will you join my running photography club?

My dad taught me to run when I was three years old, running loops around our house and telling me to pump my arms. Since then, I’ve run on tracks, on cross-country teams, on roads, trails, through pregnancies, and the day before my son was born. Running isn’t something I do; it’s who I am.

My project shows what running feels like. The photographs are fragments, blurred, gritty, impressions of motion. Restless and imperfect, like running itself, my photographs reflect what rises in me over the miles: a thought, a memory, gratitude, anger, love. The photographs carry the alchemy of running, making space for grief and love, exhaustion and elation, persistence and joy.

My project is about many things, however, above all, it is about joy. I love to run. My photographs are what that joy feels like: messy, alive, relentless, tender. The photographs invite you to step into my miles, to feel the blur of motion and the weight of reflection, and to join me in the complicated, beautiful, relentless act of moving forward.
