I want to fly
he said,

And so he did.

As we each can
In our own unique way.

I provide transformational experiences for those who desire the deep feeling of congruence with inner spirit, and joyfully want to live and create that truth in the outer world.

Using photography, contemplative practices, and psychotherapy perspectives,
I teach, coach, counsel, and inspire you to claim your life and your art.

Please join me,

“Sweet Caress”

hstraube2016_capecod_viewfromwindowfor sweetcaress-4466

Quelle que soit la durée de votre séjour sur cette petite planète,
et quoi qui’l vous advienne
le plus important c’est que vous puissiez – de temps en temps –
sentir la caresse exquise de la vie.

However long your stay on this small planet lasts
and whatever happens during it,
the most important thing is that – from time to time –
you feel life’s sweet caress.

Happy Mardi Gras! – A Video from the Past

A Visit to Shannon (Mardi Gras Time!)

I created this video in 2005 after visiting a friend in Louisiana at Mardi Gras time. Remembering it today, I thought I’d share with you to celebrate on this “Fat Tuesday.”

So special for me – to use photography to celebrate joy and love.

Laissez les bons temps roulez! Let the good times roll!
(Dance away, my friends…)

Lartigue Photos…In Color!

“For me, life and color are inseparable”
– Jacques Henri Lartigue

I have always thought of Jacques Henri Lartigue as a black-and-white photographer. The story of his picking up the camera at age seven, and proceeding to make images of his family and friends as they lived, played, and traveled together is charming – and his images seduce you with their exuberant, loving, artful beauty. Lartigue images always make me happy.

Today there is an article in the New Yorker magazine, announcing a new book to be released in February 2016, “Lartigue Photographs: In Color.” Color! A surprise to me. See the images – still beautiful, still uplifting – lovely pieces of art and soul.

Unknown to me, there was a full exhibition in Paris this past summer of 2015 of Lartigue’s color work. A May 31, 2015 article in Architectural Digest contains more about this exhibit, the photographer, and shares more of his wonderful images.

Wishing you the joyfulness of Lartigue photography
and the passion of a life in color.
