Her voice reminds me of a song. He is sometimes shy in front of a camera. They will be married in August.

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 friend, reminding me to hear when I see something whispering to me.

NACE professionals from the Baltimore and DC areas donated their time and artistry to create a beautiful fundraiser for Meals On Wheels. Over 250 guests attended Uncorked! Unplugged held at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.

If you visited the Amy Deputy Photography studio photo booth, your images are available for complimentary download until March 30. This is my studio’s way of saying thank you to the many people who join together to serve the community and have a very fun party.

Here are a a few of my faves from last night.

Enjoy!

“The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer.” ~ Gordon Parks

A very long time ago I was a photography student at Western Kentucky University. I met a teacher named Dave Labelle. This teacher taught me of compassion and composition. He taught me to tell stories about people. He challenged every notion I held about anything at all. He taught me to show in pictures what I heard in my heart. He endlessly irritated me with ruthlessly kind and honest critiques. He believed in me when I did not. He taught me of passion and gentleness, to honor love in all the faces of humanity. An image was nothing, no matter how tasty and flashy, until it touched this place of universal remembering, this place called heart.

I graduated. He moved. We lost touch. Fast forward…2o years later to a hotel lobby in Nashville. We met again.
