Another #selfportrait ; trying to figure out lighting while holding the CameraConnect app between my legs.
Do I know what I'm doing? Nope. Will I die trying? Also no. But I am enjoying this process.
Oh did you notice the music? @orchid.orchestra is killing it - you should check out their music on Spotify!
#selfportrait number 2 on the same day as number 1. I only figured out one type of lighting 🤷🏻♀️
Thought I should look happy instead of brooding somewhere on my profile.
Updated scar photos? Yessiree! 18+ specialists, 2 surgeries, and going on 8 years of chronic nerve pain.
But it's not all bad - I physically am unable to work full-time at my job, so instead I am forced to pursue my passions and meet amazing friends.
All in all, I'm very grateful to have had this experience, and I would also be very grateful for it to end at some point 🙏🏻
(Note that I have spent the last 1.5 years hiding under baggy clothes, but we went to therapy and are switching things up a bit. It's summer!)
(Also note that it took 40+ shots to get these. I am still a flailing goat posing as someone who has body awareness.)

POV: When your noisy upstairs neighbour collapses your rational behaviour into childlike rebellion.
She will not get the best of me.
Maybe if enough people like this, it'll go viral and she'll notice it and change her ways so I can avoid confrontation.

No filters needed when @cstuyt takes your photo. When she invited me to test some lighting, I immediately leapt at the opportunity and into her car, screaming "go go go!"
Despite my behaviour, she's still my friend.
She's the best - you can see her photos at Tightrope Theatre, the Improv Centre, basically half of the Fringe festival... And you, too, can hire her!
(But don't scream in her car, she doesn't like that).
(Also this got cropped because of Instagram so it doesn't do the full photo justice)

Finally getting to bed only to remember that in 6 hours your upstairs neighbour will be using your ceiling as a contemporary movement studio.
Also check out the music from my friends' band @piki.r0se

Toying with colour gradients with a true pal, @thetaraming . Contrary to how serious she looks here, Tara has some incredible short-form video sketches about her brain on her account that I highly recommend. Thank you for letting me test some ideas with you!

An unplanned and unconventional tour of @theenchantedforestbc . It was a lifelong dream to go here after I saw the billboard three days ago.
Doris and Earnest Needham opened the Enchanted Forest in Revelstoke, BC, in 1960. They searched for 2 years to find the perfect location for Doris's over 300 sculptures. Now, over a million people have visited - and I was one of them! So was my friend @cstuyt who ran off before I could designate her as my Instagram boyfriend.
In reality I was trying to give an actual tour. But as I say at the end... I'm not a tour guide!
If you pass by, it was worth every penny.
