Push My Button!
I have a "button" on my blog. It's a first. It's big. I'm excited. (Ok, maybe it's not really big, but it feels big to me.) The fine folks at Fly Paper Textures have asked me to pop on their link from my site. I agreed readily and presto, there it is. Look over...
“We see things not as they are. We see things as we are.” — Anais Nin
I am often thinking about this premise. Whether it's a question of a family dynamic, a discussion with a collaborator, or simply reading a news item, I find myself wondering what filter I am placing on a discussion or opinion. But lately, photographically, I've been...
Published!
I've been neglecting the blog lately. Bad form. One might think I've been enjoying a winter's rest, but that hasn't been the case. I do have some wonderful news to share....news that I've been guarding for a while. Meditation For Two is going to be published in the...
defining moments
A friend just asked me if I feel settled in West Virginia yet. The short answer: No. The longer answer is that I don't think I will, as I believe I will be traveling more than ever and therefore unable to nest properly. I'll be testing my ability to feel at home in...
Wishing You a Joyous Holiday Season
Merry Christmas to all my readers and friends. Once again this has been a year of change seasoned perfectly with dear friends and some good photography. I am filled to overflowing with gratitude. The wreath in the photograph was crafted by my dear friend,...
alternative processes
I'm having fun with new processing these days. My shooting time is limited, but I try to make a conscious effort to "see things new" (thank you, Ernst Haas, for this wisdom). Looking around at other photographer's work I became intrigued with what Tony Sweet was doing...
21 states of mind
Here's a long list of numbers to contemplate: 4925 (miles), 182 (gallons of gas), 21 (states), 6 (liters of Iced Tea), 4 (lemons), 1 (world's largest cross...of this I am dubious), 1,000,000 (pictures seen and not taken). A couple of posts ago I commented on the...
Gratitude
This is a quick post....with more to come tonight. The link I'm sharing is all about gratitude and synchronicity. I was thinking of all the wonderful teaching that I have had over the last five years and how to express my thoughts about it when I clicked on my...
storing memory
I am writing from California while looking at the late afternoon sun falling over the vineyards. It is warm and golden with the sweet sounds of birds in the olive trees. After a long summer the grass has turned green again following late October rains. It is a...
European Wrap Up…with horses!
I suppose I couldn't go too long without posting some equestrian images on the blog. History has long been a passion for me. Seeing the prevalence of the horse in European culture for centuries was a reminder of how dependent we have been on our equine friends for...
Thoughts on a birthday…finding direction
I'm spending a lot of time on planes now. For the most part I don't mind it, and sometimes I rather enjoy it. Last night I flew from the East Coast to Seattle. Six hours of time without a (good) book to read allowed me to write in my journal. I've just completed a...
“…the man who has seen Prague might tell us something.” Dr. Johnson
What can I tell you about Prague? My strongest impression: Prague is a powerful juxtaposition of new and old. After elbowing through a crowd of tourists navigating narrow lanes, you can discover restaurants in ancient vaulted spaces proclaiming "Slow Food Prague...
