I’ve been ruminating on beauty x the experience of awe a lot lately. Your Polaroids (particularly of flowers) have Twombly’s painterly & poetic beauty.
Jen, what an incredibly kind thing to say! I remember when I first saw his lovely Polaroids--I was stunned. *This* is by Cy Twombly, whose paintings were more befuddling than a dozen riddles?? They seemed so lovely and quiet. I really aspire to that and thank you!
That was such a great question!! I kind of love titling things, but sometimes it's just (as the kids would say) a vibe. You don't title vibes! You're just like "here is this feeling." Naming it might define or over-define the feeling in a way that you don't want.

And kuddos to MAC for asking Ms Mann why so many of her photos were titled untitled.
Honestly, I also wondered how one got away with untitling their photos-- it's often the worst part.
