About Me


Just a girl with a camera, doing my thing.
Recently took two trips up to Seoul this year to visit my husband. Quickly learning about the military life, and becoming accustomed to the distance that comes along with it. Despite its resrictions, life is beyond great at this point. In the next half of the year, I envision a few more trips to Korea, with our last trip home, hopefully for good.
Excerpt from Jim Harrison's "Going Places":
"I'm planning a trip when I finish my current novel, for which I had to make an intense study of the years 1865 to 1900 in our history, also the history of Native Americans. I intend to check out locations where I sensed a particular magic in the past: certain culverts in western Minnesota, nondescript gullies in Kansas, invisible graveyards in New Mexico, moonbeam targets in Nebraska. buffalo jumps in Montana, melted ice palaces in the Dakotas, deserted but well-stocked wine warehouses in California. Maybe I'll discover a new bird or animal. Maybe I'll drive up a gravel road that winnows into a two-track that stops at an immense swale, in the center of which is a dense woodlot. I'll wade through the bog into the woods, where I'll find an old, gray farmhouse. In this farmhouse I'll find all my beloved dead dogs and cats in perfect health, tended by the heroines in my novels. I'll make a map of this trip on thin buckskin that I'll gradually cut up and add to stews. Everyone must find his own places."
