Smilers

Repressing a smile isn’t easy.  (Skim this page and try it.) We turn on a smile when photographed, when we accomplish a feat, when our job is rewarding, when we experience an event. As an habitual smiler, I and my camera are drawn to other smilers, including non-humans.

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.

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.

Aloners

Aloneness is  something lodged between the mind and the soul that evolves and grows. You can admit to the human frailty of occasional loneliness. But aloneness is a backdrop that’s difficult to define and explain.  Some live for it; some won’t.
