GIVING
I recently had a great email “conversation” today with my friend. I was struggling with some changes and she relayed to me a great passage she had recently read:
Sit in the sun and warm up. Sit in the sun. soak up the love and warmth from the world around you. take that warmth into your everyday life. open your heart more to the people you see, the people you meet, the people...

It's been awhile..
I’ve been away. 2010 came and went. It was busy. It was good, busy, hard, sad, filled with transitions, changes and ultimately a year of learning. I’m back and I have a lot to say.

On my birthday every year both my mom and grandmother would tell me this story. Some years it would make me cringe with annoyance and other years I would embrace it for the pure fact that it was a big event in their lives.
When I say my grandma was so different than most grandmas out there - I truly do mean it. All grandparents are different. My dad’s parents were completely different...
chances are..
I actually don’t have anything to say.. Believe it or not. Perhaps it’s the all night drinking and bowling adventure I found myself on last night. Perhaps it’s because it was such a beautiful day. All of my troubles sort of floated away while spending the day at the beach. Perhaps it’s because I wish more than anything I could be home with my family while my Grandma is...

Not sure what images will make the final cut. I totally dig this image below. It’s a work in process. There’s a lot of burning I need to do to have the smoke show up. The window needs to be darkened as well.
My teacher asked me if I could push it to yet another level. I think I can. I really like the exaggeration and extreme drama that is played out in my images. The irony is -...

I like how I’m consistently surprised by people. Last semester I tried to gather up a group of people to participate in my portrait project. It fell apart pretty quickly. I honestly don’t think I pushed enough. Knowing that many are uncomfortable with the camera, I let it go.
Last week I emailed a group of awesome gals. I mentioned the focus of my photo project this semester....
cynicism
“All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.” ~ Conan O’Brien
What truly is the product of working hard and being...

I love that polaroids have come back. This site makes me want to spend all my time experimenting with polaroids.

project
Before the Fall semester started, I had a plan for my photo project. I had it all lined out. I was going to “use” my friends….and take their portraits - and I was going to insist that they give me a top 10 about themselves. As the semester started and I received very little response to my emails, I realized that it wasn’t going to happen. The resistance, although...
