Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Would just like to say that besides all the other wonderful work David Attenborough has done, no movie has or will ever put me on an emotional roller coaster as intense as Planet Earth. The drama is insane there is no match fuck you Love Island people. #davidattenborough 010
Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Happy 9th birthday to my best adventure buddy Willow ❤️ Don't slow down just yet...we have much more to see together. #dogsofbluesky #nature 0101

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Tidy Tips, a stunning and cheerful native wildflower. It covers our grasslands and hillsides when they aren't being dominated by invasive mustard. #naturephotography #photography #ecology 0130

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I find the juxtaposition between man-made and nature bizarre and unsettling but also fascinating. #photography #naturephotgraphy #sunset 0110
Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Winter is my favorite season, but spring is also so beautiful. The recent record-breaking March heatwave really bummed me out. This April storm is like revisiting winter, but WITH wildflowers blooming everywhere! Best of both worlds! #california #nature #storm 020
Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 10/04/2026The hillsides were covered in Tidy Tips today. I love these happy little yellow and white blooms. I've never seen them this dense! #nature #botany #plantnative 081

Reposted by Vanessa WesterfieldKasey Gifford @kaseygifford.bsky.social · 03/04/2026A majority of Americans don't understand what's happening to our water right now. Data centers are being built near major water tables, polluting/guzzling a finite resource we depend on for survival. Corps are being deliberately quiet about it so people outside affected communities stay in the dark. 5198108
Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Limontaur Beach, Point Reyes. I took an animal tracking class out here the other day and it was utterly eye-opening. I can't wait to share some tips here soon! The most exciting tracks we found were the Tule Elk, endemic to California and these days, specifically Point Reyes. #nature #ecology 030
Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Some days it's hard to get myself out the door and on the trail. Those are the days I know I probably need it most. And so does she. She is the extra bit of encouragement I often need. #sunset #nature #hiking 060

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Spent an afternoon watching my nieces build rock towers in a creek. Little moments like these are everything. "No one touch that rock...because it's special" -Kirsten 🤣 I love her #nature #kids 020
Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 11/03/2026My grandmother's 95th birthday just passed, this was her 91st. I hoped she would make it this long and she has. She still gardens, bakes, and ferments her foods. Shot on 4x5 Portra 160. A Romanian and German WWII refugee, this incredibly tough woman is a hero. Cont'd #believeinfilm #photography 1242

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 07/03/2026I love how many old wood water towers are scattered throughout Sonoma County. My first home on my own at 19 was one of these converted into an apartment. They were used as water towers between the 1850s and 1930s. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #nightphotography 0130

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 06/03/2026My friend with her boy just before he passed from kidney failure. She asked me to do a portrait knowing he was not going to live much longer. He was her soul cat 💔 I'm glad I captured such a happy moment with them, rather than the feeling of impending doom. The memory of love. #believeinfilm 2161
Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Fenweh is the German word for wanderlust, and possibly the most beautiful word in the language. My dad's side of the family is from Germany, I grew up listening to my grandparents speak it. It often sounds harsh and sharp, but the word Fenweh is so simple yet mystical. #filmphotography #photography 1240

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Shot my first roll of Cinestill 400D. I'll post a few sporadically. So far, I like it. But not nearly as much as 800T and not enough to replace Portra for a daylight film. Anyone tried it? #believeinfilm #photography #filmphotography 2191
Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I'm glad all the very sophisticated scientists I make marketing campaigns for can't see me while I'm working.

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 13/02/2026The song of the Red Winged Blackbird is one of my favorites. I grew up in a mobile home park with a creek behind it (yes I'm a little bit trailer trash) so it's pure nostalgia and peace for me to hear them just as I did so often as a child playing at that creek. #birds #nature 020

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Things that are less parasitic than ICE, part 1. Barnacles! Most people think barnacles parasiticize the organisms they cling to, however they are mostly harmless unless the host is already sick or immune compromised. They also provide microhabitats for smaller organisms and filter water. #nature 030
Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Vanessa, and this is my best nature adventure companion, Willow.

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Mussels, one of the ocean's filters. They absorb excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous, while providing a crucial food source for many marine species. An abundance of mussels is a good indicator of clean water and a healthy marine ecosystem. This is in Bodega Bay. #marinelife #tidepools 041

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 30/12/2025Descending into the fog. I love living in the valley because the fog gets trapped in between the hills for hours on fall and winter mornings, creating a mystical blanket of moisture. #nature #fog #california 020

Vanessa Westerfield @paradoxstudios.bsky.social · 20/12/2025This year, AI produced a carbon footprint nearly equal to New York City and used as much water as the bottled water industry.
