Poetic Photograph: Love

Friday, February 15th, 2008
Heartinthesand                       We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive, where every sense is heightened, and every emotion is magnified. Our everyday reality is shattered and we are flung into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, or an afternoon, but that… Read More

Heartinitials_2 Should he ever forget, here are 100 reasons why I love my husband, Bill: 1. He always tries to please me. 2. I love his soulful, kind brown eyes. 3. He has a GREAT butt. 4.

Change, or Become Obsolete

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008
Cameraclubthumb I was saddened the other day when I went to visit a local photo store to find that they had gone out of business. There, in the front window was a “for lease” sign and inside it was dark.

However, listening to my colleagues who did know him, I wish that I had known him too. The service for his passing was held this weekend and I suspect that it was standing room only.… Read More

Making History: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008
No matter who you are voting this year, this year we are making history. In our history we have had only one black man make it to (but not through) the primary election and we have never had a woman running for president. If you're a Democrat, I think you should feel proud in that we are truly changing the terrain of politics. Congratulations to both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. May the best candidate win. Be proud of your role in creating change and diversity and a new brand of politics for the millennium. Peace. Read More

Dream Camera: Nikon D3

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008
Nikon1 I have been taking pictures ever since I can remember. Whether it was goofing around as a kid with the family Polaroid camera, or as I prepared for my first photography class at age 12. My first camera was a black and white, Mamiya Sekkor camera. We didn’t have much money growing up and my parents weren’t sure that photography would be a hobby that would… Read More

Girl’s Night Out

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008
2wineglassesclcopy Yesterday morning, I stood, half-dressed in the hallway that separates the bedroom from the kitchen, announcing to my husband, “Girl’s night out. I won’t be home for dinner!” My arms were raised high and over my head, as if I had scored a touchdown in the final two minutes of a game. Bill laughed.… Read More
