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.

My inner silence deepens
And I am overcome with the sweetness of life
and its fragility”

“Beach Chair”

"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.”

My “I Dream of Galveston” images in Austin Gallery Show

This past Friday night, October 7, was the opening reception for The Gathering of Photographers juried show at Flatbed Press/O2 Gallery, a unique art space in Austin, Texas.

Pleased that four of my images from the series, “I Dream of Galveston” were chosen for the show, and looking forward to celebrating with the other photographers and seeing their work, I drove up for the evening from Houston.

What a nice surprise to find that my work had been selected for an “Honorable Mention” award – and playfully nicknamed by the jurors “Mighty Beach Series.”*

* They were fun, but don’t be fooled: they’re serious, and seriously accomplished:

Jurors included Pulitzer Prize winner Skeeter Hagler,  photojournalist Kevin Vandivier,  designer Kelley Toombs, and photographer/ Pulitzer Prize judge Gary Fong. (See summaries here)
A huge thank-you to all of my sponsors and supporters who helped me participate in this show – you know who you are – I appreciate you greatly!

The show will be hanging until November 4th. There’s a great diversity of images, themes, and photographers – Enjoy if you’re in the area –

All images from the show, 20″ x 24″ matted and framed, are also for sale – contact Flatbed Press Gallery or me for details…
