Heads-up! Prices are going up for all my photo prints and transfers on Tuesday, September 8. Purchase at the old price before then… via my website, in person at my studio at the ArtsXchange, or contact me directly.

When a simple bar of chocolate that sustains my creative powers costs over $5 now, which is more than double what it cost a year ago then you can imagine how much materials and printing costs now… and I just can’t sustain the old prices anymore. But I didn’t want to do this without a warning.

Now is the time to get the piece you’ve been thinking about or come check out what I currently have on inventory.

Prices will go up by different percentages depending on materials.

For example, this angel photographed at Green-Wood cemetery in Brooklyn, as a 16 x 24 inch archival pigment print on 100% cotton Hahnemuehle Photo Rag Baryta paper and mounted in a hand-built frame by Scott Solary aka Man Glitter Studio is currently priced at $275. On Tuesday, the price will increase to $400 (unless it sells beforehand).

Not an easy decision to make and lots of logistics ahead to get all the new prices figured out and updated. But needs must.

It is true, I took quite a few bald eagle photos while in Alaska. And I don't know if this is the best one because I haven't looked at them all yet - and there may always be more photos. But this is the one I'll share with you now.

Public Service Reminder from Homer: keep looking for the silver lining... even if you have to zoom in and realize THAT is what the name of the boat is.

Altogether this is one of the luckiest photos I've taken while in Alaska. No clouds or fog covering the mountains as the sun sets across Kachemak Bay - the aptly named boat, the bird, the snowy peaks... and no cropping.

To my friends who sometimes wake up with anxiety about sticking out and not quite fitting in - maybe because they think they’re too loud, too bright, too inquisitive, too relentless, too big - maybe because they seem to care, invest, think, debate, protest, ask more than they think they should - maybe because they wish they could just be like “everyone else” and get in line and work quietly and make the money and have the family and just fit in…

Earlier this week, when I tried to walk off morning anxiety on the path behind my what is now just my mom’s house, in my head I turned to my dad and asked for his guidance… and suddenly saw this one yellow sunflower blooming in a huge field of green fava bean plants.

The messages couldn’t be clearer: run back and get your camera because this is who you are. Nothing calms and centers me like taking a photograph. And hardly anything makes me happier than sharing a photo and hoping you get my message: YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! It doesn’t matter how alike or different you are from others or how different you are from how you think you should be. Just be you (as long as you don’t hurt anyone else, of course).

Does the sentence: be the sunflower in a field of fava beans sound as cheesy as it gets? Sure. But hey, I just call it as I see it. Also: if you’re a fava bean, you too are beautiful!

What: wild sunflower in fava bean field
Where: Haselau
When: July

Today, I’m also going to embrace how hard it is for me to make decisions - so I present 4 different photos of the same plant from different angles. One has an insect.

Wasp Summer in Germany

If I had entered something into the "Sugar High" exhibit currently on view at the , I probably would have submitted this one.
But I didn't.
Because (again)... sometimes we just can't do all the things. And there's been a lot going on already.

Also, of course every German summer is a wasp summer.
