After her death in October of 2010, I felt a strong pull to many of her old posessions: elastic-waistband denim, vinyls,
floral shirts (inevitably ordered from QVC), casserole dishes
with mushroom motifs, costume jewelry, and, of course, the

photos I’ve captured over the years. My Grandma’s Polaroid
has been my faithful companion - from Saõ Paolo to Oaxaca,
from Guatemala to New York, from LA to the Amazon Rainforest, and everywhere in between.
It’s likely, if you know me even a little bit, that you’ve seen me
with this relic. It means the world to me and also has a way of
slowing me down. It reminds me of the importance of taking
your shot and of intentionality and of a world not so long ago where you couldn’t curate reality to the degree in which we do today.
This one’s for you, Nanny.
