    Dear Mr. Bowie, I am sad too. It is so white outside…very boring, eh?

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Home

    Stina, Ginny, Thea

    This picture of myself, my sister Ginny, and her daughter Thea, was taken 15 or 16 years ago. Thea is now married, her partner expecting a baby. My sister, who lives in Florida, turns 70 on February 11th. As some of you know, I recently turned 55.

    As geography, time, and life experiences separate us from the classic definition of “home”, I struggle to keep it in my heart by recalling things shared. This photo is an example of such a moment.

  • Inspired by Arjun Bagga

    As you may have noticed, my interest in photography runs the gamut of subject matter.

    I really like the idea of portraits; photographing people posed, or simply doing what they do.  Arjun Bagga recently posted a photograph that has so many interesting layers- color, artistry, social and political undertones- really quite amazing… http://arjunbagga.wordpress.com/2013/02/06/hello-guess-who/

    I continue to experiment!

    Bagheera is often overshadowed by his Tabby brother, Dylan. Today is his time to shine.

    I took this pic last summer on a fishing trip on the St Croix river in Wisconsin. I confess, I was just a bystander…but it was FUN!

  • Wish I had a Million…but not why you might think!

    January 31, 2013

    Yafiet

    I love working with kids on photo projects. They are SO candid and utterly uninhibited. Poor teachers…I leave a trail of chaos behind me. Today I visited a small Catholic school in the neighborhood. The kids are working on a special project to support Fresh Grounds, a non-profit coffee-house and social venture that is a great place to hang out and is also a job training site for at-risk youth.

    Here are a couple of my favs (oh, by the way- the Archdiocese is closing this school..too much money dontcha’ know. Of course they have lots of dollars for other battles, but I won’t sully the post with politics.) If anyone HAS a million to donate- that is what it will take to keep the school open, and these kindergarteners won’t be scattered about.
