falling down the rabbit hole

Falling down the rabbit hole. A small meditation on the fleeting beauty of life. Slow & fast. Chaos & calm.

Falling down the rabbit hole. A small meditation on the fleeting beauty of life. Slow & fast. Chaos & calm.

Working on video & more for a big project coming 2024. So excited & terrified & excited…

If you are falling… dive. We’re in a free fall into the future. We don’t know where we’re going. Things are changing so fast, and always when you’re going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is turn your fall into a voluntary act. It’s a very interesting shift of perspective and that’s all it is …joyful participation in the sorrows …and everything changes.

-- Joseph Campbell

it does not suck

In January 2023, Fred & I quit our jobs!!! We picked up our new little camper & traveled for 2+ months. Pure. Heaven. This photo shows our new camper on the rim of the Colorado River in Glen Canyon (near Page, AZ). We are home now just south of Raleigh, NC but hope to travel full time one day, maybe in the camper, & maybe airbnb’ing overseas…

I am excited to have time & space to work on my art. Stay tuned for new work! I have had more art ideas in the last 4 weeks than I had in the last 4 years :)

explore your creativity with iphone videos

So excited! I will be presenting at Cary Photographic Artists (Cary, NC) on July 24, 2019 on making iphone videos!

Exploring Your Creativity with iPhone Videography

Learn how to make fun videos on your phone!

Give your creativity a boost with tools you probably already have in your pocket — your phone! Leave your DSLR, Photoshop, and expectations at home and embrace the freedom of creating art on your phone.

There are thousands of photo and video apps available for the iPhone. Tricia has tried many of them and will share her favorites. It’s easy to get started, but, be warned, can be addictive.

This presentation is about more than just applying a filter with an app. It’s about keeping your art fresh with new tools, and tips for creating more cinematic and exciting video with your phone.

mixtape spring 2019

Mixtape of some of my recent video work. Putting it together felt like an exercise in stream of consciousness. I kept picking up bits of video from here and there in my project files. I found common themes in my disparate videos—natural and geometric forms, juxtaposition of organic and man-made devices, and my love of the dream state.

bangkok

Just back from Bangkok— hot, crazy, wonderful, frenetic, and did I mention hot? Bangkok was quite the experience— an amazing mix of old and new, friendly people, Chinatown, midnight flower markets, floating markets, temples and monks, street food vendors everywhere. Multiple exposure seems fitting for Bangkok and its beautiful chaos.

dracula’s castle, budapest

Vajdahunyad Castle, Budapest. Reported to be Bram Stoker's inspiration for Dracula's castle.

It was our last night in Budapest. The bus for Prague was leaving very early the next morning. I went back to the hotel to pack. Fred took his camera out for a few last shots. I got a text from him a bit later that it was snowing so I grabbed my camera and ran out to meet him. Sleep is overrated. This stunning place was just a few blocks from our hotel. Pure magic.
