  • Technology Commands Our Attention

    The juxtaposition of these two, both looking down at their respective technology, is what caught my attention. On the left: the photographer of the event. On the right: the event planner. Both are intently focused on the equipment in their hands, unaware of each other. The image begs the question: What commands my attention? We…

    There Must Be a Story

    Like I’ve said before, I’m a storyteller. The fact that I don’t always know the story, doesn’t negate that fact. Photographs tell a story – even when we don’t really know anything about the scene. For instance, I know this is a food truck rally, and the guy in the hat is considering his selection,…

    Oh how I love a good ghost story, and this one is better than good.

    The peacefulness of walking through a museum is difficult to describe. It is a powerful quiet that seems to overwhelm. While this wasn’t my first choice of stops in DC (the Museum of the Bible), it was a beautiful exhibit. The lighting and artifacts were gorgeous and obviously made for some great photos. The only…

    Caught

    Sometimes artists name their photos. I’m not one to do this each and every time – only if a title jumps out at me all at once. This one is entitled “Caught.” I had a great vantage point on a balcony in a local downtown area. I had been capturing photos across the way in…

    It’s All About Color

    Over Valentine’s Day weekend, my hubby planned an action packed photo-focused getaway, and the final stop of the excursion was the Tampa Bay Chocolate Festival! I mean, what gal doesn’t want chocolate on Valentine’s Day? And without a doubt the word of the day was COLOR! With so many food trucks and vendors to explore,…

    Perfection is Boring

    This photo is full of story. Everything about it screams look at me! This was my first Food Truck Rally I’ve had the opportunity to shoot, and while I did get some great shots, this one may be my favorite from the night. As a writer, I want to tell this gal’s story. Why did…

    Diary of a Bad Writer: Marginalia

    Have you ever picked up a book only to find – gasp – the pages littered with random scribblings! If marginalia is a pet peeve of yours, then please don’t ask to borrow one of my books – especially any from my lit classes. Even my Bible is written in. Yes, I am one of…

    #NationalDonorDay

    Serendipitous. That’s what I should name this shot. My hubby and I had planned for weeks to shoot the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa, and on Valentines Day we made it happen. While every other couple I know was enjoying a romantic dinner or a fun date night, my Valentine took me to both the…
