Images for you...

My goodness I am IN LOVE with the work of Amy Finkelstein.  Like melting memories, cities or bodies.... or are they forming?

 "...Photographs now seem as abundant as words, taken in as a grammar or code. My work has become a sort of code, or formal system in my mind: reducing infinite subject-hood to simple planes of matter to be photographed and perceived. I am intrigued by the impulse to comprehend and read this language, and am informed by the context and image body we bring with us to any one photographic object or lens based gesture. Considering all we bring, I tend to eliminate much, reducing the photogenic possibilities down to a blank sheet of drafting film, ink, and a discipline with analog photography. From this place of uncertainty comes some sort of measurable mark. The camera takes it, and we take the image. For my thinking, the process is no longer about specific idea or creative gesture, but about certain distances of form and media yielding to potential."

Warmth for you...

I really love my job.  I get to share moments with people at they are most happiest, most loved, most giving love, most beautiful, most honest, most vulnerable.  This morning I had the privilege to shoot an elopement at City Hall and it was just perfectly lovely.

Anyway, have the most perfect weekend.  I am looking forward to the snow, inside looking out.
Please warm your heart with the most perfect ad in history...

Singer Mara Carlyle, song "Pianni"

Inspiration for you...

"PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO PURSUE THEIR MOST IMPORTANT DREAMS, BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT THEY DON’T DESERVE THEM, OR THAT THEY’LL BE UNABLE TO ACHIEVE THEM. WE, THEIR HEARTS, BECOME FEARFUL JUST THINKING OF LOVED ONES WHO GO AWAY FOREVER, OR OF MOMENTS THAT COULD OF BEEN GOOD BUT WEREN’T, OR OF TREASURES THAT MIGHT OF BEEN FOUND BUT WERE FOREVER HIDDEN IN THE SANDS. BECAUSE, WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN, WE SUFFER TERRIBLY. 
SO, WE, THEIR HEARTS, SPEAK MORE AND MORE SOFTLY. WE NEVER STOP SPEAKING OUT, BUT WE BEGIN TO HOPE THAT OUR WORDS WON’T BE HEARD: WE DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO SUFFER BECAUSE THEY DON’T FOLLOW THEIR HEARTS." PAULO COELHO

Fashion for you


In the meantime an interesting piece on how a little something has been lost for all in today's world of over saturated fashion photography.

Oh hello again...

It's been oh so long.  I recently looked back at the work I did with LowtideHIGHTIDE and felt I missed myself. As if I was an outsider looking in, or I was not myself.  A teacher once told me about writing, write it for you, if you are interested in what you write have faith others will be.

It seems in order to be inspired sometimes we have to act, we have to find the inspirations - they do not move by our eyes and whiplash us into creativity. We have to sit and think within our thoughts.  The days can pass over us so smoothly, and like a rock to water, we can become soft to it's time and lie there forever until we are a tiny speck of sand. The same particle, but smaller, beaten down by our own choices.

But I choose to reactivate into the world and again sit with my thought.  Here is where visions and beauty are birthed.
