current count: 229 like many kids my age, i grew up playing pokémon. i loved catching frogs and bugs down by the neighborhood creek, watching birds gather at the feeder, seeing deer run through the yard at dawn and dusk - pokémon felt like an extension of that love, while at the same time a key force driving it forward.
the concept of a pokédex fascinated me. recording, classifying, and sorting a list of species as you encounter them, a steady, deliberate work that reflects your own journeys and growth.
i really only get a few fleeting moments with the creatures of the earth, and i want to savor those moments as much as possible.
i really love birds, and fish, and all animals!! i'm indexing every species i encounter in the wild for my life list, check out my photo gallery and zines if you're interested in related materials.
