About
Seeing as the camera sees
Photography is an adventure of discovery. The camera helps me see things I might otherwise ignore: the “other worlds” held in a droplet, reflections swirling above a waterfall, the excitement shown in the posture of children as ocean waves crash on their feet.
New Techniques
In 2022 I began exploring two techniques of shooting with a camera: 1) taking multiple exposures, moving the camera in between each and 2) moving the camera during a long exposure. Both of these methods create images that are more expressive than representational, and sometimes create abstracts, or a sense of motion, or even a compressed story.
I have published a book!
Out of Focus: A Caregiver’s Search for Clarity is a collection of thirty-nine pieces, each a page or less in length, that I wrote during the last eight years of my husband Tom’s life when he had Alzheimer's. Some of the pieces are prose, some are poetry, all fit in the genre of memoir. Each piece is paired with one of my photographs, chosen as metaphoric interpretations of the writing. Together these pieces tell the story of enduring love amid a changing relationship.
In this memoir I do not offer a prescription for getting through a difficult journey. Instead I hope these heartfelt pages may serve as a sympathetic companion for others who would help a loved one suffering from dementia.
Cost of the book: $35. Use the contact form if you wish to purchase the book; I will respond via email to make arrangements for payment and delivery.
Sharing my Work
I use many of my images to create hand-made books, sculptures, greeting cards and prints, which I sell through the Northfield Arts Guild. The first weekend of October I participate in the Studio ARTour. For more information about this annual event, checkout the Studio ARTour website.
