Nooks in the Sierra Madres
Nooks in the Sierra Madres
Recently, I chatted with my dear friend Natalie Minguez about how I miss being an undergraduate student and having the opportunity to take art classes and learn from well-seasoned professionals. I loved being assigned projects & prompts that challenged my photography skills and gave me space to be creative with a camera.
So Natalie said, “Why don’t we create our own prompts for eachother?”
We penciled in a day to have a photo walk and thus, this project was born! On the day of our adventure, Nat handed me her favorite book by Durga Chew-Bose, titled Too Much and Not the Mood. Underlined on a bookmarked page read…
“Nook people express appreciation in the moment by maintaining how much we will miss what is presently happening. Our priorities are spectacularly disordered. A nook person might spend the last few years of her twenties thinking she is dying. Convinced of it.”
NOOK/NOUN
A corner or recess, especially one offering seclusion or security.
"the nook beside the fire"
So, I spent the day wandering the winding roads of the Sierra Madres with Natalie, capturing the corners and crevices where I perceive Nook people might take up space.
