I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am to be a part of the 2015 VOICE Collection.
My self portrait {The Wind} was chosen out of over 18,000 entries.
I see so many familiar faces and images in this collection of 220 images. To say I feel proud and honored to be a part of this photography community would be an understatement.
This collection will be printed and mounted for display during Click Away in San Antonio from
October 8th - 10th 2015.

Juror Kate Breakey chose this image
out of almost 800 to be in
A Smith Gallery's
{Still} Exhibition
August 14 - September 27th.
I wish I could be there. If you can't make it either then here is a
to see the rest of the exhibit. Just be sure to click the image to get to the next one.
I'm so grateful to be a part of this.
I sometimes wonder what was a dream and what was real. Or did my mind take pieces of both and mesh them together to make a whole other truth? Sometimes I can feel a dream more than a memory...
I'm starting off the circle at L{U} this month, but after me I do hope you'll head over to
Elise Meader's website . Elise is a beautiful person inside and out,
and it shines through with her {Unscripted} photography.
She also is one of the newest In Beauty & Chaos Pros!

Life can be loud sometimes.
Really loud.
Sometimes I need to quiet it down.
Often I look for ways to
quiet the {Loud}.

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
― C.G. Jung
The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean-tide, on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not....
~Thomas Carlyle
The clock talked loud. I threw it away, it scared me what it talked.
~Tillie Olsen, Tell Me a Riddle
“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”
― Rose Kennedy
Perfumes are the feelings of flowers, and as the human heart, imagining itself alone and unwatched, feels most deeply in the night-time, so seems it as if the flowers, in musing modesty, await the mantling eventide ere they give themselves up wholly to feeling, and breathe forth their sweetest odours. Flow forth, ye perfumes of my heart, and seek beyond these mountains the dear one of my dreams! ~Heinrich Heine, "The Hartz Journey" (1824)
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher
“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair”
― Kahlil Gibran
