Greetings!

When I was six years old, my mother gave me a diary. I remember very distinctly that it was red with a little brass lock. This began my journey into recording the details of my everyday life. Writing has always been a love of mine and a necessary part of my self expression. While in school working towards my English degree, I had the opportunity to visit the John Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. To my great pleasure, the feature exhibits consisted of many great Masters of Photography. One of whom was the great Andre Kertesz. I immediately fell in love with his ability to form the perfect snapshot and felt something inside myself completely identify. It was upon reading a quote by Mr. Kertesz that I went home and promptly changed my major to Photography. The words were simply, "I write with light."

I'm a street shooter at heart, who people hire when they want honest and intelligent images documenting personal events. I dabble in portraiture. I run half marathons. And write, a lot.

I'm currently working on several personal projects. One of which is my first novel.

Now

Posted in Uncategorized

The theme for the month of June over at NaBloPoMo is NOW. Go ahead and check out the link. It’s a great way to get inspired about blogging or being creative in your particular endeavor.

Thinking of the word ‘Now’ and trying to implement that into my life. Just the other day I was talking with some friends about how sometimes we always say “change is coming” or “it will happen”. We were basing this conversation of the scripture “Hope deferred makes the heart sick” as found in Proverbs 13:12 in the christian Bible. At one point in my life I had been told that I was trapped within my own hope. I am a girl who believes in destiny and fate. I am always dreaming or believing in the possibility. Sometimes this has truly made my heart sick. Because waiting for anything can be so painful, if the waiting lasts too long. In recent years I have chosen to step out of the bondage of hope deferred and start believing in ‘now’. Today is the day. One of my favorite quotes, you’ll find it in my inspirations page link at the top, is from Rocky III. Rocky and Apollo Creed are training for an upcoming fight with Clubber Lang. Rocky’s coach Mickey has died though and he’s drowning in grief…he begins to give up. Apollo begins to scream:

Apollo: He’s hooking. He’s hooking. He’s hooking! Damn, Rock, Come on! What’s the matter with you?

Rocky: Tomorrow. Let’s do it tomorrow.

Apollo: [Screaming] There is no tomorrow! THERE IS NO TOMORROW! THERE IS NO TOMORROW!

Applying this to a grocery list, phone calls, that trip to Spain I want, or a casual moment on the porch with my girls and their dad…THERE IS NO TOMORROW!
