Featured Work

Paper Beauty by Nadya Emanuel Johnson

The lady on the left was my grandmother Theadora and the others were her sisters— Ann (top right), Kate just below Ann and toward the center, Genevieve. I am not sure how or why such beauty can flower so robustly for so short and sweet a time, then go—where? This photo, taken in the long ago, is so old now no one is alive who remembers them the way they were. Kate lived the longest. Reached the grand old age of 104. Gen was close behind and died at 94. Dodo, as we called my grandma, passed away at 80. I did not know Ann because she died at 32. Who would have seen this, on the day they went to the studio to pose for the photographer? Why is it, there are only images on paper now, quickly fading figures glimpsed as though reflections in a half-seen window-pane? Or, as they believe in some quarters of the world, is some wisp of spirit caught in photographs, the way a tiny fossil is enshrined in limestone over geologic time? Maybe…. When I look at this, I feel certain beauty – much like energy – is really not destroyed but only changed; somewhere and some-when, whether in a dream, a memory or in another realm beyond imagining, beauty and the human spirit carry on.
"I Do!" by Sheila Pippenger

My baby sister, All grown up!
The ghost of childhood by Squealia

Hannah is rapidly leaving childhood behind, and turning into one of those strange beings we know as a teenager! Although she is nowhere near her teenage years, her attitude and general outlook on life is that of a budding teen! Nikon d40 18-55mm and editing in CS3, as this was snapped at my mothers without much thought to background or clothing! Natural light through patio doors. Aged 9

I heart daydreaming by Adriana Glackin

I took this photo today as I was writing my latest blog post on how to take self-portraits. Please don’t expect any thing too technical, or even helpful in my post. It’s just my candid look at SP’s. Plus, I went to the hairdresser today for a treatment and wanted to take advantage of the fact that my hair was behaving. /

I am an Egg…Let me. / Let me be. / Let me be crushed. / Into me.

There is no growth without the pain and work of building. There is no growth without failure. There is no growth without lessons, love and letting of it all to proceed. Each time you break is an opportunity for growth. Took me 37 years to learn that. Now… when I break… I know I am getting somewhere.
