KC, in her Brooklyn apartment ten years ago. We met in Dallas a few years before this while I was touring as a model - she is a photographer, an amazing one. Then met up in NYC a number of times, our paths then separated for years 11 years ago I was getting to know Nerlande and so many others in NYC, 10 years ago I was shooting models on film and printing in the darkroom like crazy, 7 years ago I was in Iceland with Rick (😔), 5 years ago I was nursing my messed up foot from the dinghy accident while stuck in bed but working on learning how to turn sailor skills into art, 4 years ago I was in San Diego trying to crew on a boat going to Hawaii (that didn’t work out, dude was not cool but how different my life would be right now if it had?), and 3 years ago I was just starting to get to know my (now Melanie’s) puppy Athena. Now I am living in Marathon working on my boat in quarantine. What a strange world. and now we both live on our sailboats.

We hadn’t seen the ocean in at least 10 years. @amelodysample https://www.instagram.com/p/B_zgsDNBpCe/?igshid=1gnykwvfm25rf

A photo I took of Shakti, DC, 2010. On 120 film. @spindl while I cannot afford nor have the space to keep up with film (though I do have a few rolls of b&w and a couple 35mm cameras onboard including an underwater slr!) I very much look forward to shooting again, and finally have two women here who are willing to collaborate with me. #film #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #portrait #photography https://www.instagram.com/p/B_zeDkGB6EG/?igshid=o4cj4kdhv7jr

Time to part with this guy. Every time I let go of one of my film cameras hurts my heart. I used to shoot with these cameras all the time. This is a Polaroid 250 with a portrait kit. It’s been kept in a pelican case and while it’s own case is rough, the camera and kit are in great shape. $60 + $10 shipping in US. Hopefully someone else can love on this cool camera better than I am able to anymore. Message me if you’re interested. ♥️ #filmphotography #filmcamera #polaroid #polaroidcamera #landcamera #camera #vintage #vintagecamera https://www.instagram.com/p/B_xQBOih0V8/?igshid=9vz6cikky0va

I started this book this morning. I can’t remember the last time I spent all day reading. There’s a sequel so I know I’ll be bummed when it ends but I’m gonna see if I can finish it in one day. Brain candy, as my aunt Laurie says. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_vKOETBN5I/?igshid=40m09g2hcnqt

Made these three coconut pieces yesterday (was up until almost 4). Each one takes me about 3-4 hours overall, though these where cut out and started on another day. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9eXVRzBr0t/?igshid=12uxnmq88eby8

One of my halyards periodically bangs pretty good on the mast, I’ll figure that out later today when it warms up. This wind will last until Tuesday. Yesterday I got food, beer and ice to last me till then as I can’t paddle my kayak against this. I don’t mind being stuck on the boat. #liveaboard #sail #sailing https://www.instagram.com/p/B9bmb1fhL59/?igshid=15bseq8ucz15e
