Montreal

December 11, 2017December 9, 2017 Rachel BatdorffLeave a comment

En route to Montreal, Quebec to temporarily escape the fires of Fort Wayne–I was psyched to be in a different narrative…even if only for a week. The thing about this life is that these moments don’t last. But that’s not the greeting moment you want to have on the back of your mind with a… Continue reading Montreal

The Upper Peninsula

July 16, 2017 Rachel BatdorffLeave a comment

Cherry wine and sand. A bridge long enough to make you feel nervous, short enough to make you feel safe. Blue water, clear down to 19th century shipwrecks. Cool air that makes you think Canada with every local Yooper’s, “hello.” An eerie peace covers the forest and the water, harboring secrets of past battles and… Continue reading The Upper Peninsula

City of Bridges

June 5, 2017 Rachel BatdorffLeave a comment

City of bridges. To everywhere, to nowhere. To fate, to choice. To continued paths and dead ends. To answers, to questions. To safety, to danger. To light days and dark nights. To abundance, to scarcity. To freedom, to captivity. To voluntary initiatives and compulsory actions. City of bridges. Which one to take.

I think traveling is addictive. The more I see, the more I want to see. There’s something about feeling small in such a large, enormous world that also makes you feel alive. Los Angeles, California was an adventure and here’s a tiny part of what the city and culture had to offer.

Photography Keeps me Sane

May 7, 2016May 7, 2016 Rachel BatdorffLeave a comment

I dropped my bracelet in the toilet. No, SERIOUSLY. I dropped my bracelet in the toilet. It slipped off so silently. It didn’t even make a splash. I wasn’t even sure it really happened. Did my bracelet actually just fall in the toilet? But unfortunately it did. I covered my bracelet in soap and scorching… Continue reading Photography Keeps me Sane

Through the Looking Glass

January 14, 2016January 14, 2016 Rachel BatdorffLeave a comment

This week winter showed up. And it really showed up. The beginning of this week was SO COLD. With messy snow. So messy it forced me to work out of a “home office” for one day. I didn’t go anywhere that whole entire day. Basically I just looked out the window….and ran outside for a… Continue reading Through the Looking Glass

There’s Purpose in the Process

December 14, 2015 Rachel BatdorffLeave a comment

It’s a process. I throw my glove in the snow. This picture is just not turning out right. I adjust the shutter speed, the aperture, the ISO, and carefully focus in on my subject. There! Fifty photos later I click through the photo previews, finally satisfied. I look up at what’s left of the sun.… Continue reading There’s Purpose in the Process

Bison

June 8, 2015November 16, 2015 Rachel BatdorffLeave a comment

I  love nature photography. The bison at Ouabache State Park in Wells County, Indiana gave me the perfect opportunity to practice my skills…and there’s even a brand new baby bison! I shot these in the evening with my Nikon DSLR 5200 using a portrait lens and 200mm lens. I love the hazy, dreamy effect of… Continue reading Bison

Where I Grew Up

May 6, 2015November 16, 2015 Rachel BatdorffLeave a comment

As a child I was only aware of two states–Indiana and Michigan. Yes, obviously I knew their were 50 states, and I could name them with their capitals for the elementary school memory tests, but in my world there was only two. I was born and raised in Indiana. My parents still live on property… Continue reading Where I Grew Up
