it seems so simple, they just ‘do.’ we have a lot to learn.

Life is an Offering: The Anatomy of a Balinese Prayer Offering..
the phrase “life is an offering” was painted on the side of a building somewhere between Kuta and Ubud. it caught my eye on our very first day and, in that moment, i knew we were someplace very special.. i couldn’t wait to understand more.
Welcome to Bali / An Introduction..
at 1am on Sunday, May 8th after about 36 hours of travel, we landed in Bali, Indonesia. within the first day alone, i was moved to tears as i absorbed our new surroundings.. struggling with how in the world i would capture the pure magic of this place, these soulful people, and this beautiful culture, unlike any other, in just 10 days..
..but i tried, oh i tried.
June 21, 2011 - 10:47 am - Your blog site was sent to me by Jennie McCashin, who was my next door neighbor in Pasadena, until I moved to NYC in mid-April. She thought I would be interested in your photos, since I spent this past February and March in Bali. I must say, you have certainly captured that aspect you went looking for. Being a comedy writer, I focused more on the ridiculous and the sublime. Anyway, thank you for your photos and commentary and I look forward to hearing and seeing more.
June 21, 2011 - 11:24 am - Hi Arnold - Thank you for your thoughtful comment.. I really appreciate it and would be very interested in reading your comedy writing! I hope you had an amazing time in Bali, as well.
August 1, 2011 - 9:21 am - Hi Teri -- It's Marnee from Bali Institute. I just returned from my 3 month Bali journey. Which, by the way, didn't feel like enough time to digest or capture it all. Your work is AMAZING! I am so looking forward to following your upcoming posts... Oh how I longed for a "real" camera (and some photography talent) while I was there.
maybe my wishes get carried away..
“Maybe my wishes get carried away,
merely well planned exaggerations.
But foolish or not, it’s merely my way,
my very own unwritten legislation.
All I can be is me, there are no more options.
You better learn to take me as we go.
Until then, I’ll keep writing songs on coffee shop napkins,
waiting for you to see me through the window.”
- Mike Bass, East Lansing based Singer/Songwriter

Spring Photo Advice: Organize / Print / Back up your Digital Photos / Memories
I have a sneaking suspicion that I am not the only one who has fallen behind with the constant wave of digital technology. If you are finding yourself overwhelmed with organizing, printing, and backing up your digital photos, I hope these simple tips will help you get started!
May 4, 2011 - 5:42 pm - I needed this reminder...thank you, Teri. Great advice, I would be heartbroken to lose all of my snapshots.
this is it. / this is life.
Nothing else matters, but the people we love and loving the land on which we live and breathe. Forget concrete and cars, careers and conflicts… instead, let’s escape for a day. We’ll leap over puddles and laugh ‘til we cry. We’ll gaze up at the birds and rest easy as the storm clouds pass.
In these moments, it’s true… nothing else matters.
April 12, 2011 - 2:50 pm - Thanks so much Teri! You're beautiful art work is indeed universally much appreciated! They are also dealing with radiation fears in the air, food and water. These pictures remind us to hold on to what is precious in life. It is WE who are honored!
April 13, 2011 - 7:07 am - Your welcome, Lynn. Your family is in my thoughts.. I hope they experience relief very soon. Photographing your girls was true inspiration to me to hang on to what matters. Their spirits are so bright and free.. it's contagious!
there are two boys who love to fly.
On two winter days And across the country apart, There are two boys who love to fly. With their wide eyes turned up to the sky, I see they are dreamers already. The first set of images was taken in December in Los Angeles, California. The second set was taken earlier this evening in Grand...
March 7, 2011 - 12:52 pm - such a cheery post, Teri! beautiful pictures, as always.
