Another from my Mermaids series: Lindsey. Best friend since third grade.
Hennessey & FADER asked me what my Wild Rabbit was and told me to photograph that (oh hey, dream job). What motivates me? The insanely amazing women I’m blessed to have in my life. So I did a series of 14 portraits of some of my favorite women in water because these are the people who center, comfort, inspire me. These are my mermaids. This one in particular is the most important: my incredible sister Rebecca. You wouldn’t guess it here but we laughed through this whole shoot. You can see more over on @Brinsonbanks’s Instagram & Tumblr.

Following footsteps to the South Rim overlook of The Grand Canyon
Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife, baby,
Edgy and dull
and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul (Bruce Springsteen) // A few days ago I hiked up to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in the snow in a spur-of-the-moment trip there. It was so beautiful I wept.
