The Inner Path of Photography

We yearn for the taste of the sacred…and through our cameras discover it, the world, and ourselves.

“‘I Dream’ is leaving – Dream one more time with me”

“Grace”

This Sunday, February 26, is the last day to experience (and/or bring the dream to your home) my two framed pieces currently at the Vermont Center for Photography in Brattleboro.
Thank you to all who’ve sent me personal notes after enjoying these
and the other beautiful work of VCP members.


“Umbrella” and Beachchair” from the collection I Dream of Galveston”
and exhibition location are below.

In the meantime, I invite you to continue the dream with me…

Galveston in Fog

Like an affair with a long-time lover
I return…Over and over
No matter the weather

Seduced.

My beach chair the Zen mat.

Solace…inspiration
inner silence
Finally…reconnection with Soul.

And there are others there
all of us living our dream, side by side


(Nods of recognition
quiet smiles, a wave hello)

The fog discourages no one.

In fact it makes us happy
This secret shared

The last rose of sunset dies.
Blessings. Grace. The Beloved.

and its fragility”

"Beach Chair" from Heidi Straube "I Dream of Galveston Collection" now at the Vermont Center for Photography.

“In this little memory book set seaside in Galveston, Texas,
Heidi Straube has captured the peacefulness, fragile beauty, and silent grace
of true beach lovers.

The stillness of her photos, many shot in the fog,
remind us of the quiet places we can go to within,
no matter what our outer circumstances.”

“Honor Your Heart”

“Unexpected”

The cookies are gone, espresso savored
Warm feelings from an evening with friends

Playful posting of photos, just taking a break, and then

Tender memories of a passionate time.

A different photo.

A man who could capture
layers of emotion through a simple cup and saucer.

Images and coffee
Friendship and love

A rich life.

Hello, Kindred Spirits,

Honor Your Heart.

If you are feeling sadness about things in the past today,
and also have great hope and love for the future,
I’m with you. 

Life is precious, amazing, exhausting, disappointing…
and a Miracle. 

Tomorrow we’ll step forward into a new year.
Today I welcome you to create your dreams,
and to also honor your losses. 

My heart is with you.

For You: “This is a Wonderful Day”     

I posted “This is a Wonderful Day” and its image of Spring beauty in May of 2020, when we were still in co-vid semi-lock-down in Hudson, NY – my temporary home where I found myself by good fortune and the generosity of friends. The feelings and essence of this writing continue.      

May you feel the love and inspiration I wish for you.
