 “Many memories are dead ends. That’s why I throw away a thousand pages. If you haven’t thrown away a thousand, then you don’t have four hundred that are worth a shit. You have to edit ruthlessly.”

 Cinderella had to dress up so that the Prince could see her inner beauty.
 We had over ten models including Autumn at my #creatingyourvision #photographyworkshop interacting with the juried sculpture exhibit Art on the Trails and the sublime natural beauty in Southborough, Ma. Great weather, wonderful art and superb models made for a spectacular day! Stay tuned for details regarding the next workshop on October 18 involving lots of snakes and beautiful models just in time for Halloween.
 Each of us is a tiny being, permitted to ride on the outermost skin of one of the smaller planets for a few dozen trips around the local star.

Looking up with my camera, I bore witness to these jackdaws swooping gracefully in and out and over the ruins. I am returning once again to Ireland in hopes to say hello to my new observant friends. 'There are many a rumor of the Jackdaw being a bad, or even an evil, omen that can indicate bad luck and bad fortune in your life. Generally, through befriending the Jackdaw totem the bad luck and bad fortune can be faced and worked through. The Jackdaw is in truth an omen to indicate what needs to be brought to attention in your life. With Jackdaw there are often powerful portends and premonitions ... as a familiar and totem guide, the Jackdaw makes an excellent companion.' 'The species may be the only animal aside from humans known to understand the role of eyes in seeing and perceiving things, according to a new study by Oxford University.

 We are not close, my family and I. It is mostly distance. I suppose it always is. But there are shining shared moments that stay. Like this one late summer afternoon along the Missouri River near Mokane, Mo where my sister and I walked together, then apart, then together again.
