{Fears}
I just recently completed Carolyn Mara Borlenghi's The Unapologetic Artist class at The DEFINE School. It was amazing.
Below you will find my project on {Fears} that I created during the course of the class.
Fears. They forebode an uncontrollable feeling of danger and threat whether it be true or not to so many. This project has given me an opportunity to express and work through many of my everyday fears. The fear each image represents was present during the process of each self portrait taken in this series. I feel my art is very deep and personal to me. I find myself drawn to the darker side in photography. Through the use of deep shadows and light in my black and white images I aim to convey a variety of emotions. We all have fears. I believe by viewing and connecting with the fears of others one can begin to face the fears deep within themselves.

“The psyches and souls of women also have their own cycles and seasons of doing and solitude, running and staying, being involved and being removed, questing and resting, creating and incubating, being of the world and returning to the soul-place.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you, and that you will work with these stories... water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Life {Unscripted} Vol. 13
We are celebrating our 1 year anniversary this month at L{U}.
This group of photographers have become so much more than that to me.
I'm truly lucky to be a part of such an amazing group of
artists, and friends.
This month we are taking a favorite {Unscripted} image from each month over the last year.
Please, if you have the time take a moment to continue through our circle.
Ann Marie is up next from One 33 Photography. You'll really enjoy her favorite 12!
Life {Unscripted} Vol.12
Volume 12 of Life {Unscripted} is here just in time for me to share
some of my trip to Tennessee to visit family.
Here's a small sample of the many images I took a couple of weeks ago.
I miss everyone already.
Crystal Raynard Photography is up next and she
has such a way with capturing {Unscripted} moments.
I do hope you'll check her out!
BW Child Photo Competition 2015
I loved finding out that my double exposure image, {Eyes}, of my daughter Linhsey was nominated in the first half of the 2015 BW Child Photo Competition in the Conceptual and Photo Manipulation Category.
I see so many others whom I admire and respect that have made it into this competition, and I couldn't be happier for them. I think we all have an understanding of what goes into this craft.
It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions,
but I wouldn't want it any other way.
They are accepting entries for the second half of the competition now.
Go enter!
VOICE Collection 2015
I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am to be a part of the 2015 VOICE Collection.
My self portrait {The Wind} was chosen out of over 18,000 entries.
I see so many familiar faces and images in this collection of 220 images. To say I feel proud and honored to be a part of this photography community would be an understatement.
This collection will be printed and mounted for display during Click Away in San Antonio from
October 8th - 10th 2015.
A Smith Gallery {Still} Exhibition
{Scented Heart}
Juror Kate Breakey chose this image

I wish I could be there. If you can't make it either then here is a
to see the rest of the exhibit. Just be sure to click the image to get to the next one.
I'm so grateful to be a part of this.
Self Portrait Project
I sometimes wonder what was a dream and what was real. Or did my mind take pieces of both and mesh them together to make a whole other truth? Sometimes I can feel a dream more than a memory...
Life {Unscripted} Vol. 11
I'm starting off the circle at L{U} this month, but after me I do hope you'll head over to
Elise Meader's website . Elise is a beautiful person inside and out,
and it shines through with her {Unscripted} photography.
She also is one of the newest In Beauty & Chaos Pros!
Taken with my Canon 5D Mark II with Outex underwater housing.
She is such a fish.

Life can be loud sometimes.
Really loud.
Sometimes I need to quiet it down.
Often I look for ways to
quiet the {Loud}.

Running Out {Self Portrait Project}
The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean-tide, on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not....
~Thomas Carlyle
The clock talked loud. I threw it away, it scared me what it talked.
~Tillie Olsen, Tell Me a Riddle
“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”
― Rose Kennedy
The Greenhouse & Gardens
Perfumes are the feelings of flowers, and as the human heart, imagining itself alone and unwatched, feels most deeply in the night-time, so seems it as if the flowers, in musing modesty, await the mantling eventide ere they give themselves up wholly to feeling, and breathe forth their sweetest odours. Flow forth, ye perfumes of my heart, and seek beyond these mountains the dear one of my dreams! ~Heinrich Heine, "The Hartz Journey" (1824)
