Only working on a long-term creative project, "Driftwood Lady from Jekyll Island" that is made of B&W photographs, texts and music/soundscapes. The challenge has been to do everything by myself (photography, writing, sound track making, video editing and narrating the story). Promoting it since summer 2023. Looking for making up a photo-book with the right publisher.
