. . . part magic, part mysticism, sugar sass, litany profanity, complete with red tangly tasty bits . . . . the ethe(real) . I am a monstrous and lithe energy just barely contained in this luminous soft-candy shell. right handed and dual-brained hard on the heart and easy on the eyes. I am always hungry often cold but a lover of sleep which soothes both. I am moving towards daydreams that are intensely private but talk too much in my writing and laugh too loudly and give me away. I am singing my own song painting my own image writing my own story photographing my own vision and the whole of the work fills my entire body with its art and resonates with purpose in my mind. I am sometimes cruel particularly judgemental and that is my protection. still i am capable of profound love and understanding and gentility and that is my gift. I am the ace at seeing good or at least morbid humor in the worst possible things. I am not afraid of much except losing someone slowly. I am terribly sarcastic unwilling to accept "no" impossibly stubborn frustrated by time and this means I can do anything once i learn how to carve the hours out and forgive myself and others for the occasional loss of ambition. I am constantly improving by ups and downs and always looking for a new way to love everyone i know and especially those i don't, because, through love i am. . the technical . Born June th, - a female, lifetime student achievement award in Psychology, a former childhood Navy-brat born on Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor Washington, no children, mostly full-time job. i'm a voracious reader, a prolific writer, a terrific listener, a dedicated people watcher (windshield psychology), a good friend, a photographer, a singer and guitar player, a music and wine appreciator and a lover of cats. i've traded my time for money as a genius waitress and by completing odd contract jobs in freelance writing and photography. I consider myself a photographer hobbyist who enjoys nature and shoots primarily digital. i spend much of my time stomping through the woods garden, chasing butterflies, combing grass, lifting leaves and getting muddy. Though i prefer to be out in the field, i also enjoy event photography, portraiture and photographing pets. The goal in my photography is not only to document life as i see it through my eyes and the eye of my camera, but to achieve vibrancy in color and tone, to highlight the minute and the sublime, to capture the most concentrated and simplest essence of the subject, and to perhaps show you something in the world that you may not have seen before or have never seen in quite that way. Most of the photography i do is for pleasure family events, weddings, and nature photography, though it has included some minor, but nice local recognition as an Honorable Mention winner of the Maryland Natural Resources Photo Contest and was included in the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Calendar. i was also a finalist in the rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest in the Altered Images Category. i believe in the barter system and everything is fine so long as i eat, the bills get paid, i continue my education, live relatively stress free and enjoy my life.
