One of my piece of art. This is a snow carving that I made myself in February 2006. It was at the Yukon Sourdough Rendez-vous. She was about 7 feet high to give you an idea. / / It took me 26 hours of consecutive work (no sleep) with a few breaks along the way to warm my toes up… (it was pretty near -40 degrees Celscius below that night. But I was dressed pretty well.) I called her Into The Light because I finished sculpting her when the sun came and shined on her from above the building that was standing in front of her. It was 12(noon) at the time.. I had started to carve her the day before at 10 am. She has her hands open to the sky, for she is as ready to give herself, as ready to receive from the creator.

Taken as part of a collaboration with Daniel Rarela. He has written a beautiful piece about sexuality and the church, called If Forever Is Denied Daniel explains: / Even if God won’t ever allow to give my heart to any man other than Jesus… I consider it one of His greatest mercies that there will always be music, and there will always be dance. And when the beat is right, all prejudices, hatred, and all around negativity just seem to melt away once you get on the floor. Let’s keep dancing! This image is one of many buildings lit up as part of the 2008 Adelaide Festival. After 9pm the lights come on transforming the building into a personality! The facade reminds me of how individual we can be.

When I visited Rouen in France I caught sight of an old man that every day would sit in this same spot listening to music, with his companions; an old labrador and a balck rabbit. I love how the expression of both the man and dog are quite similar. He’s been sitting there for over 25 years.

My father-in-law is nearly 81, and holding on to his way of living, taking care of his appartment, fending for himself, and looking after his ailing girlfriend as well. Walking to her appartment everyday to help her with the daily chores, to do the necessary errands, and to make sure that she takes her medication properly. Walking back to his place in the evening, doing his own housework, laundry, sweeping and shoveling, choosing to maintain two households instead of moving in with his girlfriend, holding on dearly to his independance. Stubbornly holding on to his dignity, refusing to use the cane that could help him when he gets the occasional bout of dizziness. Choosing to do all this hard work instead of going to a retirement home, holding on fiercely to his pride and autonomy. Taking care of his son and grandsons, always making sure that they are well and happy, that they have everything they need. Holding on lovingly to his fathership. Going on through life, with the constant pain in his joints, the weight of all those years pressing down on his shoulders and on his heart, just holding on… Focal length 55mm / ISO-200 / Aperture f/5,6 / Shutter 1/13 sec.

Germany, May 2009. / Work by Eva. / Untouched, as is. / Taken with my Pentax k20d with the setting to black & white. I used a slight blue tinge to give the image a crispier feel. I love the elder flower. I can remember the very first time that I smelled them as a child. The aroma stopped me in my tracks and I had to search where it was coming from. A friend of ours makes a syrup from the flowers and we add a sip of it to sparkling wine. / Also featured in the PENTAX group!
The Lua or Lawa are the aboriginal peoples of northern Thailand, and have probably descended from the original stone-age settlers who arrived more than 20,000 years ago. They have been largely assimilated and now only a handful of villages exist where Lua traditions, culture and language survive. This old woman has seen more changes in her life than hundreds of generations of her ancestors. She wears her once white, hand spun, hand woven smock, silver bangles, necklaces and earrings and has smoked a pipe since she was a child.

The homeless population of Philadelphia is as large as ever. This particular gentleman was a wonderful character – so proud and full of spirit and dignity. He was very gracous when I asked if I could photograph him! It recently was shown and sold (11×14 print) in the Photographic Society of Philadelphia’s Exhibit at Philadelphia City Hall! Thank you kind sir!

Featured in: Your Country’s Best The Georgia Historical marker for this covered bridge reads: Built in 1897 by Nathaniel Richardson, this 99 foot long bridge originally carried the Wakinsville-Athens Road over Calls Creek. It was moved here in 1924 and the road was relocated to its present site. The nearby c. 1900 grist mill ceased operation in 1941. Constructed in the town lattice style , the bridge’s web of planks crisscrossing at 45- to 60-degree angles are fastened with wooden pegs, or trunnels, at each intersection. It is one of only a few bridges in Georgia that still carries traffic without help from underlying steel beams. 2001.21 / Elder’s Mill bridge, is located in Oconee County, Georgia.
