It’s Submission Season
I’ve decided. In a recent post I talked about the holidays being really hard due to the intersection of colder and shorter days and historically traveling somewhere tropical before my body got all fucked. So I try to do cool stuff to stave off the sads.This year is especially hard as I’m van based and didn’t get to leave the state in time for somewhere warmer.Submitting my work as much as I can to cultivate some energy and feel good about my art.These two got accepted to a print publication that will go out next month!Hopefully I can keep...
Bracing (IG for Lumbar)
Sorry I’m late! I posted the full set for Thoracic and forgot to post the mini set for Lumbar tier. Feeling more B&W lately. Also loved this punchy contrast. Also practiced some vulnerability by telling the story of breaking my lens on IG 💀https://instagram.com/p/CXby_VLOgeb/
Keep In Touch With Yourself
It’s easier to jump from one distraction to the next. Humans are addicted to distracting themselves from personal introspection. Through constant socializing and media, you could go an entire lifetime without really looking at yourself. But what happens when the power and internet are down and you’re all alone with nothing but your thoughts? Is it comfortable?I often use editing as a way to dissociate and avoid thinking through anxious thoughts and feelings. It works, but often times hours go by and when I’m not checking in with my though...
Madness
What I edited in the hot tub today after warming up from my frozen TV dinner state this morning... cuz the heater is still broken in my van. Dreaming of some desert warmth right now! On my way there as soon as I can.
Red & Rope (IG for Lumbar patrons)
Full sets including the ties, suspension, and “aftercare” aka frolicking in the river has been posted for Thoracic+ a few months back. Happy to link in the post if that helps ;) Thanks for being here!xx Prana

Hi all! I forgot to make this post available to you when I posted it a couple months back. Whoops! Here it is now :)
December!
Hi all! Last push through 2021 for us.I wanted to do a bigger post today, but am “in the red” with a pain flare instead. SO here is: some dry needling with TENS unit me in the gym doing a stretchie for my t-spine and hips me wearing what has definitely turned out to be a child’s mask for the past month (still in mask mandate over here) more dry needling which really fucking helps my muscle spasms! Makes for happy Prana.Hopefully back at it in a day or two.
Lens Test + Prana Saga (video for all patrons)
https://www.patreon.com/posts/58938594Hi all, as promised here is a 20 minute video decompressing from my lens fiasco from the other night. Happy to talk more about myself and my art and my journey as I get more comfortable talking to the camera. I had kind of already done most of the testing so I figured we were good to go. You can’t see it in the video but there are some minor lens aberrations that I might have to get repaired. Other than that really happy she’s still alive as it’s my favorite lens and really the only one I shoot with.N...
Lazy Acres (support club sample set)
Man I was avoidant about getting this post out for two days now! I’ve posted a couple other things right before this cuz those were less heavy ;) Just returned from staying at a cabin in the mountains for a week. I was house sitting for someone I knew. It was much needed anda really rejuvinating “reset.” Right before I went,I got some weird news about my health and totally fell of the deep end where I previously had been edging towards anyways. So I kind just set myself up in a whirlwind of shooting and crying and editing and thinking and...
St. Vrain (sneaky peek)
Met up with an old friend I used to shoot and make art with back in 2018 when I was just realizing how much I could heal and remind myself to play with the aid of photography. The thing that saved my life. John is one of the first people I ever posed next to in front of my own lens. So rad.I’ll go through this set over the next few days and share along with what we shot before for Thoracic ❤
Flatiron Fog // Suffer Sufficient! (Uncensored from IG for Lumbar tier)
Plus a couple bonus landscapes and portraits. You can see the original photo to which I added myself levitating.Thoracic tier got the full set of 28 photos and Cervical tier got some BTS footage where I showed off my post-shoot high, drove down the foggy mountain naked in my van, and also showed off how much I sometimes struggle with my tripod....xx Prana
I Remember Touch
More of these to come as soon as my little inflamed wrists can write about them.Happy Monday // pre holidaze! The worst part of the year, due to stress and loneliness and pressure to buy things. For me it’s the short days. SO I tend to try to do a lot of cool projects round this time to stave off the sads. It used to be buying plane tickets to warm places, but nowadays it’s like suspending myself naked from trees in the snow between warm showers. Whatever works 🤘🏽
Mill Duos (IG for Lumbar)
Instagram set with Georgina Berbari @fromthemoonseyes that we shot together a couple of weeks ago.full sets for Thoracic and video for Cervical!
On My Way!
Took these in West Virginia last fall, composited them, then forgot all about it :)for Support Club tier and up. Thanks for being here.

Hi! I got excited about this day that I posted about here:https://www.patreon.com/posts/58035126and edited a couple more pics that I put on instagram along with my little write up that I had already shared with you.https://www.instagram.com/p/CWEwd3KgKrB/?utm_medium=copy_linkI wanted to post these for you yesterday but the site was down ;)Also, the first pic is a composite that I made out of the last two. Cuz why not. I also removed the stimulating graffiti.... don’t worry I only did this all when I should’ve have been resting or responding...
