1000 cranes and counting

On 1/11/11 minutes before the stroke of midnight, I folded my 1000th crane! They are hanging in my studio and I'm planning on inviting people over for folding experiences. Being in the room with them is like being in a room with a new born child. There's a stillness and calm and excitement in the air and you can't take your eyes off of them. This time, I am not the one holding the child, they are holding me.

magic in the midst of madness

shopping amongst the chaos - i gravitated to this magical moment and it made my day

the fun zone

part of a commercial shoot i did recently.
i was photographing people all day and loving it, but i had a breather when i found this precious moment.

cranes on the go

i'm nearly finished folding my 1000 cranes, a project i began in september
they come with me everywhere i go
they were especially fun to photograph in joshua tree
the wind, light, water and shadows brought them to life in a way i couldn't have imagined
