Party in Pink

In honor of so many of us who have been, are, and will be touched with Breast Cancer, today I decided to party with the rest of the Pink Survivors and celebrate their life, health and victory over their own battle with breast cancer. These photographs I took are for the Creative Cups for the Cause 2010 Calender. I can not begin to describe to you the joy and celebration that took place during these photo shoots. If you are in the local area, please join us for the Pink Ribbon Affair where the art bras and other items will be up for auction, to raise money for the Lee County Area Cancer Support Center in Giddings. and if you want a $15 calender, just email me. Today I honor each and every one of you in the calender who allowed me to photograph your beautiful body. I am also paying tribute to Cher, The Texas Woman my friend Marilynn aka "Dancing Moon", and Stacey Gaecke. Each and every one of you are heros in my heart. Carry on and kick cancer in the ass!!and come visit The Domestic Fringe for the party~ Save a breast...SELF TEST~

eye to eye

Nothing gives me more pleasure as a photographer than to capture the true, vulnerable, playful, honest and raw spirit of a human being. Oh those eyes, the portal to the soul. And I am honored when someone allows me to enter. Thank you. For you are the ones who allow me to express my own creativity behind the lens. "Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man." ~Edward Steichen~

10 mornings

As the Fall Antique Show closes today I look back to the past 10 days to a housefull of wonderful guests who we now call our "friends" just like our sign says! It's been 10 dozen eggs, 5 pounds of berries, bushels of veggies for breakfast Fritattas, 4 cannisters of homemade Granola, buckets of yogurt and honey, miles of coffee grounds, barrels of laundry detergent, 60 loads of laundry, late nights and early mornings, our porches and rockers have new stories to hold, and our hearts are always filled with new, precious memories. Thank you for making our life complete!
