Breathe

I’ve enjoyed a mellow spring, trying my best to squeeze as much enjoyment out of any free time I may have. A couple days ago, it normally would have seemed like the day was coming to a close, but there was still about half an hour before the sun dropped beneath the horizon. That was...

Femininity PT II

This post is inspired by my friend Robyn who gave me the courage to continue this conversation on femininity. If you read my previous post, I shared an image from a day when I was feeling kind of low about myself. Photography is therapeutic; for myself when I’m creating self portraits and often for whomever...

Everything else that occurred on the trip fell into place after this commitment. I’ve been wanting and waiting to...

Man Vs. Nature

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself. ~William Blake Share on...

Dogs of Kolkata

It seemed there were just as many, if not more, homeless dogs as there were people in the streets of Kolkata. My heart broke every time I walked by. The average dog has one request to all humankind. Love me. ~ Helen Exley Share on Facebook
