My Talisman

- As a little girl growing up in Ohio, I spent my time outdoors as much as possible playing with Nature. I’ve always been captivated by the textures, nuances and palette of colors found around us. I’m intrigued by the details observed in a crackled leaf, a pink petal, a frosty spider web, or a billowy cloud found in our back yards, gardens, the skies or wherever we may journey. Life is fast-paced. We often walk right past these gifts, unaware of the wonderment they offer to our sense, to our souls. Photography allows me to stop time, to freeze a moment...and to hold these gifts forever…thus creating a permanent feast for the eyes and spirit. Challenging myself with my camera forces me to go for a shot that might be considered unobtainable. The word ‘can’t’ doesn’t enter into my self-talk. Instead, I say “Let me see what I can get!” and I go for it. If I want to take a close, tight picture, I do it, without the benefit of a macro lens. My philosophy is that nothing is wasted and everything is gained in the pursuit of that perfect shot that permanently expresses what my soul is feeling. There are no ‘bad pictures’….merely ‘learning experiences’. I am fearless with my camera.

Oh the sight of that admission card, it looks very familiar. My dear friend I sit tonight and read your thoughts. I decided myself that Seattle is calling for me in ways I don't think I understood just two weeks ago. My desire to go is forceful and the thought of staying actually makes me scared. I relate to you in the sense that emotions can change. Just a couple of days ago, I made myself believe that staying would be alright. If I could give you a gift, it would be the excitement I have in wanting something different. I know it is in you C, you just have to look for it and believe. The fun it will be to find that perfect color of paint for the new wall, or the new flowers you will plant in the backyard. The world is just full of possabilities. I know you have to grieve, but do know that the best is yet to come and I will be there for you!!
