one of the things i've been focused on during this pandemic is to sort through a ton of work; to edit, to update web and to reflect...... eventually tying the threads together of the same and different portfolios..
bc there is an abundance of work it feels overwhelming at times. i uncover new / old images.. what resonated once might not be the one that resonates now.. as we evolve our perspective and inner responses change
One of the hardest portfolios for me is one out of two done during my Cancer years.... one actually wading through the most difficult time of my life... the other to be seen later on.. is the life of my wigs.. both of which i named.. (Lola and Esmerelda)
it’s so hard to look at things that bring you back in time to a place you didn't want to stare down even then.. i recognize now how much i protected myself.. creating some psychological barriers.. one was having a lot of humor, even about myself..... listening to others woes..not my own.....and the other was finding the peace and honesty in just being in the moment.. quiet. stillness... alone
interestingly enough.. those two hard years, informed me so much, that when Covid-19 hit and we had to isolate and be separate from those we loved... i had already had this experience..not totally isolated(my friends and family were very much present).... but dropping out of my life so to speak to fight...being home and much of the time alone..
this was one of those quiet times.. when i saw something as i got out of bed and knew i had to grab my camera to shoot this singular moment
