How to show up and write a blog post right now? How to catch up? How to make it worthy of this unprecedented time? How to say everything there is to say? I’ll start small. One thing I’ve been doing to get through this time is writing in my backyard–something I’d never done before the pandemic. […]

images as pathways in

October 17, 2018

From my journal, November 24, 2003: “Oh, and I’m reading Wintering, a novel of Sylvia Plath. Beautiful, poetic writing.

Back when I started this blog, I had no idea how much posting here would make me want to become a better photographer. I knew almost nothing about photography when my kids were small. I just took whatever point-and-shoot we had at the time and pointed and shot. We didn’t even have a digital camera […]

anything you wanna do

May 24, 2010

I’m of the belief that when your birthday rolls around, you should do whatever makes you happy. If you want full-fat yogurt with rhubarb for breakfast, then you should have it.
