Pocket Of Light

Meet Jill Coleman- a documentary photographer from Zimbabwe who is currently roaming the streets of Chicago and capturing some of our finest. She calls herself "amateur" and I wonder what that makes me.- A child haphazardly holding a lensed device I think. I can only hope to be as amateur as her one day, with work so Honestly Beautiful.

See the light in everything; Put it in your pocket to share.

^ So Correctly Titled "Sweet Home Chicago"

^ I used to frequently see this woman on my way from Rogers Park to the Loop for school. She was prettymuch always juuust kiickin it as shown above.

^She has several photographs of this family in South Africa. I want to modify my genetics so as to produce an offspring that looks like the firecracker in flowers.

Her work can be found at:

Je Suis

I have a serious sense of humor. A calm mind packed to the brim. I am a homebody whose home is everywhere. I adore routine but cannot live within one. I Love deeply but never on a whim. I crave sunshine and relish in rain. I speak in logic and play in crystals. Flourish in nature and live in the city. Was born in a blizzard and hate the cold. I like to pay for things but not with money. Full of aspirations but list no concrete plans. I hold on tight and flee. I'm eternally loyal but cannot be contained. I'm a lazy workaholic. I wear mascara to yoga. I hike for the pictures. I hug for the heartbeat. I jump when I'm stuck. I love words but hear better when we're silent. Enjoy rightnow but can't wait for the future. I want to look in your eyes and photograph them. I want to get in your head and write it. I want to see your soul and touch it. I share everything and give nothing away. I am here and I'm everywhere else. A priceless Price. An American Australian. A Capricorn on the Cusp. A traveler with an open ticket. A series of contradictions in a 5'5'' frame.
