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. I love to run.

My project asks, What Does It Feel Like to Run? My photographs are blurred or gritty or wonderful impressions of motion. Similar to myself when my legs and heart want to run, my photographs are restless and imperfect. My photographs feel like what it is like to run with me; there’s a thought, a memory, a feeling, or nothing. Just running.

My project is about the feelings of running. My photographs invite you to step into my run, to feel the blur of motion and the weight of reflection, and to join me in the complicated, beautiful, relentless act of running.
