About Me

My photo
lucky girl back from 8 1/2 years living in asia with my husband and three children, happily delighting in the visual treats offered me. I shoot film with a Nikon F4 (on longterm loan) and reliably for many years with an old Nikon N65 held together with rubber bands. Freshman year of college I finally got contact lenses. I was awed by how clear the stars looked during an astronomy lab. I have always been visual, but the ability to bring things into focus is such a delight. And when I capture that clarity on film I am so satisfied. It might be a piece or segment of something, the juxtaposition of textures or colors, or the atmosphere in a place that attracts me... but light is my obsession. I find film lends itself to revealing a real, complex, sometimes slightly flawed nature of things. I appreciate the depth and tangibility of film. I am back from Hong Kong where I was constantly exposed to an abundance of visual gifts; now delighting anew in the offerings of New England, New York or wherever I find myself noticing. ... see more on my flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/film-fineartphotography/ and instagram: @threads.ofdistraction and @lbl_rkl

lovely laundry












laundry:  usually dreaded; often romanticised outside sunny farmhouses; but truly lovely in cityscapes.  bright and white, all lined up, soft and fluttery, colorful and contrasting to its backdrop of cement, steel and glass and so much gray - in a city.

doorways

















colored, shadowed, adorned, hiding, revealing, inviting, locked, open ... doors

reflecting on ...












... glass, windows, water, mirrors, ... exciting transformations of the ordinary
