Linus wouldn’t go anywhere without his blankie, Batman had his cape, Dorothy had her ruby slippers.

As for me, I’m Ames - and I’m attached to my camera.

I am particularly average, especially as a 30 something woman. I wear Merrill hiking shoes with just about every outfit, and daily teatime helps me be a happier human. I am a supporter and defender of all things human rights, truly can’t stand the taste of tomato sauce (yes, even pizza) and have a habit of using bitmoji gifs for just about every type of communication.

GETTING TO KNOW ME

I’m raising a pint sized comedic genius alongside their father (plot twist: - dad and I are putting our own spin on queer co-parenting) along with a couple cats and some local wildlife. There’s a plastic penguin that lives in the front yard, too.

Aside from my love of photography and history, some of my favorite things include studying personality types (infp, 5w6 since you didn’t ask), reading cheesy action novels (sigma force fan for life!) and scavenging milk glass from thrift stores to add to my never-ending collection.

Art has been a consistent theme throughout my life - color, textures, lines and patterns tend to be where my eye goes first. As such, things such as other print mediums, decorating, fashion, and even cooking have been previous hyperfixations.

Feel free to take a look around and check out some of the nuttiness, and if you really want to learn more about me you can check out my whole story here.
