As we were driving along the old road through Peguche, Ecuador, we passed through a cute little neighborhood of houses and cottages alongside a huge expanse of corn and looming mountains ahead. I snapped a picture out the window of what looked like a façade, I think. It looked like a house at first but…
So often we think we are better off by ourselves. It’s simpler, right? And so much less messy. But it’s dangerous and the truth is we are wired for community. For interdependence. For connection. We are made for each other, as friends, family, colleagues, buddies, whatever- Just together. “Two are better than one, because if…
Happy New Year! Here’s a fabulous way to celebrate your year- and remember the fun! (this could be a fun New Year Resolution, even!) So anyone who knows me, or has been anywhere with me knows that I’m the queen of “Selfies with Friends”. I just love capturing the fun of being with friends AND…
“When the work is done, then you can play”. -DAD I heard it so many times growing up- and I got really good at being a hard worker because of my Dad’s influence and mindset. (which I seem to have adopted for myself). But guess what? The WORK IS NEVER DONE!!! As soon as we…

Ok, so yesterday I wrote a bit on decorating and how such a simple thing can truly make a difference in how we feel about the holidays. Well, we did our small thing, and it was fine, but there are people who take it way too seriously, right? OMG…. Oh yeah, my dad would have…
It was the most memorable stop on the whole tour through New Mexico with the ASP (American Society of Photographers) group, and impacted me way more than I would have ever expected. I had heard of Georgia O’Keefe and seen her artwork, which was pretty amazing, but didn’t know that much about her life or…
It was a slightly foggy morning, but it looked like the sun was about to pop out, so I grabbed my camera and boots and headed out to see what I could find. What a Score! We arrived at the BeachComber Inn in Fort Bragg, CA just about nightfall, so it was too late to…
Wide Open Walls in Boulevard Park One of my ongoing personal photo projects is #CelebrateMyCity, where I highlight areas and scenes in my home city that I personally like.
