2008 Portraits

I'm in Mexico for the next couple of weeks for a little r&r, I'm sure I'll have lots to share when I get back...

celebrate love

I think it's great there's a holiday to celebrate love... Have a fabulous Valentine's Day, tell those you care about how much you love them... Ray, I can't imagine my life without you, you are my hero... I adore you, and our life together... Adriana, you are my favorite person ever in the history of the world, in the words of my darling Cappers, you are the dog's dinner (yes, it turns out that is a good thing!)

Celebrate love this weekend... Celebrate your family...

Happy Valentine's Day...

Keira

a new baby, what a great way to start the year! Keira is so beautiful, she had this great, teeny tiny, smile, and was so expressive! It was as if she was telling a story in every photo, and every tale was so worth listening to...

What a beauty! So lovely to meet you, sweet Keira...

snowy days

It's so damp and snowy out there today, it just isn't very inspiring! I keep thinking of a workshop I participated in last night with a dear friend, and fantastic photographer, Carol Lundeen, on creativity... One of the things we tried was pretty crazy! We had to look at a painting upside down, and draw it, right side up, with our non-dominant hand (I'm right handed, so I used my left hand!). It's way harder than it sounds, well, to start off drawing with your 'wrong' hand is pretty tricky, but your brain really struggles to notice details and figure out where to put things and which way they should face, etc. A few people drew the picture upside down even though we were told to correct it! Our brains are quirky things! It's actually a great project for this, shall we say, less than banner day! I think I'm going to try it drawing one of my portraits, and see what happens!
