Classic Gold
In many aspects of my life I am a person who is prone to be overwhelmed. Because of this, I like an organized home and soothing neutral colors for decor. My wardrobe choices and hair style are based on comfort and ease and function. I think to myself—you might like the simplicity and classic style of black and white photographs. But whenever I take pictures, I am drawn to color and vibrancy and energy. My creative work is the one area of my life where I feel fearless, and most like my truest self. I don’t overthink things; I just shoot from the heart. In living color.
Ordinary Days
There is a long string of ordinary days. We drop off our car that has yet another nail in the tire for repair. We pick up the next to the last CSA box of the season and it’s loaded with gala apples. We look forward to our afternoon snack of an Outshine popsicle. I wonder if we will trade popsicles for pumpkin flavored hot chocolate as fall temperatures set in. We do a load of laundry. He cooks dinner. I do my exercises. The boys will call after work as they drive home to tell us all about their days. Life hums along. I find this all very soothing.
