Peace


Like music, photography can be very emotive. It's one of the reasons I have fallen in love with taking pictures. I don't care if other people like them, but when they mean something to me...then they are really special.

Like this picture. I love it. It's beautiful. But I love it the most because it reminds me of my friend Sarah from college.

Sarah was the most beautiful person I have ever known inside and out. She had a loving spirit and spunky attitude. She LOVED the ocean. It was the only place she found peace.

I still miss her and think of her often. I wish she had chosen life, and accepted peace in the fleeting moments that she felt it. And I hope she is at peace now.

This one is in memory of Sarah D. Davis.

A new day.

It's been awhile since I've even thought of updating. Life got busy, depressing, and ultimately nothing felt blogworthy. Since I have noticed on my stats that tons of people are still checking in, and I've been avoiding calls, emails and private facebook messages, I will put one semi personal update out for all the world to see.

It is true. I am seperated, almost divorced. The reasons are private and personal and if I have not already told you personally why, you will never know.

I am dealing with it the best that I can and I do not want to "hash it out" with anyone or dwell on it anymore than necessary.

What am I doing that is keeping me so busy?? Work. Work. Work.  It really never ends. I will spend my evening grading projects, tomorrow afternoon working at the Gap and then tomorrow evening taking portraits. I'm sneaking in photography fun wherever I can as my passion for photography has taken over my life.

Now that I am settled in a new place and the school year is off to a good start, I will be posting lots of pictures.

I'm looking forward to a nice weekend trip soon to Zion National Park. A much needed photography retreat. I can't wait.
