Artist I Admire: Julie Blackmon

cup of jo did a lovely feature of photographer julie blackmon 🎉🎉. i’ve always admired her daughter’s work so it is not surprising that talent runs aplenty in the family.

some interesting bits—she didn’t start taking photos until her late thirties, and she couldn’t imagine working anywhere other than her “middle of nowhere, generic American town” in the midwest.

funny. here i am, age 22, fretting left and right about not landing where i want in life (apparently the feeling isn’t exclusive 😮). here’s a gentle reminder that my self and my potential are not defined by the institutions / cities / industries i’ve currently aligned with.
