Growth.  Expansion.  Recovery.

These three phases are the components of an auroral substorm; in the sobriety journey, recovery from addiction, our daily lives…we experience all of these phases in some capacity.

For nine years I was in the throes of an alcohol addiction.  I attempted to take my own life.  I endured an emotional break which included physically harming myself.  

I wanted to die & attempted to drink myself to death on many nights.

Yet in sobriety I discovered photography; and through photography I fell in love with the aurora. 

I found a place to be free.  To reflect.  To heal.  A place where traumas vanish.

A place to grow, expand, recover.

“Book II - Continuum” is the second collection in my long term body of work, where journal entries connect with the aurora to offer insight, hope, and honesty in recovery.

“In darkness there is opportunity - not only in finding the light, but also in becoming the light.”

(This book will consist of two parts)

Book II - Continuum (Pt. 1)

Every word, every sentence….every share…every chase.

There’s a cleanse that occurs - internal, external, superficial, relative….

This color cleanses the pain, the hardship, the trauma.  It’s an irrevocable effect compounding with every flash of light.

Traversing darkness is all one may be used to; all that one may believe they deserve to bask in.  

Does this make color & light more rewarding?  Or does it create a heightened sense of discomfort?

There’s security in darkness, yet with every motion there is a cleanse; a cleanse that allows this darkness to evaporate.
