Hi, I’m Jamelah

This is my website.

I’ve been writing online since 1996 or so and doing photography since 2005-ish where I started on Flickr with a very small point and shoot digital camera that was maybe like 3 megapixels. I didn’t know anything about taking photos then, but I learned a lot from the friends I made there. The photo that got me hooked was one I took of fireflies in a jar.

These days, I write less than I used to, but I still do once in awhile. Mostly here, when the mood strikes. I take a lot of photos, most of which sit in an archive on my computer until I look at them months or even years later and see something I like about them. I use a Nikon workhorse DSLR that is heavy and awkward to carry and daydream about getting something lighter. I also use my phone a lot.

I work in technology for a living and I have ADHD so I have tried more hobbies than I can list or remember, but I make a life out of creating things. I perform in local theater, take photos, make bread, garden, and other stuff I’m probably forgetting.

I am happily married to an amazing partner who ALSO communicates in song lyrics so we sing a lot and neither of us is very good at it. I am a step-mom to some pretty great kids. I have a dog who is smarter than several people I have met.

Speaking of dogs, I would love to meet your dog. I am allergic to your cat (sorry). If you haven’t already, subscribe to my blog for updates. It’s about whatever I feel like writing about whenever I feel like writing and it might be funny or it might not be, and we all get to find out together. I am often as surprised by myself as anyone else might be.

Thanks for coming by. You’re swell.
