Spent a fabulous weekend with my fabulous husband who allowed me to do some fabulous editing work. In the photography phases of my life, subject matter may change like the weather but one thing remains constant; I am shooting or I am editing. To be editing provides the brain (right or left?) with much needed [...]

The New York City trips I have taken over the past five years consitute an extremely varied body of work. It was as if I could not be limited by subject matter or format, my eye exploring every avenue. I was fortunate to have 5 (or is it 6) trips from which to choose images.
The [...]

With the advent of digital, sharing photos has evolved from flipping through proof prints and looking at contact sheets to online galleries, web sites, emails, and simply reviewing the back of the camera and easily deleted. Going back to the archives of images captured on film is an interesting voyage; the beginnings of image [...]

For all of you Bonnarooers…a few images from the festival are now posted on my flickr page. And for those of you who didn’t, wouldn’t, can’t go…we’ll see you next year.
For myself, this was year number two to go in and see the music. And, boy!, did I get to see the music. We were [...]

Shelby Park Pedestrian Bridge, 2008
We set out on a bike ride early on Sunday morning. It was chilly. We rode down to the new greenway bridge under construction. They have blocked the path with alternate route signs, do not enter signs and a sturdy gate. As we sat at the locked gate [...]

We are not come to wage a strife
With swords upon this hill,
It is not wise to waste the life
Against a stubborn will.

Women as Photographers

I’ve been involved in numerous photography and arts groups from college with its student groups to professional organizations and informal gatherings. I always get so much out of coordinating with other visual artists; painters, sculptures, media and digital artists. I have a slight jealousy of the “additive arts”; being able to create something [...]
The Flag

Nothing except the cross of Christianity is more iconic than an American Flag. I’ve photographed both on numerous occasions. The cross can be difficult visually because of its basic composition and its religious overtones. The flag is more widely found and frequently puts itself into such interesting compositions and juxtapositions. It waves and dances, [...]

Our nation’s capitol. Visually stunning. Overwhelming with historical references. World renowned as the showcase of democracy. Lots of great restaurants, too. What I remember of my first visit; the fireworks, knowing without a doubt that I wanted to be a mounted policewoman when I grew up. I brought my actual [...]
