I have a daughter who is a heroin addict. This has been a source of much pain for me for a lot of my adult life. My child is so bright and even after heavy use of drugs for most of her adult life, her beauty is still apparent. She is one of those people [...]

Even New Directions Don’t Prevent Low Moments

September 28, 2010

Let’s face it (no pun intended or was that Freudian?), sometimes all you can do is put on a happy face and keep trudging along. Even with a positive attitude a la postivityratio.com, some weeks just give you a headache. I haven’t actively started marketing my website design because there are simply so many things [...]

September 24, 2010

The feeling is difficult to describe.  Let’s just say that it’s like stirring a bucket of paint where the tints have separated, watching as the original beautiful color is blended back together.

Step One in the Reinvention Process

August 4, 2010

When I began the year 2010, I vowed to allow myself to explore my true inclinations and to try to create a new work style that incorporates the things I love. The process has been a lot like stirring a pot of fudge. I have to monitor it closely or I lose track of what [...]

Learning Photography in Paradise

July 7, 2010

My ten day workshop on photography in Varenna, Italy, overlooking beautiful Lake Como, is about halfway complete. I’ve learned so much already and there is so much ahead of us.
