notes from a creative life …
July 27, 2014 Today, I’m doing something different and posting myself in filterless full-color (in addition to my usual black and white): By now, you guys have figured out that I really love seeing things in monochrome. It feels meditative and revealing, an honest way of presenting my usual state of mind here. It also […]
July 26, 2014 Today my husband and I spent the day wandering around our local art museum, looking at plenty of fabulous textures and lines. But you know what? Today I have the courage to believe that I am a pretty magnificent work of art myself — imperfections, asymmetry, dark circles and all. And believing […]
July 25, 2014 Texture, pattern, line … and Light. ❤ /// {{Wondering what’s going on here?? Almost a year ago, I found myself on bad terms with the person in the mirror. So I made a commitment: every day for forty days, I’d take *one* photograph of my body that I could honestly see as […]

Almost a year ago, I found […]
July 20, 2015 My favorite way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon … curled up on the couch against the big bay window… dreaming… ❤ /// {{Wondering what’s going on here?? Almost a year ago, I found myself on bad terms with the person in the mirror. So I made a commitment: every day for […]

{In mid-July, my little contemplative photography collective was encouraged to play with shadows and to explore, in quiet and thoughtful ways, our Shadow Selves: the darker realms of the subconscious and the secret.} /// July 17, 2014 …When I think of my Shadow Self, I’m not sure that I think of a darker version of […]
