Jumping In...

Well, well, here she is...the new site.  I spent many hours culling through the thousands of images I have captured over the years and learned a great deal about myself as an artist.  What struck me the most is how truly lucky I am to have worked with so many incredible humans.  I mean, for REAL - all of you and all of your stories and all of your lives and all of your emotion and all of your creativity, you make me jump out of bed every morning excited to create!  Annie Leibovitz states in her biography, "A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people."   Preach, Annie!!  Thank you all for allowing me to fall in love over and over again every single day!

To blog or not to blog, that has been a personal struggle of mine for...well, since the whole blog craze came about.  I am not one for words; I tell stories through pictures.  I understand the importance of a blog but I always felt it looming over me and instead of dealing with it I just rebelled and let my Facebook Fan Page take its place.  Well, my loves, the times...they are a changin'.  I will be attempting to make this the home of my new work and my thoughts - let's be honest, mostly my new work.  I am excited to take this leap and hope you will enjoy the ride with me.
