B+W Greens

I like bridges a lot!

On a photography field trip, I snap, zoom, focus my way around mounds of bright berries and shiny lemons. Perhaps I over saturate my mind's eye, because upon reviewing the photos, I find the light to be most pleasing through black and white leafy greens.

Room with a view; my Grandma V. and I looked out the window for birds. 

 And then I started looking back in, through the glass...

Fantasy Role Play

Today I hung out with a panda, a tiger, and a shark --- in that order.

 And no message could have been any clearer.

If you wanna make the world a better place,

Take a look at yourself, and then make a change.

What's a mistake anyway?

Here's a photo that would never have been taken intentionally, but thank lucky stars and accidents that the shutter closed at the 'wrong' time with the camera on the 'wrong' settings.

Unbridled sunlight.

Exorcise in light.

A friend of mine recently took a foundation photography course. We discussed many different photo ideas, then fell promptly to procrastinating. Finally, with deadlines looming, we sketched a story of a tired, hard working, blue collar soul just trying to make it through the day. 
oh wait, that's not a story, that's an autobiography.

I love and hate that this day was captured; it was a low one. (pre: 'long life revelation')






Overwhelmed by emotion, underwhelmed by life. Tired, tense, lost in sadness; I smoked a cigarette.

Thankfully, the photographer allowed me to assume my favorite role, which lies somewhere between muse and artistic director.




One perfect formula for mental and emotional relief is a combination of being outside, observing light and shadow, and helping someone achieve their artistic goals.

With increased focus and a renewed willingness to head back into the battles of life... With sun on head and feet in mud and shadow, let smiles slip through  puffy, tear weary eyes.
