The Inner Path of Photography

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

“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.

“The Future of Photography at MoMA? Aperture interviews Chéroux”

“There is not just one photography but several photographies that exist in different contexts and forms, from the vernacular to art, from New York to Mexico City to Lagos.

Our task is no longer about trying to define what is photography; it’s really about trying to share the most interesting photography in its different forms.”

Clément Chéroux, the new chief photography curator at the Museum of Modern Art, in his interview with Lesley A Martin, creative director of Aperture and publisher of The PhotoBook Review.

A very interesting interview.
Welcome, Clément. I can’t wait for my next visit to MoMa!

“Strong/Fragile”

Fragile

Beautiful

Strong to have made it to the beach.

A shell companion, quiet witness
Birds, ocean, sky

Now you may drop the struggle.
Allow your fragility

Rest. Rest. Rest.

*****

On this day of Winter Solstice, 2020, I honor your ability to always find the Light.
I send you love, inspiration, and comfort for the Soul.

Always Beauty.
