about a secret.

happy ... friday....

what a fun day...my neice was dropped off at 8:30 am,
and off we went...she ran errands with me...i must say it's more fun with a 5 year old mind, seeing the world just alittle different than her auntie B's mind, not that much different..
this afternoon, after P&J sandwiches and pickles, we did a little relaxing painting...
have a great weekend...

waist

there is no greater waste than to live an ordinary life...
there is nothing more tragic than a person who has lost their magic!!
-mark eberra

its snowing again, just slightly, well maybe not...it looks like hail, my Lacy just got into a match box and so I just finished picking up about 200 matches on the kitchen floor..hey!
my mind has been on the left side...Taxes...after living on my studio floor with a thousand receipt's and a calulator...the process is over and the Taxes are done....now back to some real work.

D.H. Lawrence by Anais Nin

I am loving this book..first chapter(the approach to D.H. Lawrence's World) must quote..
"If a man loves life, and feels the sacredness and mystery of life, than he knows that life is full of
strange and subtle and even conflicting imperatives. And a wise man learns to recognize the imperatives as they arise--- or nearly so--- and to obey. But most men bruise themselves to death trying to fight and overcome their own, new, life-born needs, life's ever strange imperatives. The secret of all life is obedience: obedience to the urge that arises in the soul, the urge that is life itself, urging us to new gestures, new embraces, new emotions, new combinations, new creations."

these are some old photo's, from when I lived in Denver...I loved shooting into windows.

open communication

About a week ago, I was asked to give a presentation at an photo expo in May, not so much into this...but know it would be a great experience teaching others about photography... so I have decided to {show and tell} about how to capture children as they are, with open communication.
These photo's are of little Will, been shooting him since he was 8 months old..love him.
