I tell stories using words and
images. Writing helps me bear witness to the memorable and often comical
events that make up my own journey.
As a writer I am restless and
pouty, never quite satisfied. Photography allows me to capture notable
moments that make up the stories of others--often the unexpected or
overlooked.
As a photographer I am peaceful
and curious, with the patience and playfulness of a chimpanzee (more
patient than humans I hear). One day, I hope my photographer will teach
my writer to chill.
When I am asked to exhibit my work, all the photos in the archives sit
on the bench, calling, “me, me, oh pick me.” But there are some classics
that are my favorites, some old and some new. I am grateful to Pauline
for the opportunity to share them with you.
I am an Oregon native, teacher, writer and nature lover/tree hugger.
