A quote by D.H. Lawrence best articulates the driving force behind my love for photography: “The human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.”

An arch is the shape which we commonly attribute to rainbows, but did you know that the true shape of a rainbow is that of a circle and not a bow?
Solitary foe / escaping through / the window / of my soul / declaring woe / and no one / knew / the bitter cup / was full?
I know an old cowboy. his blue eyes sparkle when he talks to me. “Where’ve you been girl?”
for lest our love in Eden grew it simply can not be / that blood nor sweat nor tears would end / nor set the garden of thy heart from thorns and toil free
