Dreams and Insomnia....

For a woman who rarely Enters the bed before 2am +, I certainly do allot of dreaming .

Capturing the dreams is not an easy task but they do serve as an inspirational platform .

I dreamt one night a few weeks ago ,I went to stay in a Hotel ,the suite had a Golden Buddha, silk sheets , a patchwork type silky duvet, a burnished wall treatment of pewter, rich dark furnishings, there was art on the walls ,I can't recall what but it was so different than my space it was darker , enclosed and I felt it was so intimate.I know my home is a very intimate space but this was different.I have no Idea where this stuff comes from exactly so vivid too but I do know that I wish I could take pictures of this place. It felt so warm and safe, and the bathroom was this tiny but luxuriously decorated shower room with the most decadent smelling shampoo.... In my dream I took a shower washed my hair and then I awoke .

what is the meaning of this dream ??? It is beyond me maybe just exploring new places and things.

Although I can not take pictures of this place I have been thinking of painting it abstractly. I have not painted in a while maybe it is time .....

Naughty Me......

I have got the shopping bug right now , although I have a Christmas list to follow well actually several SHA - GRINN.

(not like Grinch just a self control compass)

My wicked girlish shopping self has been rearing it's naughtiness lately. That gave me an Idea for a photo essay..... I will have to capture some bits and pieces ,frivolousness if you will ...... I think I will call it what girls want ......

To be continued........

Humanity,Humbleness, Helping ......

In sharp contrast to the above I would like to mention that these frivolous moments are rare for me. After being on this earth 35 years a little fun will go a long way . I am happy to have the blessings I do .I have had very little and plenty at different times in my life . I know hunger,needing but not starvation,desperation and we should all be as helpful and conscious as possible to those in need. Spare them some dignity help people help themselves and I always , always share food ,above all else you will never starve if you give someone half a sandwich and you will not be cold if you spare a few items from your winter closet....... you will both have some. The feeling in your heart will far out way any sense of loss over any said item or extra bite.... Peace.

photo essays of my life

It won't take long to notice I have a lot of images.

I am fascinated by them , my father is a photographer and has been taking photos of myself and my siblings ever since any of us can remember.

As a child pouring over the many large black and white images of my mother,strangers, objects and our friends and family, each one told a story held a moment frozen .I wondered what the people were thinking, where were they going.

Photos are simple, complicated, creative & revealing..............anyways, I have always kept a camera at the ready........... capturing a moment in time is priceless , it is pure ...... the person ,object or emotion conveyed is subjective it is in the eye of the beholder.......I do it simply because I love to.........
