Resources and Links

Support often arrives in the smallest of gestures. As part of the Amazon Affiliate program, I may earn a modest commission when you visit Amazon through the links below—whether or not you purchase the specific item featured. Even if you choose something entirely different, your journey still sends a quiet ripple of support my way. Best of all, it costs you nothing extra.

It’s a simple, unobtrusive way to help sustain my creative work—the photographs, stories, and experiences I share—just by using the links before you shop.
