About

(Clearly … I’m wordy)

Photography

I’ve not so secretly anymore,  since I’m writing about it, always felt like I don’t know who takes good pictures for me, and worry, “will this happen again?”, but I’ve learned I am a “channel” for something much bigger, we’re all a part of, with the biggest lens and love of all. There is a see’er that loves seeing through me. It’s taken alot of courage for me to trust in it. This see-er wishes to reveal everyone’s inherent truth and beauty, perfection, and want’s to remind them of how much they are loved. I feel my only job is to show up, and this is what I do now. I do my best to allow the truth and beauty you are.

I treat photography sacredly and enter into it with prayer prior to arriving. If you are a spiritual person, or inclined to invite a “higher power” into our photography experience, I love playing in these realms, and always welcome a shared and open connection to all that longs to be made known.

This is how I take photo’s, I allow what wishes to be. I feel like it’s an adventure and experience. It’s something I wish for others to enter into with trust. The experience of letting what wishes to be made known to be. It’s kind of fun to see what wishes to be. It’s always something.

Writing

I have been writing since I've been young. The wisdom that had come through me was always there it seemed when I had a pen. Compassion, and understanding and clarity - despite SO much inner turmoil I couldn't make sense of through out my life. When I wrote, even though earthly matters didn't exactly get resolved, I was given insight or an ability to soften or grow through them, or let go, see things differently. Often the writing was prayers, because I could feel what I needed in words.

It's not all about the words, but more so what they give life too. The "moments between" them that are our life, and perhaps that's when my words turn into photo's. The something that see's through me see's in words and photo's. For so long I've judged them, and been afraid of not knowing where or who I am within them, but still, it is "what is" within me, something that wants to flow through words. So after 2 decades of boxed notebooks (most of which have been recycled) I've decided they are mine to free and not to judge.

My writing wants to help people be free, in fullness, and flow, in relationship to life as it longs to be lived through them. Writing (I always forget this) is largely how I make sense of the world. Literally my mind feel's thoughts like a blind man's white cane. The words make a path, and I understand a bit more, hang on a bit less. I do have the feeling I am creating an important path.

I hope you'll walk with me, that these words that flow, that have some "know" (I was told to write that - sometimes it's really clear this is not me at all) that they want to help us expand … gently, lovingly, compassionately, sustainably, permanently.

I hope you'll join me.
