When on *set* I often need to remind myself to proceed with #caution . I've been known to put myself in some precarious situations.

Portraiture has #drifted quite a bit across history. Kehinde Wiley's vibrant take on Black masculinity is a vibrant contrast to traditional portraits. Wiley's unique style, seen in Obama's iconic portrait, ushers in a bold evolution (drift) in portrait art. #dailypicturetheme #drift #art

“All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.” – Frederico Fellini

This quote really makes you think, doesn't it?

I believe art is therapeutic cause it reveals the hidden stories of our soul - from irritation to inspiration.

#DailyPictureTheme

As a photographer, I've learned to #PACE myself, take my time and embrace the moment during photo sessions. It's important to capture my subject's inner-being as much as their outward-being.

Focusing on their expressions/body language helps me to bond w them emotionally.

For the sake of my mental health, I'm working on accepting that in life there will be sunshine-heat-rain. It's a normal part of the journey. I've had plenty of time - over 6 decades - to practice embracing this perspective. Can you relate?

Nothing like a father's #HUG . I say this as 1 without first-hand experience. But I'm blessed to know such love vicariously thru the love my daughters receive from my husband, their daddy. And the love my grands receive from their dad, my son-n-law. #DailyPictureTheme #BlackFathers 📷#PicturingArt

Know that feeling when you're out in nature - there's just something about it that soothes the soul. This couple gets it - blending in with its natural beauty. That's what biophilia is all about - our innate connection with the natural world.

Shadows stretch as daylight fades,
Mother, daughter, veiled in shades.

Footfalls fade on quiet ground,
Thoughts unspoken, yet profound.

The sun dips low, a fiery gleam,
Their bond exists, a wordless dream

At 64, I find myself in the prime time of life, and it’s not lost to me the incredible power of leaving behind a trail of tangible memories. I've learned that life is a masterpiece of moments, both big and small, and we *must* document them with care.

One of my fav short films on Vimeo is a mini docu of Ingrid Silva, Brazilian ballerina. This image on her IG took my breath away. She is so beautiful and graceful. I think you'll love this video too. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the video. Incredible focus! https://vimeo.com/18777211...
