Someone who I’ve never met recently reached out to me in an email to let me know they like my work, which was nice. That person also gave me a little kick in the pants about my lack of Monday (or any day for that matter) blog postings. It helps that I’m in sunny California this week and today I have the day all to myself to do whatever I want, so I’m inspired to get something out there, even if it is an ‘old’ image. I’m 34 yrs old and without any children yet and I’ve been thinking a lot about the recent post over on Alec Soth’s blog, Little Brown Mushroom called On being an artist and a mother - a conversation. I made this portrait with my Mamiya 7 II rangefinder (medium format film) camera while wandering around Miami in 2004. At the time I don’t think I really appreciated the fact that I didn’t have to answer to anyone or be anywhere in particular. This week, after reading that blog post and being surrounded by parents toting their kids around Disneyland, I’m going to head for the hills and savor every bit of my time that I have to just wander.

Some photos I made at the beautiful Altea Equestrian in Tewksbury, New Jersey. I was in awe of the horses and thoroughly entertained by the resident donkey, Billy Jean.

People and lifestyle shooter Carey Kirkella was a clear favorite among more than 30 reviewers who responded to our query about their favorite portfolios from ASMP NY’s commercial portfolio review in October. “I loved the honesty and natural quality of her people, especially the kids,” commented one art buyer. “Very consistent. Extremely marketable content,” noted a commercial rep.

Global Yodel posted a few images I made of some of the people in my favorite neighborhood in Brooklyn.
This is in Maine, the day after hurricane Irene. Does anyone else see a tyrannosaurus rex or is just me?

The notion of competition, the idea that there is someone out there like you only better, is not only untrue but keeps you outside yourself and focused on the standards of other people, and not on your own.
I need a break from the computer and the summer is almost over! I’m off to the pool.
