A is for Azure
as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure.

Whatever makes you happy
It’s a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy. ~Lucille Ball
Cold and rainy weekends are meant to be spent in the dark. So I played. Played with pantyhose on the lens; played with split filters and selenium toning. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start, and it makes me happy.

First Holy Communion
I was thrilled when I received an email from Little Miss A’s mom for her First Holy Communion portraits. I’ve photographed each of her children for their Communion and I still can’t get over that it’s her ”baby’s” turn! Of course, she’s no baby. I’ve watched her through the past 4 years turn from a chubby-cheeked preschooler to a [...]
And then she sang
I met Whitney between auditions on a freezing cold Sunday afternoon for a few headshots. And I couldn’t have been more happy to meet such a beautiful woman with a positive, happy outlook on life. That would have been enough to make my day…
And then she sang. In between the trees and snow. And [...]
Snow day!

Yesterday’s News
Twenty-ten is so…yesterday. I’m excited for the possibilities of twenty-eleven. I usually don’t plan any new year’s resolutions. Seems I set myself up for failure when I do that. But I do have a word for 2011. True. Be true to myself, be true to what I love and what makes me happy. It’s really a [...]

Instant Gratification
There’s just something about a polaroid that makes me sigh. It took me 5 tries to figure the camera and film out, but it was worth it. Four shots left…

Slipping away
I can feel it and there’s no stopping it. I can feel it. The moments are slipping away from me. Maybe it’s because I’ve just realized that my oldest will be off to the high school this Fall. Really, high school, already? How did that happen? Or maybe it’s because my youngest daughter has her [...]

Listen to the mustn’ts child.
Listen to the don’ts.
Listen to the shouldn’t haves, the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me.

Knowledge
“Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your [...]
Art every day
An apple a day…er, pumpkin…er, how about, a photo a day keeps the soul okay.
I’m taking part in the Art Every Day Month for November
to keep my creativity flowing. So I’m taking a photo a day
and will post as soon as they’re developed and scanned.
