Aloners

We can admit to the human frailty of occasional loneliness; it’s uncomfortable but tolerable. But aloneness is a backdrop that’s difficult to define and explain to others.  Some live for it; some die from it.

Photogenics

We all want photos that reflect how we’d like others to see us on the outside. So, we pose and take lots of selfies. I prefer to capture the honest moment when someone’s character pops out.

Smilers

Repressing a smile isn’t easy. We smile when we accomplish a feat, when photographed, when we watch a kid at play. As an habitual smiler, my camera is drawn to other smilers.

Drop-ins

We all have lifer-friends who shape us regularly.  But then there are those who drop in and out of our lives and who take up a special memorable space.  Here are just a few of my drop-ins who gave me a bit of clarity and a shot of confidence.  Who are your drop-ins?

Crowders

Don’t you love crowds when you’re singing aloud together at a concert or cheering on your home team. I do.  But I like to step back and look at crowds and spot that individual who stands out.

Bodies

Over my life, I used my body to carry around my mind.  Now I seem to be paying attention to how miraculously various body parts have held up over seven decades.  So, here is a page that celebrates the fortitude and peculiarities of body parts.
