Flower anatomy is as beautiful and raw as creating photos of nudes, both can be voluptuously simple. I adore taking and finding what nature has given us in the beginning stages or the end cycle. Beauty in each moment.

Among my few obsessions, is the poet Sonia Sanchez. The only way I know to explain my love of portraits, is through Sanchez's Haiku poem.

This sweet mechanic catered to my need to experiment with one of my 1st rolls of shooting film. Out of the 5 exposures, this is the one and only that has surfaced and found it's way back to me over countless moves.

Papa oh papa a 2nd papa to me, He so lovingly let me make photographs in his house on the last day before giving the keys over to a young couple. He sat on the carpeted stairs with his guitar and played the model and me a song.

I am out walking with a family making photos. Their young boys stop by the skate park. The older skateboarder stops and takes a few moments to engage the young ones. He shows them a few tricks and a couple of hand gestures. This is called great role modeling. Thank you to the unnamed skateboarder who took his time and spent it engaging these two curious action filled boys.
Tender hands of strength, she bore four children and is followed by 10 grandchildren so far and one great grandchild. She is the epitemy of a life well lived.
To be commissioned, to create with other artist brings light to my spirit. I thrive in the challenges that cross my path.
