more illusions

~ On Photography "Photography does not create eternity, as art does; it embalms time, rescuing it simply from its proper corruption ~ Susan Sontag

~ so love this book ,she is a master with words....i am in the last week of my art work...the show is this saturday....i am finding it is more challenging to do the work this time of year..for my garden has been calling for me and for that sake... everyone and their dog...happy week...xo

clouded illusions....

~i so love these words...more inspiration for my life work....

~the hidden life....

~ Photography concentrates one's eye on the superficial. For that reason it obscures the hidden life which glimmers through the outlines of things like a play of light and shade. One can't catch that even with the sharpest lens ~ Karl Heiner

~a beautiful rainy Monday....perfect for editing,creating new art and drinking a lot of tea... images of sisters, wanted something just a little different...hadn't had images made since they were little....xo

layers of illusion...

~ Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world. Arnold Newman

creating my new collection for the up coming spring fest at the Moss Mansion

graceful exit....

"There’s a trick to the 'graceful exit.'

It begins with the vision to recognize when a job,

a life stage,

or a relationship is over — and let it go.

It means leaving what’s over without denying its validity

or its past importance to our lives.

It involves a sense of future,

a belief that every exit line is an entry,

that we are moving up,

rather than out."

— Ellen Goodman

~in my jarden...

~ There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are ~ Ernst Haas

~working on new art work, for the show in June, it's a perfect day...snow in May...have a sweet spring snowy day...xo
