Sharing my work
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” ~Edward Degas
We all ‘see’ differently. Take a few photographers on a mountain trail and even if we photograph the same thing, the images will be different. Here I share what I see.
Behind the scenes
Learning how other artists work is fascinating to me. Their individual process can offer validation or information. Creativity is a marvelous thing unique to each individual. I’ll take you behind the scenes of my own work and process in these posts.
Magnificent Men Project: Rob Salcido
As a photographer and writer, I am incredibly curious about aging. What does it mean to get older in America? How do we view the process and those that are ahead of us? What are the blessings and what are the challenges? And why can’t we see aging for what it is...
Wise Women Project: Michelle Pinkowski
Michelle and I met on a gray afternoon on the University of Colorado campus. We almost cancelled our outdoor session, thinking it might rain any minute, but I'm so glad we moved forward. Cloudy days often provide some of the best portraits. Gray day photos tend to be...

Wise Women Project: Karina Plocek
One of the things I love about photographing women in their favorite spaces is how relaxed and 'real' they are. Louisville's Karina was lovely before the pool and in her element in the water. She's a competitive masters swimmer who is constantly breaking her records...
Wise Women Project: Beth Malone
One of the most enjoyable things about the Wise Women project has been the opportunity to photograph women in their own homes, yards, galleries, studios and even swimming pools! This picture of Beth working in her kitchen was a favorite even though her garden was...
Wise Women Project: Val Szarek
Val is a talented poet and leather worker and when we met for our photoshoot, she was shy. She was shy until I suggested she just do her thing and she began performing her poems and then she forgot I was there. Which was just what I wanted! "Art in all her forms keeps...
Wise Women Project: Elizabeth Martinez
The first thing I noticed about Wise Women Project participant Elizabeth Martinez were her extraordinary blue eyes. A beautiful woman, inside and out. Elizabeth is a cancer survivor and in her interview she told me, "I have become bolder. Kind of like I may be gone...
