A collection of vintage photography and memorabilia including black and white photographs of a woman in a white dress, a woman in a hat holding a camera, and a scene with stairs, along with handwritten notes, a Kodak camera, a tube of oil paint, a spool of thread, a small metal tray, a rusty clamp, and a photograph of a bowl with an orange flower, all arranged on a textured surface.

Hey, my name is Melody

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

What you need (and don’t need) to know about me:

  • Some people think I’m quiet (LOL)—get me talking about the right thing, and I won’t shut up.

  • I’m awkward. So awkward. But I try to make up for it by being hilarious.

  • I’ve been taking photos for years—that’s not really a relevant stat. We’ve all been taking photos for years. What you need to know is that I’m dedicated to getting better and improving as an artist.

  • I’ve been in business for 6+ years.

  • I drink a latte every morning and I still miss being in the coffee industry. I’ve lost most of my latte art skill.

  • Even if I wasn’t getting paid, I would still be taking photos. The proof is in @roseonajourney and @prairie.pilgrim

“We can hardly make anything beautiful that wasn’t beautiful in the first place. We aren’t writers so much as gleeful re-arrangers of words whose meanings we can’t begin to know. When we manage to make something pretty, it’s only because we are ourselves a flourish on a greater canvas.”
