Writer + Photographer
Thrifter Extraordinaire

Tender-hearted + good with words—
always in a hurry with a tendency to linger.

Clinically poor vision, 
& thirty-four years
of tangled hair. 

Obsessions:
tiny details, secretive light.

A remarkable color sensitivity
+ eyes that actually glow in the dark:
the extraordinary side-effects
of too-pale retinas—
Ocular Albinism.

20/20 seers will always notice things that I do not— 
I perceive the world in an uncommon way.

Sometimes what I see is real (myriad lucky guesses),
often I must find a way to make up the difference.

The flash of my mind,
the snap of my camera,
that's how I cope.

In my world, everyone can see.
