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

the year of the dragon


the lunar new year
     another chance at a new beginning in the chinese calendar.   the year of the dragon:
a celebration, a challenge, something exotic, an obstacle, an icon ...
my "dragons" for this year are: to celebrate myself as an artist and be confident in the eye i have for capturing something beautiful and intriguing;


to challenge myself to master a new aspect of photography, and to break some of my own rules; (also to triumph in the rules i've bent or created that i think work!) 
 


 to overcome my fear of self promotion (ugh!);


 



   to delight in the people i've met - and keep encountering - as inspirations, muses, supporters and teachers;








to be open to new ideas and subjects (tho there's not much i'm not drawn to)

                                                                             what are your dragons?


                                                                             kung hei fat choi!

happy new year's resolutions! (or words to live by)

                                                             kindness is contagious


                                                    life comes from you, not at you
                                                (my mantra, imparted from a favorite yoga teacher early last year)    

                                           look at all the life and love coming from each of these faces
                                       

     kindness is contagious; such a nice thing to spread this year
