photos

I try to take at least one photograph every day and love the way the results serve as a visual diary of the weeks and months of my life. I take photos of the good and bad but usually share only the good. Not because I want people to think my life is perfect but because those are the memories I want to focus on. Life is not perfect but it is pretty good.

Photos are taken with either my iPhone or my Sony NEX-6 and  are edited in Snapseed, and/or Instagram.

About Me

I’m Victoria Griffith and I am enthusiastic about a LOT of things. Pine trees and mushrooms and the desert. Mountains and motorcycles, travel and photography. Friendship and writing and books and surviving the love of your life’s terminal diagnosis.


I read constantly, think about reading obsessively, and have strong opinions about what makes a great memoir. I write about books here, and I’m working on one of my own.

I was born in Paterson, NJ, call Seattle home, and spend winters in the desert of Southern California, where the light is different and the ocotillos are doing something extraordinary. I try to get out and see as much of the world as time and money will allow.
