Wrapping up the Rugged Tour & back to our regularly scheduled programming

Wow. I made it! What an incredible experience. My feet have not yet touched back down to ground, but am excited to share more slices of this experience with you. It was one of the most difficult and rewarding few days I have encountered in a very long time. I worked with some of the most talented creatives I have ever met. More to come. For now…. a massage and some deep rest.

I made it to California!!!

I did it! I made it! By the peach fuzz of my rear end.

It feels SO FUCKING GOOD to be out here in the middle of nowhere doing my thing. The muscle tension seems to just melt and slide off my body. It’s unreal the transition I feel within my bones as the sun licks my face and chest and breeze caresses my back. It’s almost immediate.

I have one full day of buns in the sun out here before my tour starts tomorrow! I am so grateful for the push that allowed me this intermediate re...

Day 4 cross country movin!

Howdy :) I’m 3.5 days into my cross country migration! VA to CA. I’m getting more excited the more miles I put down.

I only have a couple selfies to share for now. I’m absolutely exhausted. Can you see it in my face? Big drives are one of the hardest things for my hypermobile spine so it’s been a big push. I have 6 slipped discs which means my muscles spasm almost constantly and the sitting and driving for long periods doesn’t help. I have a system and don’t let it detract ...

Precipice + Uncommon Re-Ground

I shared these to Lumbar+ when I took them last winter in Boulder CO, but figured I would reshare after posting on IG.

I have also re-edited Common Unground for a moodier pop that better captures how I was feeling that evening. I’m looking forward to getting into more astrophotograohy and combining it with my nude self portraiture and lust for outdoor meditative states. Oh and sorry to anyone who appreciated Uranus.

In two days I hit the road from VA to CA for the Venus de Tier...

Uncommon Ground

Shot on a bad body day out in the bog. Spent all day trying to find comfort in this vessel in vain. The last resort is to make some art about it. It fed my soul a little. There were so many glow bugs. I tried capturing them in some other photos I took.

Can you tell how I created this image?

My muscle tension will not let up until I’ve settled in on the road and found my PT routine again. Spasms take over my legs, back, and neck. The nights are the worst. The days are smooshing...

Fluid

Shot in the boggy forests in VA two days ago. I wake from my hibernation and leave in two weeks. I am uprooting so much through this latest transition and I'm exhausted but feeling the excitement of upcoming adventure creep into my bones. I have so much to do and am taking my time to supplement my last bits of sanity with little outdoor excursions whenever I can... until the big one. These medicinal endeavors get me out of my head and bring me home... home back into my own body. It so importa...

Get a Hold of Myself

Self shot in some lady’s unfinished basement while house sitting last winter in Colorado. Thank you lady. I’m sorry if you had secret cameras. Maybe that’s on you.

One of these I have shared before to lower tiers.

Harbor Street

Went for a night walk two days ago. Brought my camera. Brought my new 85mm lens. Broke into a vacant lot. Got naked. There are balconies all around me but I had had a couple drinks and had no fucks to give. Zane took this and I edited it. It was super dark and I didn’t expect these to turn out. I’m so impressed with the performance of this ginantic sensor.

More soon for Thoracic, Cervical & my one precious Enlightenment patron.

Keep In Touch with What Surrounds You

I am excited to announce that I got this self portrait (along with others) published in a premier international fine art nude print magazine published out of Berlin. https://www.lenudemagazine.com

I have no team. I am the model, photographer, marketer and administrator of my own work. This creative process of self expression and empowerment is a soul mission that saved my life in 2018 and continues to do so over and ...

Fog in the Bog (Prana goes camping) + updates

A few things had to get switched around this month. I was grumpy for a good several days but have come to terms with the realities of the situations and am feeling much less grump ;)

August was going to be a busy month. I was excited to embark. I was never able to drone on day after day until they all flow together into a homogenous soup. Even before my joint problems, I would work 12+ hour long catering shifts for weeks just to go fly somewhere and lay on a beach for a month. I love th...

Bog Fog & Despondence

Wow, yesterday I finally shot outside using my full frame camera that I got for myself back in May. If that’s any indication of how exhausted I’ve been during my time off the road in Virginia these past 3 months.

I’m looking forward to being back out in my van, this time indefinitely, but it’s also exhausting to constantly be out in the elements while managing my chronic pain. I got super sick with some digestive issues when I finally landed here earlier this Summer, and it may...
