It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.

My day in photos
Nov. 1st, 2007 08:39 pm
I drove to Stanwood this morning for an all day workshop. The view was nice.
There were eagles. I saw 6 at one time!
And some bugs.
Then I went home, and ran around Seward Park. Which was chilly, but oh so lovely. This is why I hesitate to join a gym. No view like this in a gym!
Today I spent much of the day running around lookin
g for costume supplies (green duct tape is harder to find than you would think) a
nd going to the doctors office (so I could have needles jabbed into my foot...to which I say: ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow!).
But there was a very nice break in the middle when my friend Heather
and I made it out to the Sound Garden near Sandpoint. It was a bit weird getting there, as you 
had to check in at a security post and get some sort of clearance that required our IDs being taken away for 10 minutes, and then we were issued badges. A bit of
driving, and a hike down a slidey, leafy path...and we
found it.
It was lovely. The sounds were odd, random, and wonderful. The trees were all turning great fall colors. The water was near by and ripply. There were many tiny flowers and mushrooms. And we came across a skeletal bird foot. Though it was a bit of a pain getting in, and having to do so on a weekday during work hours, it was totally worth it. Highly recommended.

This has come to my attention a couple times this month, and I really enjoyed it. Someone created a camera you can hang on your cat's collar and get photos of their travels. I so want one!

photography of Jill Greenberg
Apr. 11th, 2007 11:12 pmWhen I saw reproductions of Greenberg's Monkey Portraits, I knew I had to check it out. And I just love them. I'm a big fan of portraiture, and these really capture the personalities and emotional states of their subjects in an amazing way.
But then, as I researched them for this blog (and my awesome new monkey icons) I saw she has also done a set called End Times of young children crying. Be sure to read the titles, they really add to the photos. Distressing, and amazing stuff.

photography of Nina Berman
Mar. 14th, 2007 11:41 pmI highly recommend checking out the photos of Nina Berman. She recently became a bit famous, for taking an award winning portrait of a Iraq vet and his wife on their wedding day. Salon has a good article about the picture. Her other photos are well worth looking at, too.
mystery photo
Jan. 7th, 2007 12:15 pmI got this article through an email subscription, and was really pleased by it. I like that people are thinking about and spectulating on this weird random photo.
Who is that mysterious, elegant man? And why is he sitting on a dead horse?
My favorite quote: "Who knows why somebody would take a picture of it?" she said. "People had weird senses of humor then just like they do now."
