a melancholy image. My high school experience, ready to be moved into storage. But through the camera lens, I saw something different. The trees and blue sky outside reflected on the […]
This is my mom. She is the coolest person I have ever met. She is being framed by a door. My mom’s office is right through the kitchen. A mom of four, she never gets a break. She is always right in the center of all the activity in the house. When the door is […]
My friend Chloe asked me in the car the other day: Wait, Bryn, when did you become the film girl? Chloe and I have been friends for over 10 years now. She knew me when I wanted to become an author and when I wanted to become a dancer and when I had no idea […]
My mom has had a cooking blog (chinesegrandma.com go check it out!) since I was little, so I grew up watching her take pictures of all the food she made and the process of making it. It’s pretty great having a mom who works on developing recipes. Although, the famous story in our house is […]
I made this book sculpture in middle school, and to date, it is one of the art projects I have had the most fun making. It is so random and useless and cute and I love it. Miniature things are so awesome. They serve absolutely no purpose but to make me feel all warm and […]
I guess light isn’t that modern, but it is certainly convenient. I honestly just really enjoy light fixtures, and from below, this one looks like the clock window in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. There have been many late nights these past few months, and I am very appreciative of artificial light for making them […]
School shootings continue to pop up in the news. It is heartbreaking. I don’t really know how to understand how tragedies like this can happen, especially when they are so preventable. The statistics on shootings in the US versus other countries tell us everything we need to know. That these deaths are preventable. My little […]
My dad’s friend Peter is awesome. He is an entrepreneur and magician and 3D printer enthusiast. He made this 3D printed version of himself and gave it to my dad for his birthday. The level of detail is crazy; it always looks like there is a little elf or borrower sitting on our bookshelves. In […]
These are my two brothers. Is it mean to call them sloths? I don’t know. But they were arranged perfectly for this picture and prompt. Devices make it easier than ever to be sloth-like. I worry about it, especially for younger kids who are growing up in a world where the digital space is integrated […]
This is definitely the most straightforward picture I could have taken for this prompt. Oops. I listen to this soundtrack every morning. On the day I took this picture, I was driving in Foothills park, and the sun set, turning the sky a wonderful pale pink. Surrounded by the hills and palm trees and wispy […]
