Come Laden With Gifts
Photomanipulation….one of my greatest pleasures…especially when doing a portrait. I love using my own photos and adding stock images to finish the picture. I started with a sunset landscape I shot at the beach and ended with this composite.

Inspired by poetry:
And You Thought You Were the Only One
by Mark Bibbins
I have forgotten how to lie, despite all my capable teachers.
Lies are, in this way, I think, like music
and all is the same without them as with.
The fluid sky retains regret, then bursts.
He is still there, standing in the hall, insisting
he is someone I once knew and wanted,
come laden with gifts he cannot return.
If I open the door he’ll flash and fade
like heat lightning behind a bank of clouds
one summer night at the edge of the world.
Thanks to the beautiful model“
Musically inspired – The Sweetest Taboo by Sade
There’s a quiet storm
and it never felt like this before.
There’s a quiet storm
that is you.
There’s a quiet storm
and it never felt this hot before.
Giving me something that’s taboo
Sometimes I think you’re just too good for me.
