live your love

currently
thinking about … traveling to LA, going to the beach, photography and shooting out in nature again!
listening to RHYE, RIHANNA, BRUNO MARS. listen to one of those summer days, stay, if you knew, and tell me it doesn’t make you all fuzzy and quixotic. 

loving … the pink, gorgeous sunrise I’ve woken up to lately.

reading (re-reading) east of eden and poetry by e.e. cummings. 

yearning to play my guitar and taking lessons again.

seeing the call and maybe, OZ. you see, I grew up reading all the l. frank baum books, not just the wizard of oz. i hope they never try to remake the classic movie.


looking forward to SPRING. it’s been so white, grey, and bleh. time for a bloom of color!

LIVE YOUR LOVE
In high school, I remember my art class teacher telling me that art was not a “hobby” and that I should pursue it because I had the talent. In college, while experimenting with a variety of fine arts media, I felt a very strong pull towards graphics and photography. This is when I worked on my (and THE first – how dated am I?) Mac computer. My advisor/professor TOLD me I would be a fool if I didn’t go into commercial art, and that’s when I started to believe that I could make a life out of doing what I love. Twenty-some years later, I’m still working as a graphic designer. As a designer, I’ve learned so much about color/layout/design and I have collaborated with other creatives, including photographers. It wasn’t long before I started to find time for photography itself, evolving from film to digital. As someone who is always looking to grow creatively, photography has become my current outlet – allowing me to share what I’ve experienced and learned by capturing those special *moments* for others. And I LOVE that.
People ask me, How do you do it? When do you find the time? Well, when you love what you do, you find time. As a designer by day, I’ve taken a few evenings and weekends to pursue my other love – photography. If that interest you, drop me a line, check/LIKE us on Facebook and contact me here. I am looking forward to spring, when life starts to bloom again. You know what I mean … can you JUST FEEL IT?
