When my youngest agrees to model for my series....it’s always the best day. As always..... the magic of this series (to me) is that nothing is Photoshopped or manipulated in post (other than slight color tweaks). I don’t use double-exposure, either. It’s all one shot.....straight out of the camera using my own special sauce of perception-shifting elements to change how the viewer sees the everyday. It was Mother’s Day in Portugal last Sunday. My kids gave me flowers. This photo is just my daughter (you can see her hand resting on her face) and those flowers. It’s the most representative of the way my brain looks all the time, really, in all it’s loud, interesting, neurodivergent splendor. LOL.

Two days in a row! Look at me go!
This photograph was a collaboration with my daughter, who is graduating this year with a degree in sound design. She sent me music she composed and I created an image for it. It’s not titled yet, but eventually when the right title hits me...it will be.

I’ve recently met some fellow artists and it made me realize how much I miss being around a community of artists. have inspired me to be more proactive in getting my work out there! So… here goes! A recent photograph…..
