some days are a little bit extraordinary.
January 10, 2012 - 2:09 pm - I LOVE all of these shots... the kids are always adorable-- but the last shot of Jennie & Steve is amazing! Why didn't that make the card, Jennie!?!? XOXO
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!

These two photographs appeared on the same roll of film as the Runyon photographs in my previous post and they stood out to me immediately. So, maybe it took me about 3 months to take 12 exposures on this roll of film using my plastic, imperfectly-perfect Diana camera (and 5 months before I actually …

runyon canyon bench series (post 8)
I had to refer back to the tiny purple notebook I carried along on my hikes to figure out when this roll of film was started: August 10th, 2010.. 5 months ago! In December, I finally mailed my exposed roll of film back to the photo lab I used to live down the street from....
realizing life while we live it
“I didn’t realize. All that was going on in life and we never noticed… Good-bye, Good-bye, world. Good-bye, Grover’s Corners… Good-bye to clocks ticking and Mama’s sunflowers… And new-ironed dresses and hot baths. And sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you. Do any human beings ever realize life...

runyon canyon bench series (post 7)
There is no need to look for the bench in this next set of photographs. (Because I’m either sitting on it or walking away from it.) Each time I reach the peak of my hikes lately, I no longer feel the need to take a picture of the bench. Instead, I feel a strong pull...
runyon canyon bench series (post 6)
There is another reason this project exists. I am hopelessly sentimental, so when I know I will miss something, I photograph it. It’s how I deal with change.. and change is not my favorite. It’s why I chose to start photographing this bench several months ago. I knew that change was upon us and here...
20 things my heart loves..
“Our truth lies in what we love, and as we remind ourselves that we have loved and do love, we find our way unerringly back to the place from which accomplish is possible… it’s almost impossible to make a list of heart loves without concluding we live in a rich, savory, and enjoyable world where...
