Hands-On Photography in Wilmington, DE: Join Our Community Darkroom | NCC Art Studio
Over the past year, I have had the privelegd to instruct at a community darkroom at the New Castle Co https://www.newcastlede.gov/259/Art-Studio unty Art Studio . I didn’t come to the darkroom as an expert, but had just enough knowledge to keep the program open, and a belief that these kinds of spaces matter. I have been happily learning alongside my students ever since; the beginners who may have never stepped foot in a darkroom before (or are new to photography altogether)

Public Meltdowns and Parenting Through Tantrums | The Shift from Baby to Big Brother | Gentle Strategies That Actually Help
To be completely honest, I’ve had a rough couple of weeks of toddler tantrums. Except: Hugo just turned four. Is he even a toddler anymore? Four is a liminal age. Not quite a toddler, not quite a “big kid,” suddenly very aware of their own power, while still learning to regulate their behavior and having a completely undeveloped nervous system.

Born in Triage | Home Birth turned Hospital Birth | Asa's Birth Story
But now, I realized, I would have to surrender to something entirely different.
This process-- accepting that I had risked out of a home birth-- became its own exercise in surrender. There were so many unknowns ahead, as a hospital birth had never been part of my experience.

Wright Pottery | Hearts and Hands in Clay: An interview with Ashley Wright on Family, Craft, and Life in her Home Studio | Easton, Maryland
When you step into the Wrights’ home studio in Easton, Maryland, you immediately sense the rhythm of a life grounded in clay. Shelves hold pieces under plastic, slowly drying. Nearby, bisque-fired pots (and pumpkins at this time of year!) wait for glaze, while kilns-- still warm-- stand ready to be unloaded.
