Gallery A Sense of Place: Pittsburgh
During a one-week visit, I attempt to capture the spirit of the Pennsylvania city I lived in for 2 1/2 years (since I was too distracted to photograph it at the time).
Imagine an evening of drinking. Imagine, four times in that evening, closing your eyes and then reopening them, aware of how much more altered the world looks each time. This experimental collection captures that staggered degredation in clarity.  Figurative and Literal: Easter Lilies
This exploration reveals an uncommon realm springing forth from the Easter Lily that is, at times, clearly defined and open to interpretation at others.  An Abbreviated Road Trip: Southern Louisiana
In October of 2007, my husband and I went to New Orleans to work with Habitat for Humanity. In addition to that rewarding experience, I also took home many photos of the area, as well as Lafayette, Baton Rouge and the places between. I can’t claim that is collection is representative of the area in its entirety, but it’s certainly gives you a feel for Louisiana.  By the Light of Day: Lafayette Cemetery No. 1
Despite the cliché of New Orleans cemetery photos, I enjoyed taking these, and I think they are worth seeing. The history enclosed in this place, which has been in continuous use since it opened in 1833, is evident. I don’t know what the disrepair speaks to but it certainly adds a sense of melancholy that, even in bright daylight, is pervasive. Flowers
Flowers are my favorite subject, even if they are common. I find endless beauty in them, and if I can get just one person to slow down and take pleasure in the details around them, I feel I have accomplished something.
 Landscapes
When I say 'landscapes,' I mean not only untarnished scenic views, but also those instances when the land has fused with what man has left behind. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I often find the dilapidated to be just as beautiful - I suppose it seems natural to me, seeing so many simliar scenes in rural South Carolina.  Urban
Growing up in a rural area, it was always a treat go to to 'town.' Now, after living in a few cities, I am no less excited by the visual treats urban areas have to offer, especially when cities are vigilant about historic preservation. Animals
From captive to wild to domesticated, animals are just fun to photograph. Miscellaneous
I take photos of anything that appeals to me at the moment, and I mean anything. |
