Me with headphones in the middle of the forest with a recorder at hand.

Recording water sounds in a very small and quiet stream.

My Zoom H4E recorder doing a precarious balancing act on a wooden branch above the stream.

Me again in the woods on a different day.

I did #fieldrecording work during my #MacDowellResidency last month. There's this forest, water, wind, owls hooting - beautiful #soundscapes. But there's also airplane traffic above, zooming vehicles far away. Human sounds encroach on seemingly remote spaces […]

Text describing the James Baldwin Fellowship at MacDowell that reads as follows: James Baldwin Fellowship Established in 2019 These Fellowships honor three-time MacDowell Fellow James Baldwin and his influence on the American consciousness through his writings on racial justice and social inequality by providing artists of today time and space to create work that celebrates and furthers Baldwin’s legacy as an activist and artist. The Fellowship supports writers. Current and past supporters of these Fellowships include the Hearst Foundation, Amazon Literary Partnership, Bank of America, Agnes Gund, and Musa and Tom Mayer. Most recent recipients Delight Ejiaka, Diana Cejas 2024 The MacDowell logo, a letter M that is in shades of pink, green, and blue, sits next to the text

I don't know what to say other than to say thank you.

Thank you to those who made this fellowship possible.

Thank you @macdowell1907.bsky.social for the time and space to work on my book. Hopefully I do these honors justice.
