photography, good strong coffee, mary janes, lip gloss... CS3, polaroids, roadtrips, taking pictures of chairs... kettle & cran or jameson neat (depending on my mood)... pinhole cameras, being crafty... ambient light, amidol and segull, cyanotypes, learning new things... vintage porn, sexy toons, dirty boys, pin-up girls... used bookstores, ice cream sandwiches, dancing the tango... ribbons in my hair, sand between my toes... sushi, flip flops, fortune cookies, apples with peanut butter... missing san francisco, losing track of time in the darkroom... and i love the last hour before the sun goes down ...

QuotesA photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know. -Diane Arbus
If you are not willing to see more than is visible, you won't see anything. -Ruth Bernhard
It is no accident that a photographer becomes a photographer any more than the lion tamer becomes a lion tamer. -Dorthea Lange
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed. -Gary Winogrand
My best work is often almost unconcious and occurs ahead of my ability to understand it. -Sam Abell
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept. -Ansel Adams
My portraits are more about me than the people I photograph. -Richard Avedon
Consulting the rules of composition before taking a photograph, is like consulting the laws of gravity before going for a walk. -Edward Weston
Like the collector, the photographer is animated by a passion that, even when it appears to be for the present, is linked to a sense of the past. -Susan Sontag
