The Late Patrick Swayze

A lovely performance that I'd forgotten about.

Heartbreakingly beautiful

I've been a fan of photography since I was a small girl. I had a profound experience with an exhibit that put me on the artist's  path that I've wandered off and on for a number of years now.

Photography is something of a super power...it's God-like. It allows us to capture a moment of time and preserve it and show it to the world....you can actually show someone what you see...through your own eyes.
It's a way of telling a story without saying a word. Sometimes it can be paired with words to create a journey.

Classy...

Want to know what keeps me going despite clients who don't pay, insane hours, unrealistic expectations etc?




Days like today.



I've got the flu - it's nasty. I've had it since thursday and have worked on with it (it's what I do). One client in particular has required a lot of phone time - tight tight deadline which I met on a huge project. Evidently my work ethic impressed them. There was a knock on the door a little while ago - then even louder and more insistant because I wasn't moving fast enough to suit the delivery driver....



I opened the door with a bit of a snarl - looking like death wrapped in a blanket.



There was a box - cans of chicken soup, an assortment of teas (mostly English) a tin of homemade cookies an aroma therapy candle to aid in breathing and a get well card.





Yeah....there are days when it's pretty damned good to be me.
