A magical bit of this photo session was when I asked her to play for a bit... and something about that gorgeous, rich sound pouring over the sunny field... so unexpected and kind of just for me... Man!

We made these portraits for a new website  introducing her project, In Tandem. It's dedicated to bringing new voices to, and breaking barriers of color, in classical music. See lucialin dot com for duet videos from the project.

That time i photographed @moodystreetcircuskid and That time i photographed @moodystreetcircuskid and @cirquemelinda being amazing on their aerial equipment, and we were done and i was starting to pack up and they said, Okay, your turn! 

What!? I was skeptical, but when the prima coaches are telling you yes... of course you have to go for it! 

1) showing me my first move. 2) hoist assist. 3) adjusting to how high it feels to mere mortals. 4) I learned one hand is for styling and one hand is for: Death Grip!

I remember this time at Bryce Canyon when we said, should we get up super early and go photograph the dawn? and we decided yes even though the forecast was cloudy... and we got our lovely dawn photos. And then we were turning away, okay let's go get breakfast, and right then this rainbow shimmered into being right before us and i was just stunned with appreciation. Speechless! Overwhelmed by beauty. With @wigglefloofs and @definitely_hans

A dark image for All Hallows Eve. Thanks to B for A dark image for All Hallows Eve. Thanks to B for always being my willing model. And then this from one of my favorite poets, #MaryOliver: 
To live in this world
 you must be able
 to do three things: 
to love what is mortal; to hold it 
against your bones knowing 
your own life depends on it; 
and, when the time comes to let it go,
 to let it go." (And thinking of my mom who would have been 98 today. Miss her. )
