👋🏾 When life happens, unexpected breaks from curating and writing newsletters also happen. Thank you for sticking around through this brief moment of silence.

Ever see a houseplant and lighting so dramatic it whisks a camera into your hands? I do. 

It’s a compulsion I don’t mind losing myself to. Even if I look like Gollum as I assume the photographers’ squat. 

This plant in particular doesn’t occupy a special place in my heart. It’s not my precious. It’s just a monstera that’s hanging out in my house living its best life. 

I have a growing archive of photos tagged with “plants lit dramatically” because I like them.

I like how the images turn out.
I like seeing things others may not see. 

If you can’t do things you like to do, what’s even the point?

Reply with your own photo. I’d love to see it. There are just 3 rules: one image, no overthinking, bonus points for mediocre lighting.

P.S. I sell prints of my Probably Nothings. If you see something in the newsletter not for sale, let me know.

🪟 Probably Nothing is an every-so-often photo log where each issue features one small moment that was… well, probably nothing. Think morning light on a coffee maker, or the way a cloud decides to be dramatic on an otherwise unremarkable day.
