Instagram post 2314207224559633006_351597444 I've been keeping a list of all the things I've accomplished since mid-March.  This isn't meant to shame anyone who hasn't been in accomplishment mode, just to share what brings me comfort and a feeling of control.  I've not had much extra time on my hands, so most of my accomplishments are pretty insignificant (testing a handful of homemade rice milk variations until I found my perfect homemade alternative to the expensive store bought variety, for example), but still things I feel good about. This photo is one of them.  I've never created a photo with the stars out of focus, and have been thinking of trying it out since last year. I took this photo just before stay-at-home recommendations and didn't feel that happy about it when I first saw it on my computer screen. Then, a few days ago, I read a quote that drew me back to it: "These skies have looked down on us over times of war, famine and desperation, but they've also seen humans celebrate the longest peacetime Europe has ever known; inspired music, poetry and art and filled our hearts and soul with wonder, awe and magic. To look to the stars is to know we are not alone; to see the International Space Station is a celebration of human ingenuity; every orbit proof of human cooperation across our constructed borders. To look to the stars is to know we have a past, but we also have a future." Dani Robertson

Instagram post 2302664595204288732_351597444 At some point it became spring and damn near summer and it simultaneously took forever and snuck up on us.  Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that I was driving to work and the trees were still bare?  Just a few weeks ago that the daffoldils were the only sign of spring? Just last week that there was still a chill in the air (well, yes)? Now we're all thinking of Memorial Day and the start of summer and what that will look like this year. . This photo doesn't fall in the normal night photo category that I usually like to promote, but it felt right to me today because it felt like a home that I'm not isolating within, and thus am not yet sick of, but is still warm and cozy and familiar. And if the world doesn't have to be normal neither does my social media feed. So that's that.
Instagram post 2291651271897497479_351597444 Hey, I'm Erica. I don't post many photos with people in them, especially not myself, but I'm taking staying at home very seriously and had to find some way to keep working on my personal photography projects. I waited for the right conditions for this photo for about a week. Since we're staying home, more often than not my hair is a mess, so I touched up my waves with a curling iron, but only did the half of my head that would be toward camera. No sense wasting time doing all of it. 😝 Other than that I've been playing video games and binge watching TV shows, walking around the neighborhood looking for ducklings and making lots of desserts.
Instagram post 2283057978959888222_351597444 This is horribly out of season. I'm officially done with cold weather and ready for more days like today - warm and sunny. Quite frankly, I don't want to see a snowy picture right now. I know I'm not alone in that. I couldn't wait until next winter to share this one though. . #starsshiningbrightaboveyou #longexpohunter #nightadventures #milkywaygalaxy #stargazing
Instagram post 2270767365942054426_351597444 Today I heard about this book for the first time, Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name by Vendela Vida. I haven't read it, so I don't know if I recommend it or not, but that title caught me. My version of that is Let the Darkest Skies Erase Your Name. Erasing your name, letting go of a bit of yourself as an individual and setting your focus to the greater whole. I think a lot of us are doing more of that now than we were a few weeks ago. I hope you all are finding exactly what you need to get through the changing times.
Instagram post 2260642049823274902_351597444 I love daylight savings time. Nothing makes me feel more like summer than a late evening sunset. I just returned from a trip closer to the equator where the sun sets around 6pm all year. It felt like summer with the warmth but winter with the darkness falling so early. I hope you're all enjoying the darker mornings and brighter nights.
Instagram post 2249038296296863011_351597444 A few days ago I got a fortune cookie that said "If we are to have magical bodies, we must have magical minds." It's one of my favorites that I've seen, and I've seen a lot.  I worked in a Chinese restaurant for 7 years and I would read the fortunes left behind when clearing tables.  Combine that with my own cravings for Chinese food and, yes, there have been many fortune cookies in my life. . I think a lot about magic in my photos.  The whole process has a bit of a magical element, revealing things that aren't visible to the naked eye.  My photos also tend to elicit the same response that magic does: suspicion and curiousity.  People often don't think the starry sky is "real", resulting in me blabbing away rather unconvincingly about cameras capturing more light than the human eye. . In the past 6 days, I've only had one migraine-free day.  I try to see the migraines as magic too.  I think about how they come with the weather, and how maybe, in the days before weather forecasts and meteorologists, my pain could have been useful and revered.  In present day, it's a fairly useless form of magic that I would gladly relinquish if given the opportunity.
