Nancy’s Darkroom

About the Substack

Personal substack for my thoughts, written and visual. I write on awe, climate/environment, documentary photography, single motherhood/parenting, time and memory, healing, trauma, grief AND (let's end on a good note) Love. How all of these things overlap.

And a Dog

I am an incurable memoir addict. I love reading it, teaching it, and writing it. Here you will find stories from a life, but you will also learn how to write it, and how memoir can be transformative beyond the page.
