ナオミ・シマダさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ナオミ・シマダInstagram)「when I started my love letter #tendercontributions I wanted it to be a place where I could experiment and express things in a safe intimate place away from the utter madness and noise of other social media. I didn’t necessarily mean for it to become somewhere I solely posted painstaking word-heavy essays every few months but over time that’s what it's become. It’s made me become more avoidant of using it as writing about what I’m really truly sitting with often feels so heavy and big as everything around us continues to collapse. Writing as a form of bringing ideas together and processing still feels really important to me (and there’s lots more of it to come) but in the meantime I just wanted to take the pressure that I put on myself off myself by trying something new, to repurpose this space a little bit, to just get some much-needed new energy flowing. so for today’s post a little bit on why I love to take photos, that I’ve never really seen myself as a photographer but more of a guardian or purveyor of love, beauty and joy. sharing some portraits of flowers and my family (or my family in flowers!) as an ode to loosening things up a little going forward, they make me really happy and I hope they are able to bring you even a smidge of goodness too ~ 💞」5月9日 21時22分
