Is it weird that I’ve been taking pictures for over 30 years and I’m right back where I started?
I’ve veered all over the place. Not just off the path but into ditches and ruts. I made wrong turns and u-turns. I backed up, started over, jumped lanes, swerved and at times came to a complete stop. And I guess all of that was necessary. Because I find myself in the happiest of places these days, where the pictures call out to me, and my greatest joy is placing what I love in the frame.
In my current works I find the love of simple things I knew as a young girl. I have reconnected with my own kind heart and beginner’s mindset and whatever I make seems okay. The process of photography fills my days and restores my spirit.
