An Imaginary Space about Becoming Real
“You don’t want to wait for that aged jockey role,” said Billy Crystal in a recent interview.
The Caretaker concurs and highly recommends creative visibility no matter your age or stage.

My Laundry and I are going to Colorado!
Thrilled to have The Caretaker, (aka Day 112 of my self portrait series), selected for the Identity exhibition at The Center for Fine Art Photography this November. Barbara Tannenbaum, Curator of Photography at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, was the juror. Thank you to photographers Clare O’Neill and Catherine Just for encouraging me to share my photos. And to Catherine’s class, In Plain Sight, for whom this photo was created. I’ll write more on the photo, taken in Boca Grande, FL, as I was getting ready for paying customers, later. Sounds slightly scandalous. Wouldn’t that be an interesting tale for the Half Century Mark Hotel? More later on this! Thanks for stopping by. Oh, wait. Additional thanks to photographer Vivienne McMaster and my YAYOM Muses for getting me started on this self-portrait adventure. xoxox

But instead there is sadness in our little community this summer. A friend named Brian died suddenly this week. He was vacationing with his beautiful family. He was not yet 50.
Brian and his entire amazing, close-knit tribe love to sing and perform. I love to take photographs. They are helping me to get over myself and do what I love. Life is so fragile. Live it full.
