We have not yet met, but I know that once we do, our hearts will be joined forever. I’ve heard you’re very beautiful and full of that magic light that I chase. I dream of sitting in your cafes watching the world go by and walking your hilly, Montmartre streets with camera in hand. I [...]

I have a friend. I have a friend whom I treasure dearly, not only because she is amazingly talented; not only because she is beautiful inside and out; and not only because she has introduced me to a world of creative opportunities… I treasure her dearly because even though we have been friends for almost [...]

Hello, old friend. Remember me? You flirted with me at the top of the Spanish Steps and gave me a kiss at Fontana di Trevi. We held hands in sunny Tuscan fields and danced to O sole mio. I long for your poplars and olive trees. I miss your jolly, fat smiles and creamy gelato [...]

The pond is grand and glamorous with a touch of country charm. Swans glide about the water, while geese fly overhead. Ducklings waddle in and out. Fountains flow in fancy backyards. I can’t even imagine living here. ********* Have a lovely weekend. I plan on getting in some sunshine. Oh, yes.

Recently one reader asked how I shoot the things I do without getting funny looks. She wanted to know what my [...]

I’m dreaming of… peaches, plums and nectarines… low light filled evenings outdoors… pink and white peonies… afternoons spent under striped sun umbrellas… meanderings along sandy beaches… smelling and tasting backyard barbecues on summer’s eves… beads a dripping on ice cold drinks… the warmest hugs from the sun… celebration of light… exploring new places on road [...]
