the last 4 years have been a huge flip of everything i’d known and everything i thought would be in my future. having my mother pass away is of course the largest catalyst in knocking my off my feet … a man i thought would be in my life forever, picked up and left, and a job that i loved turned toxic ….
i’ve reached way inside myself with the help of some amazing friends .. i’m still overwhelmed at times but … mom, your with me always, still talk to you often and try to make you proud; james i truly hope you learn to look within yourself for your happiness; and i’ve ended up in a great, positive, appreciative environment where the impact is a whole lot bigger than my little piece of the world.
why did i end up in houston … i came here following my heart, and my gut … things don’t always turn out the way you think, but maybe the way they need to be … this i believe is true.
my wonderful creatures … i took them in to rescue them, they helped rescue me.
And maybe you were thinkin’
That you thought you knew me well
But, no one ever knows the heart of anyone else
I feel like Garbo in this late night grande hotel

The infamous houston grackles … on the galleria area street markers …. they find their own kind .. again and again … reflecting then flying off only to reflect again
Sometimes we need to be reminded of why we have high standards, big dreams, and motivation ……
Dad .. approx 1941 Lubbock, Texas. He was captain of the football team and for a day or two sheriff at Texas Tech. Miss you dad, but thank you for setting such a wonderful example.
They say you attract what you put out there… that idea causes way too much navel gazing…. come find me mr. darcy, col. brandon …. damn you jane austen.
This photo was taken in Baltimore and the College of Art. Beautiful old building. I was there for a printmaking conference, the whole trip was one of the strangest experiences I’ve ever had … but that’s another story.
IM conversations, what crap …. ended a talk tonight disappointed, frustrated, angry … i don’t want to feel those feelings, on any regular basis. So on to look at something to lift me away from that…..
For today’s post i dug into the archives … film archives … for a shot i took on a trip to spain with my mom and my sister. Mom, tonight you were perched on my shoulder, whispering in my ear. thank you. These spaces made you just realize there is something bigger than yourself. Sometimes I need to remind myself to breathe, relax, enjoy the beauty and remember my needs.
I’m going to mainly posting photos i’ve taken that mean something to me or that i thought ended up somehow successful. Most importantly something that has some heart, some soul. Pictures can speak a thousand words, after all, i’m a designer, not a writer.
Dot’s — being a designer i’m a sucker for signs and for lettering … drive by these guys all the time … this is i think the first and only time i had this shot composed in my head long before i ever attempted the shot. Beginners luck, it worked.
