The Photojojo camera collection 2012!
We just spent the past two weeks in Mexico brainstorming how we can make Photojojo even more Photojojo-y for our trusty fans (YOU GUYS)!
A new study of women ages 18 to 44 found that drinking coffee and other caffeinated beverages can alter levels of estrogen.

I’ve thought a lot over this past year, while suffering through the sickness of treatments, that this experience should be recorded. I’ve thought about writing it, photographing it, filming it. There seems to be shame surrounding it—an embarrassment, a need to hide, a need to retain and remain “normal”. Wigs, hats and scarves, prosthetics, padded bras….I felt it too. Lost in the missing, the loss. But what can be gained in the absence?

The stats are out—last year 77% of all TV shows were directed by white men, 11% by white women, 1% by women of color. Of the 130 new directors hired last year, 78% were white men. We have a ways to go!
Creative Rebooting
After nearly a year of focusing all of my energy on my health, I am now happily able to add the joy and challenge of other pursuits back into my life. It’s time for a creative reboot!
I have a few writing and video projects percolating that I can’t wait to share! Also I will be taking stock of past photo projects to cull my favorite images and will be posting those soon!
