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

she packed her shiniest shoes...

...and escaped to the desert.

collaboration

this was a wonderful experience. i've been really inspired to fuse my desire to draw and paint using my photographs as an initial matrix. i was on my way and got stuck, needing some texture. i remembered my son's energetic drawing that i scanned earlier in the day for a different project, and wanted to see how i could use his illustration of "avatar, the last airbender" to add a little umph to my simple lines and blocks of color. i'm so envious of my son's sense of freedom and abandon. i'm totally inspired by his carefree yet passionate approach to visual expression.

bunny ears

a fun shoot for taboo hair salon, with the fabulous aaron, auriana, jen and of course, taboo's fearless leader, gill hodgson.

Earth Angel

I've been obsessing all day on a recent interview with Gary Numan on KCRW. I lost myself in the pixels while stuck in a Gary Numan inspired electronic/synth trance. Amazing how music can channel one's creative energy!
