in our weekly photo blog, one of our challenges is to take photos that communicate a story.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I love the way black and white films play with light. I actually think I’ve talked about this in a different post before. But it’s just magical. How can black and white be even more dynamic than color? I don’t know. But it can.
The weather this year has been very weird. A cold spell in August, a hot spell in January, and now alternating days of sunny spring skies and chilly winter rain. The day I took this picture was one of the former. As I walked, bathed in bright yellow light, looking at the cornflower blue above, […]

Unable to rely on color, filmmakers and photographers from the black and white era turned to lighting to convey tone and mood. I watched the film Cleo From 5 to 7 this summer. I did not particularly […]
I saw this cute family at Foothills Park fishing on a Thursday night. One of the little boys caught a fish, and everyone rushed together to see and celebrate. I wish I could send them this photo. I have never gone fishing. I would like to.
And we’re back! Hi 🙂 It’s been a while. My sweet grandma has been living with us for the past year as she has gone through treatment for breast cancer. It has been the most incredible blessing to have her here with us. This is the third time I have lived in the same home […]
Freedom to me is swimming in the pool with my purple and green noodles and super cool goggles on when it’s nearly 80 degrees outside and sunny. Childhood. 🙁
