Field of donkeys

“Mostly people just wanted me to listen to their story.” ~ Bonnie Berry
She called me from Love’s truck stop. We wound up in a retired postal worker’s field of donkeys. And that’s what happened on an afternoon in Texas.

Heading to elsewhere

I saw a place from the corner of my eye. I was heading to elsewhere, late. After elsewhere I found it again, tucked along a lonesome frontage road. Late again to the next elsewhere, I heard the debate of my familiar internal committee members. I ignored them. I listened instead to the words of my...

Snow

Last snowflakes melted this weekend. Time has moved to spring. I remember one snowy day, stabbing cold fingers, music accompanying my photo delight, couchy snowdrifts and tiny cling on ice balls in dog fur.
I played with how I see.
Do I focus on the flakes and watch each in sharp relief?...

Kendall ~ a portrait

Shadow and Grace ~ a slideshow

I am feeling particularly nostalgic this evening…
Maybe it’s the snow and the soft cloudy days nestling me…
Maybe it’s my delayed reaction to a new year, a chance to trace my time and reorient my compass…
Maybe I’m savoring a sense of completion…
Maybe and most likely, I’m simply grateful.
I hear my husband and my son bantering...

A Field

“We see things as we are.”
~Anaïs Nin
I wrote about the Foundation Workshop a year ago when I attended as a team leader. Heading to Dallas is somewhat of a yearly pilgrimage. Tomorrow I head back to Texas and meet a new team of photographers.
The five day photography immersion experience started by Huy Nguyen, former Dallas...
