issue :work of heart:

Hi there! I know, I've been a little MIA. I've been working SUPER hard on a project that I am SO proud of!

I put everything into this project & so did the crew! I can not wait to share (which will be in a few days)


Here is a photo of me "modeling" to test the lighting :) This is just a piece of the set we put together.

issue :i {heart} theatre

It's something like my first love. The stage, the set, the round of applause, the lights, the experience.... sigh. Theatre is something that I was involved in at a young age & even received a small scholarship for dramatic arts. Somehow along the way.... I gave it up.... but it still lives in my heart. If I had to choose again, I would make the same choice... PHOTOGRAPHY... but, I can't deny my first love...



I realize that I am so much happier when I put "theatre" into my images which is why I've been enjoying myself so much lately with my personal projects. Right now I am working on an AWESOME story for submission to a photo contest... one that if I win will open soooo many doors for me... So, I am putting everything into this... We're working on a set, story and a bunch of DRAMA!




That actually wasn't my point for this entry. I was listening to one of my FAVORITE songs "Return to Innocence" By Enigma and it reminded me of a production I was the main character in 97. Gave me all kinds of googly feelings... If you don't know this song, here are the lyrics:







That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself

The return to innocence


Love - Devotion

Feeling - Emotion

Love - Devotion

Feeling - Emotion



Don't be afraid to be weak

Don't be too proud to be strong

Just look into your heart my friend

That will be the return to yourself




The return to innocence

If you want, then start to laugh

If you must, then start to cry

Be yourself don't hide




Just believe in destiny


Don't care what people say


Just follow your own way


Don't give up and use the chance

To return to innocence



That's not the beginning of the end

That's the return to yourself

The return to innocence


Don't care what people say

Just follow your own way

Just follow your own way

Don't give up, don't give up

To return, to return to innocence.


If you want then laugh

If you must then cry

Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny.

:issue: change

A year ago, we voted for CHANGE... My family members, friends & I stood in the pouring rain to vote for our president BARACK OBAMA. We came together and watched his victory with our children as tears of joy & relief rolled down our cheeks.... This is how I remember it:
