nine {with susan tuttle}
Nine is an interview series with creative folks; the interviewees are asked to respond to the questions in photographs.
Today's interview is with the kindred spirit Susan Tuttle. I was lucky enough to meet Susan last year at Squam, and her writing and photography have captivated me ever since.
Question 1: Who are you?
Question 2: What do you love about where you live?
Question 3: What might your perfect afternoon look like?
Question 4: If you had an hour alone in your studio/creative space, what would you do?
Question 5: Right now, what are some of your favorite things?
Question 6: What foods nourish your soul?
Question 7: When you need to simply take a breath and reground yourself, what do you do?
Question 8: How do you nurture your creative dreams?
Question 9: Does your heart have a secret wish you want to share?
