A Family Affair

I recognize that look on the little girl's face. Pissed, determined, ready for a fight. She obviously did not get something she really wanted. I also recognize the mom's expression. Frustration and worry with a tinge of pride. Ahh...those were the days, eh Mom? We probably walked down this very same sidewalk when I was that age and had a very similar interaction, more than once. Sorry for all the grief I caused for you. Glad we made it through that time whole.

Dog Day Afternoon

Chillin' in downtown Fort Collins with a 90 Shilling on Old Chicago's patio. Sometimes, dogs are must more cooperative than people.

Makes Me Want to Run

I did track back in my day. Long jump to be exact. I never really did like running that much but this squishy track makes it a little more inviting.

Short and sweet tonight. Working on taxes and it's just better if I don't go off on that topic.

Springtime! Yay!

Alas, it feels like Spring is finally here. This is my favorite season, a time of rebirth when the arrival of the light begins to awaken life all around us. The egg, with its gorgeous feminine curves, is a potent symbol for fertility and new beginnings. Ancient creation stories from many cultures tell that the earth itself was hatched from an egg.

While dyed eggs are a traditional part of the many springtime celebrations because they represent wishes for prosperity and abundance during the coming year, I chose to shoot in black and white again tonight. After shooting every single day for almost a year now (sick days excluded), I feel that my unique style is finally beginning to emerge. It's in the incubation stage and I want to cultivate it, like a baby chick that has just been hatched from the egg.

My love for black and white has always been here, but I am realizing that one of the qualities that makes it so appealing for me is that it is restful. The eyes can relax which in turn allows the being to relax.

Sending wishes for a prosperous and abundant year to you all!
