Happy Birthday to Me…

“The day of your birth leads you to death as well as to life.” Michel de Montaigne

in honor of my birthday i thought i’d share some of what i’ve been working on lately. this has not been an easy one to digest. as a friend stated, “this one really makes me take notice”.

this summer my soul sister michele & her daughter came for a visit. we barely get to see each other anymore since they moved to arizona. yet as soon as we’re together it’s as if no time has lapsed. we’re right back. i’m sure you have those type of people in your life. it was the 1st time in awhile i felt so alive & connected creatively. shooting who i love is what inspires me the most. i 1st shot her when she was a newborn, she’s now 9.

“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” Rumi

here’s a couple of images i enjoy looking at. not sure where i’m going with these – or if anywhere. perhaps they are just what they are.

‘Life Among The Savages’ is just about ready to publish. for now here’s a few to peek at. they are visual metaphors, where i use nature as the object of inquiry.

and lastly, these are from ‘The Mother Series’.  i’m finishing up some loose ends and will share the whole series real soon.
