Too many year were spent living and working. When I look back many things seem like a blur. Life was about doing...over time I grew, I learn, I changed. Life became less about doing and more about being. Today, simplicity is my motivation. Meditation and making a point to be present is the goal. It is in the quiet times when it is just me and my camera that I am truly able to disconnect from the never end to do lists and reconnect with what is truly important to me at this point in my life. Through the lenses of my camera I see a world that sometimes, in the busyness of a day it disappear into the background. The camera is like a magic door, it open itself wide and bring me back to the basic, to the important things in life. I breath easily when I hold my camera...it is my therapy, it is the window opened when the door closes, it is my way back to myself.
